Pack 1 Pick 1: Suspension Field
Polluted Delta image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these fetch lands are higher picks than they normally are.
Sandsteppe Citadel image 3.5 These tri-lands are fairly high picks, as you're going to find yourself running three colors in virtually every deck since doing so gives you access to powerhouses like the Charms. These make that much easier on your mana base.
Suspension Field image 3.5 This is a very efficient way to deal with many creatures in the format, though it is a bit of a bummer it can't deal with face-down Morphs.
Dragon's Eye Savants image 1.5 Seeing your opponent's hand just isn't much of an effect, and neither a three mana 2/2 nor a two mana 0/6 is something you're excited about.
Hooting Mandrills image 3 Like most Delve cards you can't run too many of them, but the first few are pretty powerful in Sultai decks. Casting this for one or two is a common occurrence.
Thornwood Falls image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
Singing Bell Strike image 2 In the early game it can feel pretty good, especially alongside Prowess, but later in the game it's pretty close to being a blank card. So, you better win fast if you're playing this.
Rakshasa's Secret image 1.5 This is better than most Mind Rots, mostly because most Black decks are pretty happy to also put three cards into their graveyard.
Erase image 0.5 This isn't an Enchantment-heavy set, so this is sideboard material. You won't bring it in very often either.
Arrow Storm image 2.5 This is a Lava Axe that can actually hit creatures, which makes for a pretty solid card, even at five mana. It's a bit worse than the axe if you're not Raiding, but it is pretty doable to get that going in Red.
Naturalize image 0.5 Not enough targets for this. Bring it in out of the sideboard.
Jungle Hollow image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
Abzan Banner image 1.5 These are really clunky, and even with the slower games this format has (compared to modern Limited), they aren't something you always run.
Savage Punch image 4 When you have Ferocious online this feels truly absurd. It becomes a super efficient removal spell that also lets you crack in for extra damage. It lines up that way with regularity, too.
Pack 1 Pick 2: Sandsteppe Citadel
Sandsteppe Citadel image 3.5 These tri-lands are fairly high picks, as you're going to find yourself running three colors in virtually every deck since doing so gives you access to powerhouses like the Charms. These make that much easier on your mana base.
Winterflame image 3 You're usually going to be choosing both, and tapping something and killing a small creature for three is a good deal.
Secret Plans image 1.5 // 4.0 This Morph buildaround is actually better than the Rare one! Making your morphs 2/3s actually matters, since it means they will outlcass opposing morphs, and drawing cards every time you turn something face up is a huge deal.
Barrage of Boulders image 2.5 This is surprisingly solid card that you always want one of in Blue-Red and Red-Green decks, where you tend to have a ton of power on the board and casting this is very capable of ending the game. Both decks will usually get Ferocious going without trying very hard.
Dragonscale Boon image 1.5 This is an incredibly weak boost for the cost, even if the tokens are permanent and your creature untaps.
Rugged Highlands image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
Ainok Bond-Kin image 3 Like the other Outlast lords, this one gives you a decent baseline and is a great place to sink your mana.
Act of Treason image 1.0 // 2.5 As usual, not really worth it unless you've got some sacrifice outlets to get rid of the creature you steal.
Whirlwind Adept image 2.5 Hexproof can make this card into a nightmare for your opponent, especially if you find ways to buff it -- like Auras or +1/+1 counters. It also has the 4 power that Ferocious decks want.
Dismal Backwater image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
Feed the Clan image 0.5 If you're in a Sultai deck that wants to make the game go long, Feed the Clan can definitely be a sideboard option against really aggressive decks.
Rakshasa's Secret image 1.5 This is better than most Mind Rots, mostly because most Black decks are pretty happy to also put three cards into their graveyard.
Bloodfire Expert image 2.5 The base stats are rough, but it slots nicely into both Blue-Red and Red-Green. In the former because of Prowess, in the latter because it often has 4 power.
Pack 1 Pick 3: Blossoming Sands
Despise image 1.5 This is decent disruption, but it has the usual downside this type of card has: it doesn't do much when you draw it late.
Take Up Arms image 2 This isn't the best rate for getting three 1/1 tokens, even at Instant speed. Buf if you need to go wide, it can do the job.
Sultai Charm image 4 The removal mode is the one that's useful the most option, but having a way to deal with problem enchantments or dig deeper into your deck in a pinch is nice too.
Feed the Clan image 0.5 If you're in a Sultai deck that wants to make the game go long, Feed the Clan can definitely be a sideboard option against really aggressive decks.
Bloodfire Expert image 2.5 The base stats are rough, but it slots nicely into both Blue-Red and Red-Green. In the former because of Prowess, in the latter because it often has 4 power.
Scout the Borders image 2 If you need to load your graveyard in Green -- and you often do -- this does the job.
Dragonscale Boon image 1.5 This is an incredibly weak boost for the cost, even if the tokens are permanent and your creature untaps.
Blossoming Sands image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
Sage-Eye Harrier image 1.5 This has mediocre stats no matter how you play it.
Highland Game image 1.5 This is a very mediocre stat-line, and it has mediocre upside stapled to it.
Temur Banner image 1.5 These are really clunky, and even with the slower games this format has (compared to modern Limited), they aren't something you always run.
Embodiment of Spring image 2 If you need fixing this does a pretty good job.
Pack 1 Pick 4: Ainok Bond-Kin
Dazzling Ramparts image 1.5 This isn't a terrible defensive card, but it isn't something you're really hoping to get either. It can block, but it can't kill things, and while the tap effect is nice it is also kind of awkward on a creature you want to block with.
Briber's Purse image 1.5 This does trigger prowess, making it a little better than it looks at first. Shutting down a blocker or attacker for a turn has it's uses, but sometimes it isn't really worth a card.
