Pro Comment: This is quite the Crocodile! It has great base stats and comes with Blitz, and it also makes every creature you sacrifice into a 2-for-1, since you can exile that creature to make a creature token. This includes the Devourer himself, so you can Blitz him in and then get an Ooze from your graveyard. Most of the time, you’re probably hoping to give up some different creatures than the Devourer, because that way you can continue to generate absurd value.

Pro Comment: This is a pretty neat take on a Threaten effect, since it actually gives you a ton of value even if you are unable to sacrifice the stolen creature – and that’s usually what you have to do to get enough value out of an effect like this. But, this pushes that notion aside, as making the creature unable to block and making it damage your opponent gives you enough that most Red decks are just interested in playing this. It is great for aggressive decks.

Pro Comment: This does replace itself, so it isn’t a complete disaster – but overall, it isn’t very good. The ability to turn into a creature is incredibly clunky at three mana, and is only the sort of thing you will be using in the extreme late game, really limiting how good this card can be.

Pro Comment: This is basically a one mana ½ that can draw you a card for two mana. That’s a pretty great place to sink mana, even if you don’t have control over what you get.

Pro Comment: This is some nice removal, as getting to cast it twice isn’t exactly far-fetched. You won’t always be able to take down two different creatures with it, but even if you don’t get that 2-for-1, this is some nice value.

Pro Comment: A 3/1 with Menace is a pretty nice attacker all game long, so having Blitz and giving it to a card in your hand is great upside.

Pro Comment: This doesn’t always line up to actually kill something, but it has a great stat-line, so the fail case is pretty reasonable. Meanwhile, it has the upside of destroying multiple things!

Pro Comment: This is a solid way to protect your creature, and it tends to save the creature twice because of the shield counter.

Pro Comment: A 4-mana 2/3 with Flash that bounces a nonland permanent is something you would always play, so the upside of making that card also cost one additional mana is just gravy.

Pro Comment: This is a bit clunky, but it is a source of card advantage that can really help. However, sometimes it is just too slow and you get run over..

Pro Comment: A two mana 1/3 that can tap for mana of any color is already great in Limited, even if it is limited to creatures. So, the fact this also draws you cards sometimes is pretty nice! And it isn’t that hard to set up. Not every creature in your deck will draw you a card of course, but you’ll usually have 3-4 that will trigger this ability.

Pro Comment: If you’re interested in ramping, this can definitely do it. Most decks in the format aren’t super interested in going that route, though.

Pro Comment: I love that you can use this to give up something on board to draw a card or you can use it to get rid of an opposing creature. And sure, your opponent gets a card back, but that is often well worth dealing with a problem threat.

Pro Comment: This is pretty strong, as it makes trading a creature into a 2-for-1. You also know you’re always going to get a pretty real card from the Wake, and if you’re also sacrificing creatures it gets even better!

Pro Comment: This is a three mana 2/3 that Connives when it enters – I’m already very interested in that! In addition to looting when it enters, you also get an additional card when you discard your first card every turn, and that’s going to include Diviner of Fates Connive. Even if you never trigger it again, you’re going to feel pretty great about what it has done, and if you can do it more than once, it is pretty tough for you to lose.

Pro Comment: This card packs some pretty impressive power, as just buffing all the creatures you have every turn really adds up. I particularly like that it triggers during your end step, so as long as you have some creatures in play, it even impacts the board the turn you play it.

Pro Comment: 4-mana for a 4/5 with Flying and Ward 1 is something you would always play, so the fact that this stocks the graveyard and can even give you a Dig Up the Body is pretty legit upside.

Pro Comment: Regrowth only sometimes make the cut in Limited, and stapling Giant Growth to it doesn’t really do enough to change that.

Pro Comment: A two mana 2/1 with Haste is pretty reasonable, and generating Treasure certainly matters! Actually cashing treasure in to draft a card doesn’t line up that often, though.

Pro Comment: This is mostly just a 5-mana 4/5 Flyer, which is solid enough. The upside of getting Demonic Pact is pretty dangerous – it is a card that has “You lose the game” in the text box, after all! But the other effects of the Pact are pretty good, and sometimes you’ll be in a situation where getting the Pact helps you win in a turn or two. So, being able to get the Pact is definitely upside, just not upside you should really cash in on unless you’re reasonably certain you can win in the very near future.
