Pack 1 Pick 1: Annie Flash, the Veteran
Annie Flash, the Veteran
5 You can flash here in to ambush block, reanimate a small thing, untap and draw two cards. That's right, she is a very attainable 4-for-1, and things can get even more out of control from there

Rise of the Varmints
1 // 4.0 This looks like a legit win condition for Black/Green decks, but pretty mediocre for everyone else.

Rambling Possum
3 The saddle is really easy here, but don't put too much value into the bounce part of the card.

Emergent Haunting
3 I don't love that this does nothing on it's own, but turning into a 3/3 Flyer looks very doable. Heck, just playing in on two and passing on turn three with all your mana up sounds like a good call in many situations anyway.

Nezumi Linkbreaker
3 One mana for two 1/1s is a good deal, even when you don't get them at the same time. It makes this good sacrifice fodder too.

Vengeful Townsfolk
2.5 This is more efficient than most creatures with this ability that we've seen. A 3-mana 3/3 really won't feel terrible, like the two-mana 1/1s and 4-mana 3/3s we usually see.

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.

3 Plot means getting multiple bodies into play in a turn is easier than normal in this format, and even when you aren't doing that this is a nice way to spend excess mana.

Irascible Wolverine
3 This is a great ETB trigger. Plot allows you to take full advantage, but even without Plot this can help you hit a land drop in the early stages of the game, and if you draw it late you can just cast it right away because you'll be able to use the card either way.

Repulse
3 Drawing and bouncing for three mana at instant speed is a very good rate. You end up with tempo and you break even on cards, but it has blowout potential too.

Pack 1 Pick 3: Aven Interrupter
Aven Interrupter
3.5 Delaying a spell and charging a tax while adding a relevant flyer to the board is pretty good. Sometimes your opponent might manage to kill it before their next turn and they don't get the tax in the end, but you still delayed their spell. Happens to hate on Plot in general, too.

2.5 A two mana 2/2 Lifelink is a card you pretty much always play, so it's nice that this can commit a crime or load your graveyard too.

Rodeo Pyromancers
2.5 In a format with Plot, this looks pretty good. It helps you have the mana to plot things, and casting something with Plot for free on your next turn and netting two red mana is sweet too. You won't always be able to use it, but I think you'll be able to often enough.

Slickshot Vault-Buster

3 This is going to overperform because it counts itself. This means buffing it with a mercenary allows it to attack, as do buffs from counters and equipment.

Trash the Town
3 This is kind of a medium trick if you only use the first mode, but gaining access to the other two in the mid-game is pretty amazing, and it's the kind of card that can really swing a game in your favor between running over an opposing creature and drawing cards.

2 Killing things that have already been damaged is surprisingly hard to take advantage of. They pushed this pretty hard with all these keywords, so I think it'll be better than most similar creatures we have seen. But it's still nothing special.

At Knifepoint
2 I don't like that this doesn't do anything on it's own in many cases, nor do I like that it's effect largely only matters on your turn. It can definitely churn out some tokens, but I'm skeptical paying three mana for a do-nothing enchantment to set that up is worth it.

3 It's a 5-drop so you don't want a bunch of them, but 5-mana for 4/5 worth of stats, 3/4 of which has Flying, is a really good deal. You probably don't want more than one of these, though.

Make Your Own Luck
2.5 This doesn't effect the board initially, but in theory Make Your Own Luck should give you a huge turn on your next turn.

Most of the time you will draw two real cards with it and get one for free, but you're sort of spinning the roulette wheel every time you cast it, and I don't love that.

2 I don't like that this doesn't do anything on it's own in many cases, nor do I like that it's effect largely only matters on your turn. It can definitely churn out some tokens, but I'm skeptical paying three mana for a do-nothing enchantment to set that up is worth it.

It's definitely a small effect, but it replacing itself and having a real effect seems doable.

Make Your Own Luck
2.5 This doesn't effect the board initially, but in theory Make Your Own Luck should give you a huge turn on your next turn. At the same time, spending your turn 5 doing this might mean you're dead before you ever get there, and if you don't reveal at least two spells in your top three, this doesn't feel like it will do enough to make up for it's problems. Most of the time you will draw two real cards with it and get one for free, but you're sort of spinning the roulette wheel every time you cast it, and I don't love that.