Death Frenzy image 1.5 Black/Green is about high toughness, so the idea here is that your opponent will get hurt by this more than you do -- and this format DOES have lots of X/2s because of Morph. But…still, this is highly situational even in Black/Green decks.
Jeskai Banner image 1.5 These are really clunky, and even with the slower games this format has (compared to modern Limited), they aren't something you always run.
Sage-Eye Harrier image 1.5 This has mediocre stats no matter how you play it.
Feed the Clan image 0.5 If you're in a Sultai deck that wants to make the game go long, Feed the Clan can definitely be a sideboard option against really aggressive decks.
Ainok Bond-Kin image 3 Like the other Outlast lords, this one gives you a decent baseline and is a great place to sink your mana.
Smoke Teller image 2 This has passable stats and the ability isn't entirely useless either, although you should only start using it once you have nothing else to do with your mana.
Kheru Dreadmaw image 1 This has bad stats, especially for a Defender, and the ability is underwhelming.
Temur Banner image 1.5 These are really clunky, and even with the slower games this format has (compared to modern Limited), they aren't something you always run.
Thornwood Falls image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
Pack 1 Pick 5: Bellowing Saddlebrute
Bellowing Saddlebrute image 2.5 This is an impressive stat-line in this set, and the warrior creature line carries some weight too. Triggering Raid is very doable.
Jeskai Elder image 2.5 Like most Prowess creatures in the set, this is better than it looks. It's tough to block because you can buff it so much at instant speed, and you get a pretty nice trigger when it hits the opponent, so that's some pretty great tension in your favor.
Ponyback Brigade image 4 This is a very strong Common. Playing it face up feels pretty good. Turning it face up after playing it face down feels good too. Four bodies out of one card is just a really big deal.
Sidisi's Pet image 2 This is a nice defensive creature thanks to the stat-line and lifelink, and morph can allow you to get some surprise life gain out of nowhere. It also happens to have 4 toughness, something several cards in the set key on.
Ainok Tracker image 2 While this is certainly inefficient, it is also incredibly punishing if your opponent chooses to block it with a creature with three or less toughness.
Shambling Attendants image 2.5 A 3/5 death touch is a really frustrating body for your opponent to contend with, and you can get this down for 3 or 4 mana reasonably often.
Firehoof Cavalry image 1 This is irrelevant on almost all board states. It's too small early and the ability is too expensive and risky late.
Salt Road Patrol image 2 This has an almost passable starting stat-line, and it's ability to grow can make it ito an impressive creature if the game goes long enough.
Molting Snakeskin image 1 This Aura doesn't offer enough of a boost to really be worth the risk of getting 2-for-1'd. Regenaration helps with that a little bit, but three mana is a ton to have to leave up.
Smoke Teller image 2 This has passable stats and the ability isn't entirely useless either, although you should only start using it once you have nothing else to do with your mana.
Pack 1 Pick 6: Tuskguard Captain
Tuskguard Captain image 3.5 A great Outlast lord, like the others this can impact the board right away and even when it can't it's a creature that can very efficiently increase it's own size.
Winterflame image 3 You're usually going to be choosing both, and tapping something and killing a small creature for three is a good deal.
Kheru Bloodsucker image 2 This is a decent high toughness pay-off, but it's bad stat-line and expensive activated ability keep it from being anything ultra impressive.
Taigam's Scheming image 0 Loading the graveyard is important in Blue, but not so important that you want to play Taigam's Scheming. It makes you go down a card and you don't get anything back for it. There are better ways to load your graveyard.
Salt Road Patrol image 2 This has an almost passable starting stat-line, and it's ability to grow can make it ito an impressive creature if the game goes long enough.
Jungle Hollow image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
Highland Game image 1.5 This is a very mediocre stat-line, and it has mediocre upside stapled to it.
Swiftwater Cliffs image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
Act of Treason image 1.0 // 2.5 As usual, not really worth it unless you've got some sacrifice outlets to get rid of the creature you steal.
Pack 1 Pick 7: Scoured Barrens
Erase image 0.5 This isn't an Enchantment-heavy set, so this is sideboard material. You won't bring it in very often either.
Rugged Highlands image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
Thornwood Falls image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
Sultai Scavenger image 3 This ends up being an efficient flyer fairly often in your typical Black decks in the format.
Weave Fate image 2 This is worth it in Prowess decks. That's a little less true in the other Blue decks, though.
Scoured Barrens image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
Dragonscale Boon image 1.5 This is an incredibly weak boost for the cost, even if the tokens are permanent and your creature untaps.
Monastery Flock image 2 This is incredibly cheap to Morph, so playing it face down as a 2/2 when that's more useful is nice upside to have on your mediocre Defender.
Pack 1 Pick 8: Mardu Hateblade
Quiet Contemplation image 0 This doesn't do enough to be a worthwhile payoff for Prowess decks.
Monastery Flock image 2 This is incredibly cheap to Morph, so playing it face down as a 2/2 when that's more useful is nice upside to have on your mediocre Defender.
Sagu Archer image 2 This can block most of the Flyers in this format, and sometimes it can do it out of nowhere.
Mardu Hateblade image 2.5 You need to be playing Black for this to do it's thing, but if you can we're talking about a cheap creature that can trade with anything.
Rotting Mastodon image 1.5 High toughness matters in Black in this format, so this makes the cut on occasion.
Tormenting Voice image 2 This is nice in Prowess decks, and passable elsewhere.
Swift Kick image 2.5 Your creature already needs high enough toughness for this to work effectively, otherwise you can get 2-for-1'd. But the power boost does mean a wider swath of creatures can use this effectively. It isn't quite premium though, too situational.
