Thrash of Raptors
Pro Rating: 2.5
Pro Comment: This is a nice little Common payoff for the Dinosaur deck, as it just end sup being a 5/3 with Trample a huge chunk of the time, and that’s a nice attacker
Captivating Crew
Pro Rating: 4.5
Pro Comment: This has a powerful activated ability, even if it is a bit expensive. It lets you just steal your opponent’s best creature every turn and throw it at them, and that’s kind of the floor. Sometimes stealing an opposing creature is enough to just give you lethal in the first place
Prying Blade
Pro Rating: 1.5
Pro Comment: This doesn’t give much of a boost for the cost, and getting Treasure isn’t enough to offset that fact
Duress
Pro Rating: 0.5
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
Colossal Dreadmaw
Pro Rating: 2.0
Pro Comment: This is a solid top-curve creature to have, and it is often the biggest thing when it comes down
Queen's Commission
Pro Rating: 2.5
Pro Comment: Three mana is a decent deal for two creatures with lifelink that have a useful type.
Wanted Scoundrels
Pro Rating: 1.5
Pro Comment: The downside here is pretty real. If you play this on turn two, it is definitely a threat, but there are lots of ways it can die, and even in combat trading tow creatures for it is often well worth it because of the treasure you get. It is actually kind of better in the late game, because by the time you’re there, your opponent won’t be getting as much of an advantage out of the treasure, but it definitely isn’t a very good card

Pro Comment: No matter which thing you get out of this, it feels really good. Its either a 3-mana 2/1 with First Strike that draws you a card, or a 3-mana 3/2 with First Strike that gives you a tiny bit of card selection. You would play either of those cards 100% of the time, so the fact it is going to be one of those is great.
Sword-Point Diplomacy
Pro Rating: 2.0
Pro Comment: This looks like it would be completely unplayable, but it is a bit better than that. This is because aggro decks are so legit in this format, and you can often cast this and really put your opponent in a pick-your-poison situation. Now, if you aren’t already threatening your opponent, a card like this gets a lot less good, because your opponent will have some better options, but this is actually a decent playable
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
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
Lurking Chupacabra
Pro Rating: 1.5 // 3.0
Pro Comment: This definitely has a powerful ability if you have enough Explore going on, and you can end up in BG decks in this format where that’s pretty doable. The trigger almost always has something to kill. However, you can’t really play this unless you have 8+ ways to Explore in your deck, and I think that means it needs a build around grade.
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
Vraska, Relic Seeker
Pro Rating: 5.0
Pro Comment: A 5-mana 4/4 with Vigilance and Lifelink would be pretty solid in this format, since it can really wreak havoc on a race and help you gain enough life to endure your opponent’s aggressive onslaught. I mean, its basically Batterskull! So, the added ability to destroy nonland permanents is a pretty big deal. 7 life is a lot, but Vona will gain you that life on its own. Its also nice you can attack with it to gain 4 life, and then use the ability on the same turn. This is a bomb
Fiery Cannonade
Pro Rating: 0.5
Pro Comment: This is mostly sideboard material. Having it in your main deck against Pirates is awful. If you are a Pirate deck it gets better, but you still have to find the right situation to make use of it, and those don’t come up a whole lot
Sanctum Seeker
Pro Rating: 4.0
Pro Comment: This is a really nice treasure payoff, but turning three of them into a card is no joke. You won’t always have the time to use the other ability, but when you can it is obviously fuel the card draw
Grim Captain's Call
Pro Rating: 1.5
Pro Comment: This is mostly not doable in this format. It is a grindy card in a format that isn’t grindy, and it forces you to have a nice mix of creature types that isn’t that easy to come by. Obviously, if you can use it to return 3+ creatures it feels pretty good, but it isn’t going to be doing that until the extreme late game.
Tishana's Wayfinder
Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: You will be really happy whether you get a 3-mana 2/2 that draws you a card, or a 3-mana 3/3 with Surveil 1. This is great value
Treasure Map // Treasure Cove
Pro Rating: 4.0
Pro Comment: This is powerful. Scry 1 for 1 mana isn’t a terrible deal, as it allows you to really filter your draws, and it is definitely worth the investment in this case, because this eventually transforms and starts drawing you cards and/or fixing your mana
Crushing Canopy
Pro Rating: 1.0
Pro Comment: You can play this in your main deck if you’re desperate, as there are enough targets between the two modes, but it is still better out of the sideboard.
