Pack 1 Pick 1: Timely Hordemate
Polluted Delta image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these fetch lands are higher picks than they normally are.
Opulent Palace 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.
Swarm of Bloodflies image 2 The start stat-line is absolutely horrendous, but it can gain enough counters to be a threat.
Timely Hordemate image 2 This has bad stats and it's Raid is surprisingly challenging to get going. Not only do you need to attack, as with all Raid creatures, but you also need a creature in the graveyard with the right stats. It doesn't line up often enough for this to be anything special.
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.
Jeskai Windscout image 3 This is one of Blue's best Commons. It has passable base stats and Prowess means it's going to be hard to block and hit hard.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 1 Pick 2: Chief of the Scale
Pine Walker image 4 A 5-mana 5/5 is no joke, and the Morph upside here is great, as it grants one-turn Vigilance to your Morphers -- including itself.
Jeskai Charm image 4 This is either a quality removal spell, a mediocre burn spell, or a situationally powerful mass pump effect. Sign me up.
Chief of the Scale image 3 A little worse than Chief of the Edge, but it still offers a real boost and an above-rate body.
Unyielding Krumar image 1.5 This is awful if you can't give it Vigilance, and passable if you can.
Naturalize image 0.5 Not enough targets for this. Bring it in out of the sideboard.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 1 Pick 3: Timely Hordemate
Timely Hordemate image 2 This has bad stats and it's Raid is surprisingly challenging to get going. Not only do you need to attack, as with all Raid creatures, but you also need a creature in the graveyard with the right stats. It doesn't line up often enough for this to be anything special.
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.
Temur Charger image 2.5 A two mana 3/1 is perfectly fine, and the trample upside doesn't hurt. Note it can target itself, that comes up sometimes.
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.
Summit Prowler image 2 This is surprisingly solid. This stat-line was better back in 2014 and it's a nice enabler for Ferocious.
Jungle Hollow image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
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.
Efreet Weaponmaster image 3 The fact this has high power and first strike makes it hard for anything to block this, and it can reall wreck combat when it turns face up between it's own stat-line and the boost it can offer to something else.
Alabaster Kirin image 2 This has passable stats for this set, and is a great place to put +1/+1 counters.
Scout the Borders image 2 If you need to load your graveyard in Green -- and you often do -- this does the job.
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.
Wind-Scarred Crag 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 4: Mardu Hordechief
Abzan Charm image 4 This is either: a good removal spell, a decent combat trick, or a solid card draw spell. All three modes are good at the right time, so having those options is amazing.
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.
Swarm of Bloodflies image 2 The start stat-line is absolutely horrendous, but it can gain enough counters to be a threat.
Treasure Cruise image 3.5 It isn't quite as broken here as it is in 60-card formats, because you can't load your graveyard quite as quickly -- but you definitely can get this to the point where you are paying a tiny amount of mana to draw 3. You want one in most Blue decks, but not more than one.
Naturalize image 0.5 Not enough targets for this. Bring it in out of the sideboard.
Scoured Barrens image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
Tranquil Cove 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.
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.
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.
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 1 Pick 5: Mardu Hordechief
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.
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.
Force Away image 2.5 This is decent without Ferocious, but if you can take the loot on to it you're going to feel really happy.
Swiftwater Cliffs image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
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.
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.
Jeskai Windscout image 3 This is one of Blue's best Commons. It has passable base stats and Prowess means it's going to be hard to block and hit hard.
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.
Mystic of the Hidden Way image 2.5 The low toughness here is pretty brutal because of the amount of mana you spend, but it's also a very real win condition when left unchecked.
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 1 Pick 6: Firehoof Cavalry
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.
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.
Unyielding Krumar image 1.5 This is awful if you can't give it Vigilance, and passable if you can.
War Behemoth image 1.5 This is really inefficient no matter how you play it.
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.
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.
Lens of Clarity image 0 This is laughably bad. It isn't worth a card or one mana to get these effects.
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.
Pack 1 Pick 7: Jeskai Student
Timely Hordemate image 2 This has bad stats and it's Raid is surprisingly challenging to get going. Not only do you need to attack, as with all Raid creatures, but you also need a creature in the graveyard with the right stats. It doesn't line up often enough for this to be anything special.
Jungle Hollow image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
Sultai 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.
