Ixalan Limited Quiz

Answered: 0/20
Accuracy: 0
Commune with Dinosaurs
Pro Rating: 2.0
Pro Comment: This is a decent 23rd card, as it can help you hit land drops and find Dinosaurs, but you end up cutting it more often than not
Blinding Fog
Pro Rating: 0.0
Pro Comment: Even in a format this aggressive, a Fog effect is unplayable
March of the Drowned
Pro Rating: 2.0
Pro Comment: This is a very efficient way to get a couple cards back from your graveyard in a Pirate deck, and having one of these around is generally a good idea if you’re in that deck. Playing more than one is asking for trouble, though.
Siren's Ruse
Pro Rating: 1.5
Pro Comment: These card’s that basically just blink/flicker something are almost never good in Limited. They are too situational. Even in a Pirate deck, where you get a cantrip, this still isn’t very exciting
Rigging Runner
Pro Rating: 2.5
Pro Comment: A one mana 1/1 with First Strike plays reasonably well in this format, and this is often a 2/2
Siren Lookout
Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: Like with most of the Explore cards, this is a nice rate no matter which thing end sup happening. A 3-mana 2/3 Flyer with Surveil 1 is a nice rate, as is a 3-mana ½ Flyer that draws you a card
Looming Altisaur
Pro Rating: 1.0
Pro Comment: If you really need a defensive creature this can fit the bill I guess, but if you’re running this your deck probably has some serious problems!
Shaper Apprentice
Pro Rating: 3.0
Pro Comment: This end sup with Flying a lot and is one of the better two drops for the Blue-Green deck
Blight Keeper
Pro Rating: 1.5
Pro Comment: This has decent stats as a one mana 1/1 Flyer and it does have some late game utility, though you don’t often reach that stage of the game
Dragonskull Summit
Pro Rating: 2.5
Pro Comment: As always, the dual land cycle in this set offers nice fixing that you should be interested in if they are in your exact color pair, or if they help you splash something
Vance's Blasting Cannons // Spitfire Bastion
Pro Rating: 4.5
Pro Comment: So this is a card that you tap out for and it doesn’t add to the board right away, but it really pays you off for that, since you get to effectively draw an extra card every turn this is in play. Even with the extra card, transforming this isn’t the easiest thing ever, but the good news is its really powerful even if you aren’t transforming it. That said, being able to Bolt things for 3 damage over and over again is also quite powerful

Pro Rating: 2.0
Pro Comment: This isn’t really the Vampire payoff you’re looking for. The creature is really inefficient – and 5 mana is a lot in this format – so the payoff isn’t that impressive. It can definitely do some damage, and you’ll end up playing it in your vampire decks, but you’re more interested in finding ways to buff your vampires than an effect like this
Ixalli's Keeper
Pro Rating: 2.0
Pro Comment: This is probably the best card in this cycle, and that’s because it starts out as a two mana 2/2, which is much better than how the others start! The late game effect won’t come up a ton, but its decent upside
Unknown Shores
Pro Rating: 1.0
Pro Comment: Filter lands are always pretty bad, and that’s the case in this format too. If you’re really desperate for fixing, it can do the job, but its way worse than most other options for fixing. It basically adds a tax of one mana to all of your off-color cards, and that’s bad
Fleet Swallower
Pro Rating: 1.5
Pro Comment: This has sub-part stats for the cost, and its mill effect isn’t particularly good either. It might seem exciting to mill half of your opponent’s library, but this card alone isn’t enough to make a mill strategy viable in this format
Drover of the Mighty
Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: This helps you ramp into some of your bigger dinosaurs, and the fact that it becomes a 3/3 is a big deal, since it isn’t quite as wimpy as most mana dorks when you get it late
Wily Goblin
Pro Rating: 1.5
Pro Comment: This is really held back by the fact that it costs Double Red. Treasure cards are at their best when they can really help you in the early game, and this just won’t do that because the mana cost is a challenge in Limited. It is fine if your deck has 12 or so Mountains, but your mana base won’t usually look like that
Dire Fleet Ravager
Pro Rating: 4.0
Pro Comment: This gets the majority of its value out of just being a 5-mana 4/4 with Menace and Deathtouch. The ETB ability is definitely nice, and sometimes it will allow you to find lethal the turn it comes down, but because it is symmetrical it isn’t like it has a big impact on the race. All that said, it is a really good card – just not a bomb
Fell Flagship
Pro Rating: 3.0
Pro Comment: Buffing all your pirates is pretty sweet, even though this Vehicle isn’t that impressive in terms of cost and how much it crews for. It does make it easier for you to crew it because it bumps the power of your Pirates, and it is a pretty real attacker thanks to the combat damage trigger
Rummaging Goblin
Pro Rating: 1.5
Pro Comment: You’re not super interested in doing this in this format. This can’t trade for much and rummaging is really slow