Pack 1 Pick 9: Jungle Hollow
Hooting Mandrills image 3 Like most Delve cards you can't run too many of them, but the first few are pretty powerful in Sultai decks. Casting this for one or two is a common occurrence.
Singing Bell Strike image 2 In the early game it can feel pretty good, especially alongside Prowess, but later in the game it's pretty close to being a blank card. So, you better win fast if you're playing this.
Erase image 0.5 This isn't an Enchantment-heavy set, so this is sideboard material. You won't bring it in very often either.
Naturalize image 0.5 Not enough targets for this. Bring it in out of the sideboard.
Jungle Hollow image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
Abzan Banner image 1.5 These are really clunky, and even with the slower games this format has (compared to modern Limited), they aren't something you always run.
Pack 1 Pick 10: Dragonscale Boon
Dragonscale Boon image 1.5 This is an incredibly weak boost for the cost, even if the tokens are permanent and your creature untaps.
Act of Treason image 1.0 // 2.5 As usual, not really worth it unless you've got some sacrifice outlets to get rid of the creature you steal.
Whirlwind Adept image 2.5 Hexproof can make this card into a nightmare for your opponent, especially if you find ways to buff it -- like Auras or +1/+1 counters. It also has the 4 power that Ferocious decks want.
Feed the Clan image 0.5 If you're in a Sultai deck that wants to make the game go long, Feed the Clan can definitely be a sideboard option against really aggressive decks.
Bloodfire Expert image 2.5 The base stats are rough, but it slots nicely into both Blue-Red and Red-Green. In the former because of Prowess, in the latter because it often has 4 power.
Pack 1 Pick 11: Highland Game
Take Up Arms image 2 This isn't the best rate for getting three 1/1 tokens, even at Instant speed. Buf if you need to go wide, it can do the job.
Feed the Clan image 0.5 If you're in a Sultai deck that wants to make the game go long, Feed the Clan can definitely be a sideboard option against really aggressive decks.
Highland Game image 1.5 This is a very mediocre stat-line, and it has mediocre upside stapled to it.
Embodiment of Spring image 2 If you need fixing this does a pretty good job.
Pack 1 Pick 12: Kheru Dreadmaw
Feed the Clan image 0.5 If you're in a Sultai deck that wants to make the game go long, Feed the Clan can definitely be a sideboard option against really aggressive decks.
Kheru Dreadmaw image 1 This has bad stats, especially for a Defender, and the ability is underwhelming.
Temur Banner image 1.5 These are really clunky, and even with the slower games this format has (compared to modern Limited), they aren't something you always run.
Pack 1 Pick 13: Firehoof Cavalry
Ainok Tracker image 2 While this is certainly inefficient, it is also incredibly punishing if your opponent chooses to block it with a creature with three or less toughness.
Firehoof Cavalry image 1 This is irrelevant on almost all board states. It's too small early and the ability is too expensive and risky late.
Pack 1 Pick 14: Highland Game
Highland Game image 1.5 This is a very mediocre stat-line, and it has mediocre upside stapled to it.
Pack 2 Pick 1: Abzan Falconer
Jeering Instigator image 3 Turning this face up and stealing something makes for a big turn, as it feels like you played a Haste creature with Threaten stapled to it, and that tends to be a powerful thing. You don't even need a sacrifice outlet to make this card work, because it actually adds to the board beyond the turn you get the effect.
Abzan Falconer image 3.5 If you're in White, there's a good chance this will give one or two of your creatures Flying right away, and it becomes a pretty impressive flying threat on its own if it's left unchecked.
Quiet Contemplation image 0 This doesn't do enough to be a worthwhile payoff for Prowess decks.
Winterflame image 3 You're usually going to be choosing both, and tapping something and killing a small creature for three is a good deal.
Jeskai Banner image 1.5 These are really clunky, and even with the slower games this format has (compared to modern Limited), they aren't something you always run.
Thornwood Falls image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
Ainok Bond-Kin image 3 Like the other Outlast lords, this one gives you a decent baseline and is a great place to sink your mana.
Debilitating Injury image 3 This kills a wide swath of creatures in the format, including face-down morphs.
Dragonscale Boon image 1.5 This is an incredibly weak boost for the cost, even if the tokens are permanent and your creature untaps.
Disdainful Stroke image 0.5 This is worse in this format than in most because of Morph. You'll have even less targets than usual. Leave it in your sideboard.
Bring Low image 2 This is pretty rough when the creature doesn't have a counter. When it does it becomes premium removal, but you have to account for the times where it is a 4-mana deal 3, because those feel rough and that's what it does the most often.
Swiftwater Cliffs image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
Kheru Dreadmaw image 1 This has bad stats, especially for a Defender, and the ability is underwhelming.
Rugged Highlands image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
Pack 2 Pick 2: Rakshasa's Secret
Sultai Soothsayer image 4 This adds a very relevant body to the board while generating a 2-for-1 that loads your graveyard. That's exactly what Sultai decks want to be doing in this format.
Icefeather Aven image 4 This is a Flying Morph Man-O-War, and you can also just drop it on turn two if you need an efficient flyer. Either way, it feels pretty good when you use this card.
Master the Way image 1.5 This has a really high ceiling, where you get an easy 2-for-1. But the floor is awful. If you're in a grindy Jeskai deck, it can be worth playing. Not so much otherwise.
Archers' Parapet image 2.5 This is a good defensive creature that can even function as a win condition in slower decks.
Defiant Strike image 1.0 // 2.5 This is pretty awful if you don't have a bunch of Prowess in your deck. However, getting lots of Prowess is very doable, so you'll find yourself in decks where this works nicely often enough.
Weave Fate image 2 This is worth it in Prowess decks. That's a little less true in the other Blue decks, though.