Highland Game image 1.5 This is a very mediocre stat-line, and it has mediocre upside stapled to it.
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.
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.
Jeskai Student image 2.5 This stat-line performs surprisingly well in a set loaded with instant-speed ways to trigger Prowess.
Pack 1 Pick 8: Wind-Scarred Crag
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.
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.
Swiftwater Cliffs image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
Wind-Scarred Crag 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.
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.
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 1 Pick 9: Jeskai Windscout
Jeskai Windscout image 3 This is one of Blue's best Commons. It has passable base stats and Prowess means it's going to be hard to block and hit hard.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 1 Pick 10: Ainok Bond-Kin
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.
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.
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.
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.
Kheru Dreadmaw image 1 This has bad stats, especially for a Defender, and the ability is underwhelming.
Pack 1 Pick 11: Wind-Scarred Crag
Summit Prowler image 2 This is surprisingly solid. This stat-line was better back in 2014 and it's a nice enabler for Ferocious.
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.
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.
Wind-Scarred Crag 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 12: Abzan Banner
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.
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.
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 1 Pick 13: Jeskai Windscout
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.
Jeskai Windscout image 3 This is one of Blue's best Commons. It has passable base stats and Prowess means it's going to be hard to block and hit hard.
Pack 1 Pick 14: Salt Road Patrol
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.
Pack 2 Pick 1: Ankle Shanker
Ankle Shanker image 4 Well below-rate stats get this into trouble sometimes, and if you're not in a spot where you can attack, it feels miserable. But the good news is…this makes it so you're almost ALWAYS in a spot where you can attack, since blocking becomes a nightmare for your opponent.
Murderous Cut image 4 This often feels like it only costs a single Black mana, and it would be premium removal if it always cost 4.
Kin-Tree Invocation image 4 There are enough cheap high toughness creatures in the format that the Invocation ends up making a super efficient token with regularity. Getting a turn two 4/4 isn't unheard of, and it scales as the game goes on in most cases.
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.
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.
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.
Scoured Barrens image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
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.
Dragonscale Boon image 1.5 This is an incredibly weak boost for the cost, even if the tokens are permanent and your creature untaps.
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.
War Behemoth image 1.5 This is really inefficient no matter how you play it.
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.
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.
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 2 Pick 2: Debilitating Injury
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.
Armament Corps image 3.5 This can put a counter on itself, so it's often a 5-mana 5/5 that sticks a counter somewhere else, and that's a very nice card. Sometimes you can put a counter on two things that can already attack too.
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.
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.
Leaping Master image 2 This is a passable two drop. Giving it flying is expensive, but it does keep it relevant in most games.
Feat of Resistance image 3 This is a nice trick in any set, as it has the ability to allow your creature to easily win combat and/or save it for removal. It can even make a creature unblockable in a pinch. Then, you throw in Prowess and +1/+1 counter synergies, and we're talking about an awesome Common.
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.
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.
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.
Debilitating Injury image 3 This kills a wide swath of creatures in the format, including face-down morphs.
Swiftwater Cliffs image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
Rugged Highlands image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
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 2 Pick 3: Mardu Skullhunter
Horde Ambusher image 2.5 This has a passable base line, and shutting down a blocker for a turn often allows for a huge turn for Red decks.
Mardu Heart-Piercer image 3 If this was always a 4-mana 2/3 that did two damage on ETB, it would be a 4.0. Unfortunately, it's not always going to get it done, and when it can't it feels pretty bad. Still, you can get it going often enough for it to be a very powerful Common.
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.
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.
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.
Scout the Borders image 2 If you need to load your graveyard in Green -- and you often do -- this does the job.
Leaping Master image 2 This is a passable two drop. Giving it flying is expensive, but it does keep it relevant in most games.
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.
Shatter image 0.5 Not enough artifacts to main deck this.
War Behemoth image 1.5 This is really inefficient no matter how you play it.
Bitter Revelation image 2 This lets you see a ton of cards, and loads your graveyard. It's a bit clunky, but many black decks do well with the first copy.
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.
Pack 2 Pick 4: Ponyback Brigade
Burn Away image 3.5 A 5-mana deal 6 instant is pretty nice. It can kill almost anything and can produce blowouts sometimes. The fact this just nukes the whole graveyard can really matter against decks in the Sultai colors too.
