Farm // Market
Average Picked At: 5.43
Total Times Picked: 139
Average Last Seen At: 5.01
Total Times Seen 542
Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: This is a pretty impressive card. Neither half of these are exactly efficiently costed, but the fact that this card does both of these things is great. Farm lets you kill any attacking or blocking creature, and while htat’s somewhat restrictive, it does deal with anything that decides to enter combat in one way or another, and there’s a whole lot of that in this format. The Farm part likely would be a solid playable all on its own, so the Market half giving you a double loot effect in the later part of the game is really nice, and will improve your card quality.
Never // Return
Average Picked At: 2.00
Total Times Picked: 35
Average Last Seen At: 1.85

Pro Rating: 4.0
Pro Comment: Obviously, the “Never” side here is premium removal, and a card that always makes the cut. This has a huge added bonus too, in that you can pay 4 mana to make a 2/2 Zombie from your graveyard later in the game, and the fact you also get to exile a card from a graveyard actually matter sometimes too.
Oketra's Monument
Average Picked At: 3.42
Total Times Picked: 120
Average Last Seen At: 3.35
Total Times Seen 324
Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: This is the only card in this cycle that is actively good in Limited. The cost reduction is nice, but the power here really comes from the ability to make 1/1 tokens. One kind of funny thing about this card is that you can actually play it pretty effectively in any deck that has lots of creature spells, and not just White ones, since adding a 1/1 to every creature spell you play is great! Obviously, it is better in White, since it will allow you to more efficiently cast spells, but yeah, it slots into most decks in the format as a pretty powerful card.
Spellweaver Eternal

Average Last Seen At: 7.15
Total Times Seen 1981
Pro Rating: 3.0
Pro Comment: Afflict and Prowess on a two mana 2/1 is a pretty good deal. The Eternal will make sure it does damage to the opponent one way or another in most scenarios, and because of Prowess your opponent has to be pretty careful about how they block. This is yet another impressive two drop in a format that is loaded up with them!
Essence Scatter
Average Picked At: 8.33
Total Times Picked: 218
Average Last Seen At: 7.19

Pro Rating: 2.5
Pro Comment: Creature spells are the most common type of spell in Magic, so Essence Scatter always tends to be a pretty solid playable in Limited. Its easy to cast and has lots of targets.
Trial of Zeal
Average Picked At: 3.17
Total Times Picked: 139
Average Last Seen At: 2.86
Total Times Seen 295
Pro Rating: 4.0
Pro Comment: 3 mana for 3 damage to anything is great, and with the Cartouche upside here, Trial of Zeal can get completely insane.
Drake Haven
Average Picked At: 2.56
Total Times Picked: 27
Average Last Seen At: 2.59
Total Times Seen 67
Pro Rating: 0.0 // 3.5
Pro Comment: Obviously enough, this is a heavy buildaround. You need a significant amount of cards with Cycling to make it worth it, as just getting one drake out of it isn’t really enough, and even two won’t be insane. As a result, this needs a buildaround grade. It will be unplayable in many decks, but in decks that get their on cycling, it will be an incredible engine!
Glorybringer
Average Picked At: 1.42
Total Times Picked: 64
Average Last Seen At: 1.42

