Pack 1 Pick 1: Dreamdew Entrancer
Dreamdew Entrancer
4.5 This gives you a nice body while effectively removing a creature. And if that effect is underwhelming in a given situation, stunning your own thing is pretty intriguing. Especially if you have ways to blink or bounce the stunned creature.

Brightblade Stoat

Bushy Bodyguard
3 You want to Offspring this and Forage at least once, and that's pretty doable. If you do it once, you spend 4 for a 2/1 and a 3/3, and sometimes you can do it twice, which is even more efficient.

Nocturnal Hunger
3 This is an efficient removal spell. You should almost never give your opponent the food, unless you're in a desperate spot where you can't afford to pay the life.

Bumbleflower's Sharepot
1 Paying 2 mana for a Food is pretty awful, and paying 7 total mana to remove a nonland permanent isn't good either.

Tempest Angler
2 This has a bad baseline, and you really need two counters before it ever feels like it was worthwhile, and in the time it takes you to get there, you're in trouble.

Curious Forager
3 This is pretty bad when you can't get something back with it, but you can get that 2-for-1 often enough for it to be pretty good overall.

Stormcatch Mentor
2.5 A two mana 1/1 with Prowess is pretty bad, and while Haste and a cost reduction effect are nice, this doesn't do quite enough to overcome the bad baseline to be a really exciting signpost uncommon.

Calamitous Tide
1 This doesn't do enough for how much it costs. Bouncing can only give you tempo, and in an era of lots of ETBs it may not even give you that.

High Stride
1.5 This is a mediocre trick. It might be cheap, but it's better on defense and that's a really dangerous situation to be in with a trick, since your opponent is more likely to have mana up during combat on their turn.

4 This is a great way to accelerate your mana, and if you drop it on two and play a 4-drop on three, this'll get it's first counter, and it's likely to grow from there.

Brambleguard Veteran
4 Even if it's only giving itself +1/+1 and vigilance, it'll feel good -- but oftentimes it'll buff some other creatures too.

Driftgloom Coyote
4 Banisher Priest-like creatures are always great, and this one is extra beefy -- and gets beefier if you exile a low power creature. Adding to the board while removing something of your opponent's is simply one of the strongest things you can do.

4 This is a great removal spell with real 2-for-1 potential, and if you can trigger valiant or Prowess at the same time it will feel particularly absurd.

2.5 This'll feel pretty efficient when you have a nice target, especially if you're gaining life. However, even if this can hit attacking, blocking, and tapped creatures, it's inability to get a creature out of the way before it blocks, and the fact it can't deal with things with more than 4 toughness make it too restrictive to be great.

2 So, if you take all the parts together here – you pay 4 mana for 3 life and two 1/1s that scry 1. That’s not horrendous to begin with, and you can pay it for it in installments.

Scales of Shale
1 // 3.0 This isn't going to be a good trick if you're usually paying 3 for it, but if you're black/red and can pay one Black for it consistent, it's a super potent combat trick. One that can blank removal and win virtually any combat.

Pack 2 Pick 2: Darkstar Augur
Starfall Invocation
5 This is a sweeper that reanimates your best creature that got destroyed. That's insane, even if you do have to give your opponent a card to make it happen.

Darkstar Augur
5 You almost always want to go with the Offspring here. 4 mana for a 2/3 flyer and a 1/1 flyer that draw you a bunch of cards is great! You do need to make sure you don't have a high curve and/or some ways to gain life, but the fact you get these two bodies that draw you cards means even one removal spell isn't going to prevent you from outcarding your opponent.

2.5 You really only want one of these because they don't really add to the board and are kind of clunky, but that first one is pretty nice. If you give your opponent a fish, you can also stun their best creature, increasing your chances of making it to your next turn to take advantage of all those cards.

2 This can put up to three cards in the graveyard while drawing you a couple cards and you lose some life, so it checks some boxes for various synergies in black, but it's still a card that doesn't add to the board and you can't have too many of those.

3 This is a great trick that blanks removal, helps a creature when virtually any combat, and trample over for tons of damage. You can't really ask for more from a trick.

However, even if this can hit attacking, blocking, and tapped creatures, it's inability to get a creature out of the way before it blocks, and the fact it can't deal with things with more than 4 toughness make it too restrictive to be great.

Veteran Guardmouse
3 This Valiant trigger makes the Guardmouse pretty impossible to block just because the threat of activation is always there.

5 If you're behind, you can make a token copy of your best creature and then bounce everything else. If you're at parity or ahead, you can make two token copies of your best creature and then draw a card. Either way, you're very likely to win the game.

2.5 Prey Upon isn't always good enough, so it's nice that you can give your opponent a Fish in situations where you need a little something extra.

Head of the Homestead
3.5 5-mana for a 3/2 and two 1/1s would be pretty good in any format, but this one has tons of payoffs for Rabbits and tokens and going wide more broadly, so this is going to punch above its weightclass.

Daring Waverider
4 This is usually going to be a 6-mana 4/4 that kills something on ETB. Obviously it takes some set up to get there, but all you have to do is have cast a removal spell at some point in the game, so it's not that much set up.

Sinister Monolith
2.5 This is a bit expensive for something that doesn't exactly add to the board, but you do get the first life drain trigger the turn you play it, and it can quickly snowball from there. Being able to cash it in for cards is no small thing, either.

Nocturnal Hunger
3 This is an efficient removal spell. You should almost never give your opponent the food, unless you're in a desperate spot where you can't afford to pay the life.

2.5 If you pick off an X/1 with this it feels great, but it's also a sneaky way to trigger Valiant, and it replaces itself so it works nicely in spell decks too.

2 This can put up to three cards in the graveyard while drawing you a couple cards and you lose some life, so it checks some boxes for various synergies in black, but it's still a card that doesn't add to the board and you can't have too many of those.

2 This card's value comes from growing even when something else forages, because foraging just for a single +1/+1 counter isn't great.

2.5 A two mana 1/1 with Prowess is pretty bad, and while Haste and a cost reduction effect are nice, this doesn't do quite enough to overcome the bad baseline to be a really exciting signpost uncommon.

While you do remove something, you give your opponent something back so it's not quite a 1-for-1. However, it has an alternate mode and exile is pretty nice removal.