Mardu Heart-Piercer image 3 If this was always a 4-mana 2/3 that did two damage on ETB, it would be a 4.0. Unfortunately, it's not always going to get it done, and when it can't it feels pretty bad. Still, you can get it going often enough for it to be a very powerful Common.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Scoured Barrens image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
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 2 Pick 5: Mardu Hateblade
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.
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.
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.
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.
Leaping Master image 2 This is a passable two drop. Giving it flying is expensive, but it does keep it relevant in most games.
Sultai 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.
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.
Sage-Eye Harrier image 1.5 This has mediocre stats no matter how you play it.
Shatter image 0.5 Not enough artifacts to main deck this.
Pack 2 Pick 6: Throttle
Riverwheel Aerialists image 2.5 This is a decent finisher for Prowess decks. The stat-line was better back in 2014, and it's very rarely only a 4/5 anyway.
Throttle image 2 It's not the most efficient removal in the world, but it answers most creatures in the format at Instant speed.
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.
Jungle Hollow image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
Cancel image 1.5 As usual, this is a borderline playable.
Bloodfell Caves image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
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.
Efreet Weaponmaster image 3 The fact this has high power and first strike makes it hard for anything to block this, and it can reall wreck combat when it turns face up between it's own stat-line and the boost it can offer to something else.
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 2 Pick 7: War-Name Aspirant
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.
Kheru Dreadmaw image 1 This has bad stats, especially for a Defender, and the ability is underwhelming.
Embodiment of Spring image 2 If you need fixing this does a pretty good job.
Sultai 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.
Highland Game image 1.5 This is a very mediocre stat-line, and it has mediocre upside stapled to it.
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.
Sage-Eye Harrier image 1.5 This has mediocre stats no matter how you play it.
Tormenting Voice image 2 This is nice in Prowess decks, and passable elsewhere.
Pack 2 Pick 8: Defiant Strike
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.
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.
Cancel image 1.5 As usual, this is a borderline playable.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Pack 2 Pick 9: Krumar Bond-Kin
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.
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.
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.
War Behemoth image 1.5 This is really inefficient no matter how you play it.
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.
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 2 Pick 10: Leaping Master
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.
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.
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.
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 2 Pick 11: Molting Snakeskin
Leaping Master image 2 This is a passable two drop. Giving it flying is expensive, but it does keep it relevant in most games.
Shatter image 0.5 Not enough artifacts to main deck this.
War Behemoth image 1.5 This is really inefficient no matter how you play it.
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.
Pack 2 Pick 12: Swift Kick
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.
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.
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.
Pack 2 Pick 13: Rotting Mastodon
Rotting Mastodon image 1.5 High toughness matters in Black in this format, so this makes the cut on occasion.
Shatter image 0.5 Not enough artifacts to main deck this.
Pack 2 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.
Pack 3 Pick 1: High Sentinels of Arashin
High Sentinels of Arashin image 4.5 This has great starting stats and will often be much larger, especially because it can hand out +1/+1 counters in the late game.
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.
Frontier Bivouac 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.
Horde Ambusher image 2.5 This has a passable base line, and shutting down a blocker for a turn often allows for a huge turn for Red decks.
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.
Sultai 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.
Treasure Cruise image 3.5 It isn't quite as broken here as it is in 60-card formats, because you can't load your graveyard quite as quickly -- but you definitely can get this to the point where you are paying a tiny amount of mana to draw 3. You want one in most Blue decks, but not more than one.
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.
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.
Dismal Backwater image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
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.
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.
Efreet Weaponmaster image 3 The fact this has high power and first strike makes it hard for anything to block this, and it can reall wreck combat when it turns face up between it's own stat-line and the boost it can offer to something else.
Embodiment of Spring image 2 If you need fixing this does a pretty good job.
Pack 3 Pick 2: Feat of Resistance
Burn Away image 3.5 A 5-mana deal 6 instant is pretty nice. It can kill almost anything and can produce blowouts sometimes. The fact this just nukes the whole graveyard can really matter against decks in the Sultai colors too.
Opulent Palace 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.
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.
Mystic of the Hidden Way image 2.5 The low toughness here is pretty brutal because of the amount of mana you spend, but it's also a very real win condition when left unchecked.
