Pro Comment: Obviously you’re going to be happiest with this in a Black-Red deck, but in that deck this seems like a pretty legit payoff. A three mana ¼ isn’t anything to write home about, but throwing a 2/1 Boulder at your opponent every time you attack with a Goblin or Orc is pretty sweet. It also works quite well alongside sacrifice outlets

Pro Comment: There are many ways to make tokens in this set, and lots of Food and Food payoffs, so Peregrin’s ability to give you more Food and cash in that food for cards is pretty impressive. The stats are underwhelming to be sure, but this is a very real value engine

Pro Comment: She has decent base stats, and getting to Scry 3 when the ring tempts you is a pretty big deal. Once you are Scrying that much it feels pretty close to drawing a card, because you gain so much control over your next few draws. And on top of that she also lets you effectively draw cards and ramp when you Scry! She seems like a very accessible value engine

Pro Comment: The first two chapters don’t really add to the board in a meaningful way, and paying 4 mana to tutor something up just isn’t a good rate – even if you do get two things out of it by chapter II. There are enough legendaries in the set that you should usually be able to make both of the first chapters actually get you cards, but it won’t just always line up that way either, making it an even bigger problem. Chapter III is where you finally get a nice effect, but it also demands that you have a significant board state to really matter, and that’s also far from guaranteed.

Pro Comment: This is a way above-rate creature that gives you food with upside every time one of your opponents creatures gets killed by it – and they are going to get killed, because Shelob has death touch and is absolutely massive. If you have other Spiders around things get sillier, but even on its own Shelob is a massive problem that your opponent has to deal with immediately

Pro Comment: A 5-mana ¾ Flyer is borderline playable, and sometimes this will give Flying to other stuff too! If you can attack with two things the turn it comes down you will get an immediate return on your investment, and if Landroval makes it to your next turn, it is very easy for you to attack with two things, since Landroval counts itself!

Pro Comment: I would already be in on a three mana ⅔ that gives something double strike when it ETBs, so the fact this triggers for your other humans – which you’ll have a lot of in Red-White – is pretty awesome.

Pro Comment: This is a fairly powerful sacrifice effect. Normally we just get “draw a card” on this type of thing and that ends up being fine, so also getting a Food out of it is some serious business. Gaining life on top of drawing a card can be a powerful way to pull ahead in a game. This has sort of decent stats too, and a useful creature type, and there’s plenty of good sacrifice fodder around

Pro Comment: This is a nice signpost for Blue-White, which is obviously about drawing two cards a turn. Getting a 1/1 is a very real return on that type of investment

Pro Comment: A two mana 1/1 that does 1 to something when it dies is borderline playable, and this has a much higher ceiling than that! It goes great with Equipment and other buffs, and it can buff its own power, really presenting a problem for your opponent. It is a pretty nice card all game long, as you can always attack with it and threatne to buff it, which creates problems on most board states. Your opponent often has to take it or risk getting 2-for-1’d when it gets pumped

Pro Comment: This is a really nice trick. Death touch and the toughness boost for only one mana means many creatures will be capable of taking down an opposing creature and surviving to tell the tale, and that’s likely to give you some pretty awesome tempo since it only costs a single mana. Its great that you also get some Food out of the deal!

Pro Comment: If you are paying three to equip this, it is basically unplayable. If you’re paying one to equip it enough of the time, it becomes a solid playable. There are certainly enough Humans in White, as well as some equipment synergies in the set.

Pro Comment: Manalith doesn’t tend to be very good in Limited. Using up a card just for inefficient fixing and ramp can be rough, though adding “The Ring Tempts You” to the mix probably does enough for this to be fixing you turn to when you’re desperate

Pro Comment: You get three 3/2 worth of stats for two mana here. And sure, you don’t get it all at the same time, but this still looks like a solid two drop.

Pro Comment: So if you don’t already have an army this gives you a one mana 1/1, and if you already have one, it puts a counter on your army, and then can put another counter on it when it attacks. That sounds pretty good, though there will certainly be times where neither effect really helps you do much, as if you aren’t able to attack with an Army this will feel pretty bad

Pro Comment: These effects are all pretty nice things to tack on to instants and sorceries – especially the ability to copy a spell. 3 damage to the opponent and tapping or untapping something isn’t quite as exciting, but I’ll take it. Eventually, you can bounce Gandalf to the top of your deck and reset everything – and you can also protect him from removal when you use that effect

Pro Comment: His ability to untap is reasonably easy to trigger in Blue-Green, but also not the most exciting thing ever. His ability to grow is where the real value is, but Green/blue is awkwardly a color pair that isn’t that good at killing things outside of combat, which limits just how good this can be. Additionally, his base stats are not remotely impressive

Pro Comment: At worst, this is a 4-mana 2/2 that does 2 to something. That’s a decent card, and this has the upside of sometimes doing significantly more damage, provided this isn’t the first time you’ve Amassed.

Pro Comment: Bilbo is going to be tough to block most of the time, since once the Ring tempts you a single time, your ring-bearer becomes very difficult to block. This means getting treasure out of Bilbo is fairly easy, and its great that even if he goes down, he makes sure you can get an additional effect and choose a new ring-bearer.
