Pro Comment: This is a graveyard format for sure, and in the past Gnaw to the Bone has worked well in really grindy graveyard decks by buying them the time they need to grind out a win. I could see this filling a similar role here, but that means it needs a build around grade.

Pro Comment: They want to use this to enable graveyard shenanigans, but the boost it offers is so underwhelming that it just isn’t worth it – just like it wasn’t when it was printed originally in a set with Delirium.

Pro Comment: This is clunky for sure, but turning Clues into 4/4 Flyers seems like a great way to win longer games.

Pro Comment: Ixidor's buff effect is symmetrical, which is a little awkward, but if you've gone hard on Disguise and feel that it's likely you'll have more face-down creatures than your opponents, he can work out okay.

Pro Comment: If you can cast this, your opponent probably can’t win – but that’s not gonna happen much in Limited. It doesn’t even work as a reanimation target or Collect Evidence fodder either, since it gets shuffled into your deck.

Pro Comment: A 6-mana 5/5 that will virtually always give you a 2-for-1, and usually impact the board with whatever it Cascades into, whether it’s removal or another creature.

Pro Comment: I always love this guy when we see it. When you cycle it, it’s basically a three mana draw 2 that gets you any basic land you want, and then later in the game you can play it as a big, albeit inefficient creature. It also works really well with Collect Evidence, as it puts itself in the graveyard early, making it easier for you to Collect Evidence 6 in the early stages of the game.

Pro Comment: You need lots of high toughness creatures, especially because this will even make your creatures with lower toughness than power do damage equal to their toughness, and that’s rough. It wasn’t particularly easy to make it work back in Ravnica Allegiance, and I don’t imagine it has that impressive of a ceiling here either.

Pro Comment: Not really enough Vampires around for this to be super good – but a three mana 2/2 First Strike is passable, and if you have a few vampires in your deck it’ll give you some nice additional value.

Pro Comment: This is cheap enough to be a pretty nice removal spell. Sure, you’ve gotta keep paying one, and your opponent does get windows where they’ll be able to use tap abilities and stuff like that, but this still gets something out of the way efficiently enough to be pretty nice.

Pro Comment: This format has some nice nonbasics, but not so many that you really need to be running Ghost Quarter.

Pro Comment: You’re going to use this on yourself more than your opponent, especially if you’re collecting evidence – which is likely in Blue/Black. It does hurt your mana base a bit, and the utility it offers isn’t amazing, so you probably need a pretty good mana base and a lot of graveyard stuff to really want to use this.

Pro Comment: Yeah…no thanks. Sure, you can use it on yourself to set up Collect Evidence, or try to mill your opponent out, but it takes a long time to do either of those things effectively and it does literally nothing else.

Pro Comment: On a lot of board states, this can get rid of a Clue for it never to be seen again, and it will sometimes be able to hit powerful permanents.

Pro Comment: You get two nice pieces of material for only one mana, and you even add something to the board! This format has tons of payoffs for Clues too. This gives you so much value for only a single mana.

Pro Comment: This ultimately gives you two cards, but it takes some time and some serious mana to get there, and Black isn’t exactly a color super into doing stuff with artifacts in this set, so I don’t see this as being particularly useful.

Pro Comment: So, they want you to give up a Clue to make three 1/1 Goblins, and that doesn’t seem bad, especially because the Blue-Red deck has plenty of sacrifice stuff going on.

Pro Comment: The Consign card is always a passable Limited card, and then once this is in the yard you can get a couple of cards out of your opponent’s hand. Also, this has a high mana value for Collect Evidence cards.

Pro Comment: The idea here is to give up your Clues to ping stuff, and that’s nice and all, but a 5-mana 4/4 body is pretty miserable these days.

Pro Comment: Ideally, your deck has a couple of one drops in it for you to play the Captain – the good news is, they print lots of nice one drops these days, so it’s pretty likely this’ll draw you a card. It’s sacrifice ability isn’t amazing, but sometimes you just wanna make sure your opponent can’t interact and it can do that.
