Stubborn Burrowfiend
2.5 This'll definitely get big sometimes, but I don't love how conditional the buff is. It's going to be at it's best in a B/G deck, but I'm also not sure how much they want to be saddling.

Metamorphic Blast
2.5 This "Frogify" type effect usually isn't very good, so it's a good thing you can also draw with it. When you get to remove a creature and draw two, it will feel pretty awesome.

3 This isn't very good early, but in the late game it can stabilize you out of nowhere or make so many tokens that you can overwhelm your opponent.

Shackle Slinger
3 It's nice that this commits crimes for no additional mana, and stunning and tapping things has some pretty real value, especially if you're curving out, which the Slinger really likes.

Lavaspur Boots
1 This buff looks tempting, but if it's anything like other cheap haste-granting Equipment, it isn't going to be worth a card.

Prickly Pair
3.5 Three mana 2/2s that make 1/1s always perform well in Limited, and these tokens both come with an "Outlaw" creature type.

Hardbristle Bandit
3 I wouldn't count on getting a benefit out of untapping this with regularity, but doing it once per game isn't a stretch, and a two mana 1/1 that taps for mana of any color is always playable anyway.

Sterling Keykeeper
2 These "Master Decoy"-type creatures have been a lot worse as of late, and I don't really see that changing here. This does have passable stats and an ability that is good sometimes, though.

Spring Splasher
2 Pretty nice on turn two, as there isn't much that can block it in the early game. It isn't terrible in the mid to late game either, as it can really improve an attack for you.

Abraded Bluffs
3 They provide awesome fixing, give you extra value in the form of a ping, commit crimes, and there's even deserts-matter cards in the set. These might just be better than the rare cycle in the format.

Discerning Peddler

Map the Frontier

This Town Ain't Big Enough
2 The best way to use this is to bounce your thing and an opponent's thing, and if you do that in response to removal or something that seems nice. However, it won't always line up that way, and the other options with the card aren't very attractive.

2 It's nice that this can go after Plotted cards. When you do that it will almost feel like Time Walk. It still has the downside of most discard spells of course -- it doesn't impact the board and has dimnishing returns the later games get, but it's efficient enough to be solid.
