Pro Comment: This card is pretty awkward. The format is littered with cards that do good stuff when they die, or that do things from the graveyard. The idea here is that you’d sacrifice some of those expendable things, but the problem is your opponent is just as likely to have them.

Pro Comment: Adding to the board while taking away from your opponent is a great feeling, and that’s exactly what the Hunter does! It may not permanently remove something, but at a minimum it tends to greatly disrupt your opponent’s game play, and in the situations where they can’t kill it, it often wins you the game.

Pro Comment: Mana dorks are amazing in the early game, as playing your three drops on turn two is very powerful. They get worse in the late game, when they have small irrelevant bodies and you don’t need the mana anymore. Still, the early game upside is enough to make the Pilgrim something you take highly.

Pro Comment: Five mana is a lot for card that doesn’t impact the board immediately – but Gutter Grime kind of does. It suddenly makes it so all of your creatures give you value when they die, and that value can quickly snowball.

Pro Comment: Casting this once in hand and once from your graveyard over two turns can often really turn a game around, as it allows you to attack far more effectively while severely hampering your opponent’s ability to attack effectively. You can of course also cast it from your hand and flash it back all in the same turn, which wins the game on a lot of board states.

Pro Comment: Free sacrifice effects that aren’t limited to once per turn always play incredibly well. Your opponent can’t ever rule out that you’re going to use this ability, and they always have to respect it. There is plenty of sacrifice fodder in the format, too.

Pro Comment: This format has lots of quality spells and lots of ways to load the graveyard, so Snapcaster Mage is going to be able to let you recast your powerful spells from your graveyard with regularity.

Pro Comment: Even with all this additional upside, this is still a fog, and those are rarely worth it in Limited.

Pro Comment: Three mana for a three damage instant is already a high pick – so the Morbid upside here turns this into an absolutely incredible burn spell.

Pro Comment: Being able to buff your whole board on two separate attacks with only one card is pretty powerful! If you have the mana, you can also do it all at once!

Pro Comment: A 4-mana 2/2 that makes a 2/2 and gains you 2 life is a great Limited card. Huntmaster of the Fells is far better than that! Partly because it can transform into the larger Ravager of the Fells while damaging stuff, and partly because when it flips back to the Huntmaster, you get that original trigger all over again!

Pro Comment: This is a nice removal spell that can be particularly good against multiples or tokens. It is also two removal spells in one if the game goes long enough!

Pro Comment: A 5-mana 4/4 Flyer is some serious business, and its nice that this one lets you loot – something that is extra good in a format with Madness, Flashback, and Delirium.

Pro Comment: This is very slow and clunky. You do eventually get a 2-for-1 out of it, but there are better ways to recur instants and sorceries in this format.

Pro Comment: Bouncing stuff doesn’t generally let you trade for a card – instead it just gives you tempo. But this is cheap enough that you can get a pretty good deal, especially because you can bounce something again later in the game.

Pro Comment: This is very powerful when you have a well-stocked graveyard, something that is eminently doable in this format. Cranking out tokens and buffing all of your Zombies makes this a pretty amazing engine.

Pro Comment: Gravedigger for three mana is a nice card, even if you can only get back Zombies and it is entirely random! This delivers a nice 2-for-1 in most Black decks.

Pro Comment: This is a pretty nice payoff for Humans. Paying 3 mana for 4/4 worth of stats feels pretty good, and also makes the Cathar good sacrifice fodder.

Pro Comment: This is powerful because it reanimates efficiently and does it twice, but this format isn’t loaded up with amazing things to reanimate, limiting its effectiveness. If you’re good at milling yourself and you have a few big scary things around it can do some serious work.