War Behemoth image 1.5 This is really inefficient no matter how you play it.
Barrage of Boulders image 2.5 This is surprisingly solid card that you always want one of in Blue-Red and Red-Green decks, where you tend to have a ton of power on the board and casting this is very capable of ending the game. Both decks will usually get Ferocious going without trying very hard.
Rush of Battle image 1 There are definitely Warriors in this set, and giving them all a reasonable buff and lifelink can sometimes help you win a race, but this demands you be good at going wide and running enough Warriors to really be worthwhile, and those things are far from guaranteed.
Rakshasa's Secret image 1.5 This is better than most Mind Rots, mostly because most Black decks are pretty happy to also put three cards into their graveyard.
Bring Low image 2 This is pretty rough when the creature doesn't have a counter. When it does it becomes premium removal, but you have to account for the times where it is a 4-mana deal 3, because those feel rough and that's what it does the most often.
Bloodfell Caves image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
Leaping Master image 2 This is a passable two drop. Giving it flying is expensive, but it does keep it relevant in most games.
Pack 2 Pick 3: Kill Shot
Mardu Roughrider image 2.5 The stats are fine, and Mardu decks are very interested in getting the best blocker out of the way.
Windstorm image 0.5 This should be in your sideboard, and it isn't like there are that many opponents going wide with flyers, so you won't bring it in often either.
Singing Bell Strike image 2 In the early game it can feel pretty good, especially alongside Prowess, but later in the game it's pretty close to being a blank card. So, you better win fast if you're playing this.
Tusked Colossodon image 1.5 If you need a big top-curve creature well…you're hoping it isn't this. But running it isn't a disaster.
Mardu Hateblade image 2.5 You need to be playing Black for this to do it's thing, but if you can we're talking about a cheap creature that can trade with anything.
Weave Fate image 2 This is worth it in Prowess decks. That's a little less true in the other Blue decks, though.
Glacial Stalker image 2 This is better than it looks. Neither side is efficient, but once your Morph creatures get this beefy, there's a lot that can go wrong for your opponent in combat.
Snowhorn Rider image 3 Like most Morphs with size, turning this face up can wreck combat or make your opponent take more damage than they expected out of nowhere.
Kill Shot image 2.5 It is far from premium, but Kill Shot does the job often enough to be a worthwhile inclusion in most White decks.
Kheru Dreadmaw image 1 This has bad stats, especially for a Defender, and the ability is underwhelming.
Sagu Archer image 2 This can block most of the Flyers in this format, and sometimes it can do it out of nowhere.
Shatter image 0.5 Not enough artifacts to main deck this.
Pack 2 Pick 4: Woolly Loxodon
Swarm of Bloodflies image 2 The start stat-line is absolutely horrendous, but it can gain enough counters to be a threat.
Set Adrift image 3 It isn't very hard to make this a lot cheaper with Delve, and making your removal cheap always feels great.
Mardu Warshrieker image 3 This feels really nice when it lets you double spell, and pretty bad when you can't, since you just played a Hill Giant. Because of Morph, though, you're able to do something with the mana more often than in most formats.
Trumpet Blast image 1.0 // 2.5 Some Mardu decks can go really wide, and having one of these in that type of deck is a good idea.
Canyon Lurkers image 1.5 This can get a big hit in out of nowhere, but the low toughness means that morphing this isn't going to feel like a great deal most of the time, because it always has two toughness.
Temur Banner image 1.5 These are really clunky, and even with the slower games this format has (compared to modern Limited), they aren't something you always run.
Weave Fate image 2 This is worth it in Prowess decks. That's a little less true in the other Blue decks, though.
Woolly Loxodon image 2.5 This massive Morpher can create all kinds of problems when you turn it sideways, either threatening to do a ton of damage out of nowhere, or completely annihilate anything that blocks it.
Scaldkin image 2 This is expensive for the stat-line, and the activated ability isn't cheap either. But, we're still talking about a Flyer that can turn into removal when you need it to.
Salt Road Patrol image 2 This has an almost passable starting stat-line, and it's ability to grow can make it ito an impressive creature if the game goes long enough.
Bring Low image 2 This is pretty rough when the creature doesn't have a counter. When it does it becomes premium removal, but you have to account for the times where it is a 4-mana deal 3, because those feel rough and that's what it does the most often.
Pack 2 Pick 5: Smite the Monstrous
Dragon's Eye Savants image 1.5 Seeing your opponent's hand just isn't much of an effect, and neither a three mana 2/2 nor a two mana 0/6 is something you're excited about.
Dutiful Return image 2 This is clunky for sure, but as usual having one of this type of effect tends to feel good in the late game. It does get worse if you're planning on delving a lot.
Molting Snakeskin image 1 This Aura doesn't offer enough of a boost to really be worth the risk of getting 2-for-1'd. Regenaration helps with that a little bit, but three mana is a ton to have to leave up.
Longshot Squad image 2.5 I like this less than the other Outlast lords, since it offers a boost that is only useful on defense. Still, it's a creature that can affect the board right away, and it can grow itself when it's body isn't relevant enough.
Sagu Archer image 2 This can block most of the Flyers in this format, and sometimes it can do it out of nowhere.
Smite the Monstrous image 2 You can run it in your deck if you need to, but it doesn't always have a target.
Krumar Bond-Kin image 1.5 This never feels great, but sometimes morphing it can result in hitting your opponent harder than they expect, or even taking down a blocker and surviving.
Disdainful Stroke image 0.5 This is worse in this format than in most because of Morph. You'll have even less targets than usual. Leave it in your sideboard.
Ponyback Brigade image 4 This is a very strong Common. Playing it face up feels pretty good. Turning it face up after playing it face down feels good too. Four bodies out of one card is just a really big deal.
