Pro Comment: I feel like this was printed mostly with EDH in mind so people could have a defender lord, as there isn’t much defender in this set. Still, I mean it is a 4-mana 3/5 with Flying and Vigilance, which is great stats. But the difficulty in taking full advantage of this card is real. I don’t even really think this is worth splashing for in most cases despite the reasonable stats, because 3-colors of mana is hard enough to do in Limited that you want a bigger payoff than this. Sure, if you end up with a few creatures with defender it moves up a bit, but that’s just not going to happen often enough. Basically I wouldn’t recommend splashing just for this, but if you’re already going with these three colors, it is a fine inclusion.

Pro Comment: This is better than it looks. The random effect is frustrating for sure, but you get to decide what to get rid of on each side, and most of the time this is enough for you to come out ahead. Basically, it is more upside than downside, and we’re already talking about a 6-mana 6/6 flyer! The random aspect does keep it from being a bomb, but its close.

Pro Comment: Giving a creature -3/-3 at Instant speed for 4 seems like an ok deal to me. These kinds of weakening effects always have a little extra utility too, sure – you can use it as straight up removal to kill something with 3 or less toughness – but you can also use it to weaken a creature and then block it to kill it without losing your creature. It falls a little short of premium removal because of its cost, but it is decent card.

Pro Comment: This is a pretty nice spell build around, as by the late game it is a very real win condition. It can take a long time to grow, so that holds it back some.

Pro Comment: A 3-mana 1/1 flyer is pretty bad, but one that replaces itself is nice, especially as an artifact in a format with an archetype that pays you off for them.

Pro Comment: A 5-mana 2/4 with flying isn’t really worth it, but if you end up with ways to gain life – which is doable in BW, it turns into a token engine that will take over the game. In good BW decks, your opponent will have to kill this or die, basically.

Pro Comment: A 5-mana 4/3 flyer is something you pretty much always play, so adding the fact that it gains you 2 life each time it attacks makes it really good. It slots well into both BW lifegain and UW flyers.

Pro Comment: This is an inherently powerful card, since it loads the graveyard so very well. Unfortunately, there isn’t much of a graveyard deck in this format. There are certainly decks where it would shine in most formats, but they will be few and far between here. If you manage to get some Reassembling Skeletons, Macabre Waltzes, and a graveyard reliant rare like Graveyard Marshal or Isareth, MAYBE you can consider it, but even then I’m not so sure.

Pro Comment: This flying horse is great because it offers good defensive stats as long as you need it to, and when it is time to go on the offensive it can send a lot of damage up in the air. You’ll play as many of these as you can get your hands on in creature-heavy white decks.

Pro Comment: A two-mana 2/1 isn’t great, but this card gets some serious points for also being relevant in the latter part of the game. +2/+0 and first strike is enough to make most creatures a problem for your opponent to block, so chances are he’s going to come down and get you an attack you wouldn’t have had otherwise, in addition to offering up a body that can trade with a ton of things.

Pro Comment: This is a nice reprint for Modern players, and will probably be worth some money, so considering taking it for that reason is probably worthwhile. However, in terms of playability, there’s no real reason to play this card. In a format that maybe had a bunch of landfall or something it would be interesting, but we don’t have that here.

Pro Comment: This can be a decent finisher for Blue decks that need one. It isn’t efficient to cast, and it costs a ton to make it unblockable, but it does give you inevitability in the late game.

Pro Comment: X burn spells are excellent in Limited, they scale as the game goes on, unlike most Red removal spells – meaning this can kill pretty much anything. It can also go to the dome to end the game when necessary.

Pro Comment: This gives a nice stats boost for the mana, but I think steering clear of this Aura is the right thing most of the time. Unless you have Vine Mare of course.

Pro Comment: If you need fixing, this can do it! Having to basically pay mana for a land is kind of rough, but worth it sometimes.