Pro Rating: 5.0
Pro Comment: So, this is a 5-mana 4/4 with Flying and Haste, a card that can end the game rapidly for the opponent. That’s already a great card for Limited! But it of course can exert itself and also kill the vast majority of creatures in the format! So, this is a huge hasty flyer that can end games in a hurry with damage, and it can also easily pick off opposing creatures. That’s definitely a bomb.
Renewed Faith
Average Picked At: 10.37
Total Times Picked: 78
Average Last Seen At: 7.13
Total Times Seen 776
Pro Rating: 2.0
Pro Comment: You will almost always end up cycling this. Two mana for 2 life and a card is pretty decent. Three mana for six life and no card isn’t, but you do have the option to do that, and sometimes you’ll want to – like if you’ll die without doing it.
Sidewinder Naga
Average Picked At: 10.66
Total Times Picked: 217
Average Last Seen At: 8.73
Total Times Seen 2390
Pro Rating: 2.0
Pro Comment: This will sometimes be a 4/2 with Trample, which is fine, but it wouldn’t be an incredible card even if it was always a 4/2 with trample.
Trial of Solidarity
Average Picked At: 5.20
Total Times Picked: 126
Average Last Seen At: 4.59
Total Times Seen 437
Pro Rating: 3.0
Pro Comment: Cards that pump your whole board and give it Vigilance tend to be quite nice, since they drastically alter the state of a race. You’re suddenly doing way more damage, your creatures are harder to block, and your creatures can hang back to block. The Cartouche clause comes up more often than you’d think here too!
Cut // Ribbons
Average Picked At: 2.45
Total Times Picked: 47
Average Last Seen At: 2.38
Total Times Seen 64
Pro Rating: 4.0
Pro Comment: The Cut half of this card is premium removal, and the fact that you can, in the later game, cast Ribbons from the graveyard is awesome, as it will often help you finish off your opponent. This is another one of these where the part you cast from your hand is already really good, so the additional upside is amazing.
Exemplar of Strength
Average Picked At: 4.91
Total Times Picked: 80
Average Last Seen At: 4.00
Total Times Seen 399
Pro Rating: 2.0
Pro Comment: If you play this on turn two, it can potentially get out of hand, but for a lot of the game, it is basically just a two mana 1/1 that becomes a 2/2 and gains you 1 life when it attacks. That’s…not great, even in a format with various -1/-1 counter synergies.

Pro Comment: If you need a defensive two drop, you could do worse than this I guess.
Watchful Naga
Average Picked At: 6.10
Total Times Picked: 71
Average Last Seen At: 5.14
Total Times Seen 523
Pro Rating: 1.5
Pro Comment: This has sub-par stats but a pretty nice Exert ability. Even if the Naga is dead to blockers when it attacks, you do at least get a card. The most ideal scenario, of course, is to attack when your opponent can only trade with it at best, in which case they find themselves having to just take the hit or get 2-for-1’d, but that situation isn’t around for a super long time in most games.
Vile Manifestation
Average Picked At: 6.77
Total Times Picked: 71
Average Last Seen At: 5.50
Total Times Seen 548
Pro Rating: 2.0
Pro Comment: This underwhelms as a Cycling payoff for the most part. This is largely because it doesn’t have any evasion to speak of. It will often start life as a two mana 0/4 and slowly grow, which isn’t terrible of course, but it is a pretty intense build around with a pretty mediocre ceiling.
Hooded Brawler
Average Picked At: 7.97
Total Times Picked: 239
Average Last Seen At: 7.40
Total Times Seen 2036
Pro Rating: 2.5
Pro Comment: This 3-mana 3/2 can swing as a 5/4 once his base stats aren’t doing it for you anymore, and that’s enough size to be relevant all game long.
Desert of the Fervent
Average Picked At: 7.92
Total Times Picked: 319
Average Last Seen At: 7.35
Total Times Seen 2097
Pro Rating: 3.0
Pro Comment: Deserts are pretty important in this format. Not only do they provide some significant flood insurance thanks to Cycling, they also power up several cards in the format that pay you off for having Deserts. As a result, you should actually value them relatively highly, taking them over most medium cards.
Hazoret's Monument
Average Picked At: 9.39
Total Times Picked: 54

Pro Rating: 1.0
Pro Comment: This mostly isn’t worth it. A cost reduction + rummaging just won’t matter that much.
Ipnu Rivulet
Average Picked At: 9.02
Total Times Picked: 92
Average Last Seen At: 6.74
Total Times Seen 782
Pro Rating: 2.5
Pro Comment: This is the weakest of the cycle, mostly because milling isn’t that relevant in the format, but it is still a desert with some upside.