Act of Treason image 1.0 // 2.5 As usual, not really worth it unless you've got some sacrifice outlets to get rid of the creature you steal.
Pack 2 Pick 6: Watcher of the Roost
Venerable Lammasu image 1 This has awful stats.
Watcher of the Roost image 3 This has passable stats and often amounts to being a three mana 2/1 flyer that gains you 2 life, and that's a nice card.
Glacial Stalker image 2 This is better than it looks. Neither side is efficient, but once your Morph creatures get this beefy, there's a lot that can go wrong for your opponent in combat.
Longshot Squad image 2.5 I like this less than the other Outlast lords, since it offers a boost that is only useful on defense. Still, it's a creature that can affect the board right away, and it can grow itself when it's body isn't relevant enough.
Archers' Parapet image 2.5 This is a good defensive creature that can even function as a win condition in slower decks.
Dutiful Return image 2 This is clunky for sure, but as usual having one of this type of effect tends to feel good in the late game. It does get worse if you're planning on delving a lot.
Kin-Tree Warden image 1.5 It's hard for any Morph creature to be unplayable, since they are all Gray Ogres with upside, but this one is very underwhelming.
Trumpet Blast image 1.0 // 2.5 Some Mardu decks can go really wide, and having one of these in that type of deck is a good idea.
Bloodfire Expert image 2.5 The base stats are rough, but it slots nicely into both Blue-Red and Red-Green. In the former because of Prowess, in the latter because it often has 4 power.
Pack 2 Pick 7: Tusked Colossodon
Waterwhirl image 1 This is expensive enough that it's hard or you to get a tempo advantage, and most of the time you go down a card for the effect.
Barrage of Boulders image 2.5 This is surprisingly solid card that you always want one of in Blue-Red and Red-Green decks, where you tend to have a ton of power on the board and casting this is very capable of ending the game. Both decks will usually get Ferocious going without trying very hard.
Cancel image 1.5 As usual, this is a borderline playable.
Leaping Master image 2 This is a passable two drop. Giving it flying is expensive, but it does keep it relevant in most games.
Wetland Sambar image 1.5 These days this would be a 0.0, but back in 2014 passable vanillas are cards you begrudgingly played a lot more often since fewer cards were playable in general.
Shambling Attendants image 2.5 A 3/5 death touch is a really frustrating body for your opponent to contend with, and you can get this down for 3 or 4 mana reasonably often.
Tusked Colossodon image 1.5 If you need a big top-curve creature well…you're hoping it isn't this. But running it isn't a disaster.
Scaldkin image 2 This is expensive for the stat-line, and the activated ability isn't cheap either. But, we're still talking about a Flyer that can turn into removal when you need it to.
Pack 2 Pick 8: Smoke Teller
Seek the Horizon image 1 It's far too difficult to consistently spend six on this and actually get something that is worth that much mana on to the battlefield. It's truly horrendous when you don't have Ferocious online.
Windstorm image 0.5 This should be in your sideboard, and it isn't like there are that many opponents going wide with flyers, so you won't bring it in often either.
Leaping Master image 2 This is a passable two drop. Giving it flying is expensive, but it does keep it relevant in most games.
Disdainful Stroke image 0.5 This is worse in this format than in most because of Morph. You'll have even less targets than usual. Leave it in your sideboard.
Smoke Teller image 2 This has passable stats and the ability isn't entirely useless either, although you should only start using it once you have nothing else to do with your mana.
Jeskai Banner image 1.5 These are really clunky, and even with the slower games this format has (compared to modern Limited), they aren't something you always run.
Erase image 0.5 This isn't an Enchantment-heavy set, so this is sideboard material. You won't bring it in very often either.
Pack 2 Pick 9: Kheru Dreadmaw
Quiet Contemplation image 0 This doesn't do enough to be a worthwhile payoff for Prowess decks.
Winterflame image 3 You're usually going to be choosing both, and tapping something and killing a small creature for three is a good deal.
Jeskai Banner image 1.5 These are really clunky, and even with the slower games this format has (compared to modern Limited), they aren't something you always run.
Disdainful Stroke image 0.5 This is worse in this format than in most because of Morph. You'll have even less targets than usual. Leave it in your sideboard.
Bring Low image 2 This is pretty rough when the creature doesn't have a counter. When it does it becomes premium removal, but you have to account for the times where it is a 4-mana deal 3, because those feel rough and that's what it does the most often.
Kheru Dreadmaw image 1 This has bad stats, especially for a Defender, and the ability is underwhelming.
Pack 2 Pick 10: War Behemoth
Defiant Strike image 1.0 // 2.5 This is pretty awful if you don't have a bunch of Prowess in your deck. However, getting lots of Prowess is very doable, so you'll find yourself in decks where this works nicely often enough.
Weave Fate image 2 This is worth it in Prowess decks. That's a little less true in the other Blue decks, though.
War Behemoth image 1.5 This is really inefficient no matter how you play it.
Rush of Battle image 1 There are definitely Warriors in this set, and giving them all a reasonable buff and lifelink can sometimes help you win a race, but this demands you be good at going wide and running enough Warriors to really be worthwhile, and those things are far from guaranteed.
Leaping Master image 2 This is a passable two drop. Giving it flying is expensive, but it does keep it relevant in most games.
Pack 2 Pick 11: Kheru Dreadmaw
Singing Bell Strike image 2 In the early game it can feel pretty good, especially alongside Prowess, but later in the game it's pretty close to being a blank card. So, you better win fast if you're playing this.
Glacial Stalker image 2 This is better than it looks. Neither side is efficient, but once your Morph creatures get this beefy, there's a lot that can go wrong for your opponent in combat.