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.
Wind-Scarred Crag image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
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.
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.
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.
Bloodfell Caves image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
Feat of Resistance image 3 This is a nice trick in any set, as it has the ability to allow your creature to easily win combat and/or save it for removal. It can even make a creature unblockable in a pinch. Then, you throw in Prowess and +1/+1 counter synergies, and we're talking about an awesome Common.
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.
Pack 3 Pick 3: Chief of the Scale
Quiet Contemplation image 0 This doesn't do enough to be a worthwhile payoff for Prowess decks.
Chief of the Scale image 3 A little worse than Chief of the Edge, but it still offers a real boost and an above-rate body.
Hordeling Outburst image 4 This is great in all the Red decks, whether you're interested in going wide or casting spells, it does it all, while also just being a great rate for adding three bodies to the board.
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.
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.
Kheru Dreadmaw image 1 This has bad stats, especially for a Defender, and the ability is underwhelming.
Tranquil Cove image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
Mardu 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.
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.
Dismal Backwater image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
Jeskai Windscout image 3 This is one of Blue's best Commons. It has passable base stats and Prowess means it's going to be hard to block and hit hard.
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.
Pack 3 Pick 4: Kill Shot
Armament Corps image 3.5 This can put a counter on itself, so it's often a 5-mana 5/5 that sticks a counter somewhere else, and that's a very nice card. Sometimes you can put a counter on two things that can already attack too.
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.
Rugged Highlands image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
Mardu 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.
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.
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.
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.
Sultai 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.
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.
Highland Game image 1.5 This is a very mediocre stat-line, and it has mediocre upside stapled to it.
Pack 3 Pick 5: Abzan Falconer
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.
Cranial Archive image 1 This is mostly sideboard material for Sultai opponents. It does replace itself and trigger Prowess, though, so it isn't entirely terrible in your main deck.
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.
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.
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.
Blossoming Sands image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
Efreet Weaponmaster image 3 The fact this has high power and first strike makes it hard for anything to block this, and it can reall wreck combat when it turns face up between it's own stat-line and the boost it can offer to something else.
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.
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.
Jeskai Windscout image 3 This is one of Blue's best Commons. It has passable base stats and Prowess means it's going to be hard to block and hit hard.
Pack 3 Pick 6: Wind-Scarred Crag
Venerable Lammasu image 1 This has awful stats.
Naturalize image 0.5 Not enough targets for this. Bring it in out of the sideboard.
Wind-Scarred Crag image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
Tranquil Cove image 3 Fixing is extra important in this wedge-focused set, so these gain lands are higher picks than they normally are.
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.
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.
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.
Leaping Master image 2 This is a passable two drop. Giving it flying is expensive, but it does keep it relevant in most games.
Mardu 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 7: Krumar Bond-Kin
Roar of Challenge image 1.5 As usual, Lure effects are bad in Limited. This one is a little bit better than most, because when you can line it up with Ferocious, it CAN be devastating. But you have to rely on your opponent's board and yours being in the right state.
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.
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.
Rite of the Serpent image 2 It's expensive, but it answers everything and might even give you a Snake.
Sultai Scavenger image 3 This ends up being an efficient flyer fairly often in your typical Black decks in the format.
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.
War Behemoth image 1.5 This is really inefficient no matter how you play it.
Rotting Mastodon image 1.5 High toughness matters in Black in this format, so this makes the cut on occasion.
Pack 3 Pick 8: Brave the Sands
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 3 Pick 9: Ainok Tracker
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.
Sultai 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 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.
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.
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.
Efreet Weaponmaster image 3 The fact this has high power and first strike makes it hard for anything to block this, and it can reall wreck combat when it turns face up between it's own stat-line and the boost it can offer to something else.
Pack 3 Pick 10: Salt Road Patrol
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.
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.
Kheru Dreadmaw image 1 This has bad stats, especially for a Defender, and the ability is underwhelming.
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.
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 11: Firehoof Cavalry
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.
Kheru Dreadmaw image 1 This has bad stats, especially for a Defender, and the ability is underwhelming.
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.
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.
Pack 3 Pick 12: Mardu Banner
Mardu 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.
Sultai 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.
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 13: Shambling Attendants
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.
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.
Pack 3 Pick 14: Siegecraft
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.