Kheru Dreadmaw image 1 This has bad stats, especially for a Defender, and the ability is underwhelming.
Shatter image 0.5 Not enough artifacts to main deck this.
Pack 2 Pick 12: Mardu Warshrieker
Mardu Warshrieker image 3 This feels really nice when it lets you double spell, and pretty bad when you can't, since you just played a Hill Giant. Because of Morph, though, you're able to do something with the mana more often than in most formats.
Canyon Lurkers image 1.5 This can get a big hit in out of nowhere, but the low toughness means that morphing this isn't going to feel like a great deal most of the time, because it always has two toughness.
Scaldkin image 2 This is expensive for the stat-line, and the activated ability isn't cheap either. But, we're still talking about a Flyer that can turn into removal when you need it to.
Pack 2 Pick 13: Molting Snakeskin
Molting Snakeskin image 1 This Aura doesn't offer enough of a boost to really be worth the risk of getting 2-for-1'd. Regenaration helps with that a little bit, but three mana is a ton to have to leave up.
Disdainful Stroke image 0.5 This is worse in this format than in most because of Morph. You'll have even less targets than usual. Leave it in your sideboard.
Pack 2 Pick 14: Glacial Stalker
Glacial Stalker image 2 This is better than it looks. Neither side is efficient, but once your Morph creatures get this beefy, there's a lot that can go wrong for your opponent in combat.
Pack 3 Pick 1: Scoured Barrens
Temur Ascendancy image 2.5 Haste Enchantments are always underwhelming, as are Enchantments that draw you a card when a 4 power creature enters. This does both making it at least serviceable.
Goblinslide image 1.0 // 3.5 This is a very powerful build around. Jeskai decks already want to run lots of spells, and tacking a Goblin on to those is huge. You can't really play it without a critical mass of spells, though.
Tomb of the Spirit Dragon image 0 Gaining a bit of life off of your morph creatures isn't worth diluting your mana base, especially in a format where you really want to have good mana for three-color decks.
Temur Charm image 4 The first two modes carry most of the weight here, as it can be an efficient fight spell or a counterspell. The third mode comes up rarely, but when it's good, it tends to be really good.
Disdainful Stroke image 0.5 This is worse in this format than in most because of Morph. You'll have even less targets than usual. Leave it in your sideboard.
Feed the Clan image 0.5 If you're in a Sultai deck that wants to make the game go long, Feed the Clan can definitely be a sideboard option against really aggressive decks.
Scoured Barrens image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
Ponyback Brigade image 4 This is a very strong Common. Playing it face up feels pretty good. Turning it face up after playing it face down feels good too. Four bodies out of one card is just a really big deal.
Salt Road Patrol image 2 This has an almost passable starting stat-line, and it's ability to grow can make it ito an impressive creature if the game goes long enough.
Act of Treason image 1.0 // 2.5 As usual, not really worth it unless you've got some sacrifice outlets to get rid of the creature you steal.
Rakshasa's Secret image 1.5 This is better than most Mind Rots, mostly because most Black decks are pretty happy to also put three cards into their graveyard.
Dragonscale Boon image 1.5 This is an incredibly weak boost for the cost, even if the tokens are permanent and your creature untaps.
Sidisi's Pet image 2 This is a nice defensive creature thanks to the stat-line and lifelink, and morph can allow you to get some surprise life gain out of nowhere. It also happens to have 4 toughness, something several cards in the set key on.
Blossoming Sands image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
Pack 3 Pick 2: Abzan Falconer
Brave the Sands image 0 This basically does nothing in Limited and you never want to play a card like that. Vigilance + extra block just isn't enough of a buff to be worth a card.
Abzan Falconer image 3.5 If you're in White, there's a good chance this will give one or two of your creatures Flying right away, and it becomes a pretty impressive flying threat on its own if it's left unchecked.
Bellowing Saddlebrute image 2.5 This is an impressive stat-line in this set, and the warrior creature line carries some weight too. Triggering Raid is very doable.
Savage Punch image 4 When you have Ferocious online this feels truly absurd. It becomes a super efficient removal spell that also lets you crack in for extra damage. It lines up that way with regularity, too.
Snowhorn Rider image 3 Like most Morphs with size, turning this face up can wreck combat or make your opponent take more damage than they expected out of nowhere.
Temur Banner image 1.5 These are really clunky, and even with the slower games this format has (compared to modern Limited), they aren't something you always run.
Bloodfire Mentor image 1.5 If you need to make a game go long, you could do worse than this. The body blocks reasonably well and it can dig you deeper in your library to find your outs. It doesn't do any of it efficiently, though.
Jeskai Student image 2.5 This stat-line performs surprisingly well in a set loaded with instant-speed ways to trigger Prowess.
Rotting Mastodon image 1.5 High toughness matters in Black in this format, so this makes the cut on occasion.
Rakshasa's Secret image 1.5 This is better than most Mind Rots, mostly because most Black decks are pretty happy to also put three cards into their graveyard.
Abzan Guide image 3 Big lifelinkers can make life a real headache for your opponent, and this one can show up out of nowhere.
Abzan Banner image 1.5 These are really clunky, and even with the slower games this format has (compared to modern Limited), they aren't something you always run.
Bloodfell Caves image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
Pack 3 Pick 3: Ainok Bond-Kin
Incremental Growth image 2 This offers quite the boost, but it's frustrating that you have to have three creatures to get full value. That's not hard, but there are times where you just can't do it, and that's rough. Not it doesn't say, 'up to' either.
Gurmag Swiftwing image 2 This is a nice place to put counters or other buffs if you have them. It quickly becomes outclassed if you don't, though.
Disowned Ancestor image 2.5 This having high toughness is pretty nice in a format with a toughness-matters archetype, and it's toughness can get high in a hurry.
Ainok Bond-Kin image 3 Like the other Outlast lords, this one gives you a decent baseline and is a great place to sink your mana.
Rakshasa's Secret image 1.5 This is better than most Mind Rots, mostly because most Black decks are pretty happy to also put three cards into their graveyard.
Valley Dasher image 1.5 A two mana 2/2 with Haste is nice, but one that keeps returning to yoru hand? Not so much.
Abzan Banner image 1.5 These are really clunky, and even with the slower games this format has (compared to modern Limited), they aren't something you always run.
Cancel image 1.5 As usual, this is a borderline playable.
Ponyback Brigade image 4 This is a very strong Common. Playing it face up feels pretty good. Turning it face up after playing it face down feels good too. Four bodies out of one card is just a really big deal.
Act of Treason image 1.0 // 2.5 As usual, not really worth it unless you've got some sacrifice outlets to get rid of the creature you steal.
Barrage of Boulders image 2.5 This is surprisingly solid card that you always want one of in Blue-Red and Red-Green decks, where you tend to have a ton of power on the board and casting this is very capable of ending the game. Both decks will usually get Ferocious going without trying very hard.
Dragonscale Boon image 1.5 This is an incredibly weak boost for the cost, even if the tokens are permanent and your creature untaps.
Pack 3 Pick 4: Ainok Bond-Kin
Highspire Mantis image 2 A Flying, Trampling, Hill Giant isn't the best thing ever, but it's serviceable enough.
War-Name Aspirant image 3 A two mana 2/1 that can't be blocked by tokens is passable, and this will often be a 3/2.
Death Frenzy image 1.5 Black/Green is about high toughness, so the idea here is that your opponent will get hurt by this more than you do -- and this format DOES have lots of X/2s because of Morph. But…still, this is highly situational even in Black/Green decks.
Jeskai Banner image 1.5 These are really clunky, and even with the slower games this format has (compared to modern Limited), they aren't something you always run.
Ainok Bond-Kin image 3 Like the other Outlast lords, this one gives you a decent baseline and is a great place to sink your mana.
Krumar Bond-Kin image 1.5 This never feels great, but sometimes morphing it can result in hitting your opponent harder than they expect, or even taking down a blocker and surviving.
Rite of the Serpent image 2 It's expensive, but it answers everything and might even give you a Snake.
Dismal Backwater image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
Unyielding Krumar image 1.5 This is awful if you can't give it Vigilance, and passable if you can.
Dragonscale Boon image 1.5 This is an incredibly weak boost for the cost, even if the tokens are permanent and your creature untaps.
Swift Kick image 2.5 Your creature already needs high enough toughness for this to work effectively, otherwise you can get 2-for-1'd. But the power boost does mean a wider swath of creatures can use this effectively. It isn't quite premium though, too situational.
Pack 3 Pick 5: Mardu Hordechief
Dazzling Ramparts image 1.5 This isn't a terrible defensive card, but it isn't something you're really hoping to get either. It can block, but it can't kill things, and while the tap effect is nice it is also kind of awkward on a creature you want to block with.
Blinding Spray image 1.5 This is better than it looks thanks to the fact that it replaces itself and this format prominently features Prowess, but it's still basically a glorified Fog effect.
Shambling Attendants image 2.5 A 3/5 death touch is a really frustrating body for your opponent to contend with, and you can get this down for 3 or 4 mana reasonably often.
Scaldkin image 2 This is expensive for the stat-line, and the activated ability isn't cheap either. But, we're still talking about a Flyer that can turn into removal when you need it to.
Kheru Dreadmaw image 1 This has bad stats, especially for a Defender, and the ability is underwhelming.
Siegecraft image 0 This offers a mediocre stats boost and doesn't do enough to overcome the massive risk of getting 2-for-1'd.
Jungle Hollow image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
Mardu Hordechief image 3 White decks are set up pretty well for this to be a three mana 2/3 that gives you a 1/1 pretty often, and that's a great deal.
Abomination of Gudul image 2.5 Playing this on turn three and flipping it turn five isn't too shabby. Even playing it face up for full price doesn't feel terrible. It offers a threatening flying body and some nice card selection.
Canyon Lurkers image 1.5 This can get a big hit in out of nowhere, but the low toughness means that morphing this isn't going to feel like a great deal most of the time, because it always has two toughness.
Pack 3 Pick 6: Mardu Skullhunter
Trumpet Blast image 1.0 // 2.5 Some Mardu decks can go really wide, and having one of these in that type of deck is a good idea.
Abzan Banner image 1.5 These are really clunky, and even with the slower games this format has (compared to modern Limited), they aren't something you always run.
Mardu Skullhunter image 3 If you can consistently get your opponent to discard when this enters, it feels great. If you can't, it's kind of a liability. The good news is, it's easy enough to get the discard for this to be a very nice common.
Kin-Tree Warden image 1.5 It's hard for any Morph creature to be unplayable, since they are all Gray Ogres with upside, but this one is very underwhelming.
Summit Prowler image 2 This is surprisingly solid. This stat-line was better back in 2014 and it's a nice enabler for Ferocious.
Erase image 0.5 This isn't an Enchantment-heavy set, so this is sideboard material. You won't bring it in very often either.
Jeskai Student image 2.5 This stat-line performs surprisingly well in a set loaded with instant-speed ways to trigger Prowess.
Crippling Chill image 2.5 This card gets a big bump because of Prowess. Tapping down your opponent's best blocker and buffing two or three creatures while also getting a card feels pretty insane.
Glacial Stalker image 2 This is better than it looks. Neither side is efficient, but once your Morph creatures get this beefy, there's a lot that can go wrong for your opponent in combat.
Pack 3 Pick 7: Woolly Loxodon
Windstorm image 0.5 This should be in your sideboard, and it isn't like there are that many opponents going wide with flyers, so you won't bring it in often either.
Mardu Blazebringer image 1 The idea here is supposed to be that this gives you an early 4-power creature for Red-Green decks, but there are way better options for that around that aren't virtually dead cards.
Lens of Clarity image 0 This is laughably bad. It isn't worth a card or one mana to get these effects.
Woolly Loxodon image 2.5 This massive Morpher can create all kinds of problems when you turn it sideways, either threatening to do a ton of damage out of nowhere, or completely annihilate anything that blocks it.
Trumpet Blast image 1.0 // 2.5 Some Mardu decks can go really wide, and having one of these in that type of deck is a good idea.
Rush of Battle image 1 There are definitely Warriors in this set, and giving them all a reasonable buff and lifelink can sometimes help you win a race, but this demands you be good at going wide and running enough Warriors to really be worthwhile, and those things are far from guaranteed.
Cancel image 1.5 As usual, this is a borderline playable.
Kin-Tree Warden image 1.5 It's hard for any Morph creature to be unplayable, since they are all Gray Ogres with upside, but this one is very underwhelming.
Pack 3 Pick 8: Alabaster Kirin
Dazzling Ramparts image 1.5 This isn't a terrible defensive card, but it isn't something you're really hoping to get either. It can block, but it can't kill things, and while the tap effect is nice it is also kind of awkward on a creature you want to block with.
Alabaster Kirin image 2 This has passable stats for this set, and is a great place to put +1/+1 counters.
Sidisi's Pet image 2 This is a nice defensive creature thanks to the stat-line and lifelink, and morph can allow you to get some surprise life gain out of nowhere. It also happens to have 4 toughness, something several cards in the set key on.
Naturalize image 0.5 Not enough targets for this. Bring it in out of the sideboard.
Bloodfire Mentor image 1.5 If you need to make a game go long, you could do worse than this. The body blocks reasonably well and it can dig you deeper in your library to find your outs. It doesn't do any of it efficiently, though.
Longshot Squad image 2.5 I like this less than the other Outlast lords, since it offers a boost that is only useful on defense. Still, it's a creature that can affect the board right away, and it can grow itself when it's body isn't relevant enough.
Whirlwind Adept image 2.5 Hexproof can make this card into a nightmare for your opponent, especially if you find ways to buff it -- like Auras or +1/+1 counters. It also has the 4 power that Ferocious decks want.
Pack 3 Pick 9: Salt Road Patrol
Tomb of the Spirit Dragon image 0 Gaining a bit of life off of your morph creatures isn't worth diluting your mana base, especially in a format where you really want to have good mana for three-color decks.
Feed the Clan image 0.5 If you're in a Sultai deck that wants to make the game go long, Feed the Clan can definitely be a sideboard option against really aggressive decks.
Salt Road Patrol image 2 This has an almost passable starting stat-line, and it's ability to grow can make it ito an impressive creature if the game goes long enough.
Act of Treason image 1.0 // 2.5 As usual, not really worth it unless you've got some sacrifice outlets to get rid of the creature you steal.
Dragonscale Boon image 1.5 This is an incredibly weak boost for the cost, even if the tokens are permanent and your creature untaps.
Sidisi's Pet image 2 This is a nice defensive creature thanks to the stat-line and lifelink, and morph can allow you to get some surprise life gain out of nowhere. It also happens to have 4 toughness, something several cards in the set key on.
Pack 3 Pick 10: Jeskai Student
Brave the Sands image 0 This basically does nothing in Limited and you never want to play a card like that. Vigilance + extra block just isn't enough of a buff to be worth a card.
Temur Banner image 1.5 These are really clunky, and even with the slower games this format has (compared to modern Limited), they aren't something you always run.
Bloodfire Mentor image 1.5 If you need to make a game go long, you could do worse than this. The body blocks reasonably well and it can dig you deeper in your library to find your outs. It doesn't do any of it efficiently, though.
Jeskai Student image 2.5 This stat-line performs surprisingly well in a set loaded with instant-speed ways to trigger Prowess.
Abzan Banner image 1.5 These are really clunky, and even with the slower games this format has (compared to modern Limited), they aren't something you always run.
Pack 3 Pick 11: Abzan Banner
Gurmag Swiftwing image 2 This is a nice place to put counters or other buffs if you have them. It quickly becomes outclassed if you don't, though.
Abzan Banner image 1.5 These are really clunky, and even with the slower games this format has (compared to modern Limited), they aren't something you always run.
Cancel image 1.5 As usual, this is a borderline playable.
Act of Treason image 1.0 // 2.5 As usual, not really worth it unless you've got some sacrifice outlets to get rid of the creature you steal.
Pack 3 Pick 12: Unyielding Krumar
Jeskai Banner image 1.5 These are really clunky, and even with the slower games this format has (compared to modern Limited), they aren't something you always run.
Unyielding Krumar image 1.5 This is awful if you can't give it Vigilance, and passable if you can.
Dragonscale Boon image 1.5 This is an incredibly weak boost for the cost, even if the tokens are permanent and your creature untaps.
Pack 3 Pick 13: Dazzling Ramparts
Dazzling Ramparts image 1.5 This isn't a terrible defensive card, but it isn't something you're really hoping to get either. It can block, but it can't kill things, and while the tap effect is nice it is also kind of awkward on a creature you want to block with.
Siegecraft image 0 This offers a mediocre stats boost and doesn't do enough to overcome the massive risk of getting 2-for-1'd.
Pack 3 Pick 14: Erase
Erase image 0.5 This isn't an Enchantment-heavy set, so this is sideboard material. You won't bring it in very often either.
