Pack 1 Pick 1: Darkstar Augur
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.

Brambleguard Captain
2 This stat-line is rough, but it offers a pretty solid buff every turn and can trigger valiant.

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.

Starforged Sword
1.5 The first equip being free is going to be worth a fish a decent chunk of the time, especially if you trigger valiant. It's super clunky after that though, and handing your opponent a chump blocker when you want to make a creature big is definitely a downside.

Jolly Gerbils
3 Many of the gift cards in the set are solid cards when you don't gift, and you have to think about whether or not giving your opponent something is worth the extra effect you're going to get. Jolly Gerbils makes that equation a lot simpler -- you should just always gift, because you're going to come out ahead and get a more powerful version of the card.

Sonar Strike
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.

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.

Agate-Blade Assassin

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.

Playful Shove
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.

Heaped Harvest
1.5 This just feels out of place in this format. Ramping and multicolored stuff aren't a big theme here, and while you can sac this to Forage for value, it doesn't look good to me.

Flamecache Gecko
3 This can enable some really nice early starts, where you have a one drop and two two-drops in play on turn two. It has diminishing returns later in the game, but at a minimum you can use it's ability with the mana it produces.

Barkform Harvester
1.5 It's not hard to get enough creatures with the right type in this format, and this is pretty bad at hating on the graveyard, so there's not much of a reason to run this unless your draft went really wrong.

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.

Diresight
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.

Corpseberry Cultivator
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 Drawing a card and making a food is always a passable effect, and when the other two modes are good, they tend to be really good.

Ravine Raider
3 This is a pretty scary one drop. It can get in for lots of damage early, allowing aggro decks to trigger their payoffs for doing damage, and because you can pump it, it really stays relevant all game long.

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.
Pack 3 Pick 1: Zoraline, Cosmos Caller
Zoraline, Cosmos Caller
5 You usually want to wait until you get to 5 mana so that you start out with a 2-for-1, and then Zoraline threatens to keep reanimating things and gaining life on subsequent turns too.

Plumecreed Escort
4 A two mana 2/1 with Flash and Flying is a playable card, and this can often generate a 2-for-1 by blanking a removal spell.

Valley Rally
1.5 Mass pump like this is good in the right deck, and it's nice that this can be more of a combat trick sometimes.

Hazardroot Herbalist
2.5 You need to be giving tokens +1/+0 and deathtouch for this to really shrine, but the baseline isn't too bad either.

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.

Mind Spiral
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.

Starlit Soothsayer
2 This has almost-passable stats and a mediocre life gain trigger. You can play it, but you're never going to be happy about it.

Early Winter
1.5 This is the removal spell you use when you're really desperate. It's just too expensive to ever be efficient, even with two modes.

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

Barkform Harvester
1.5 It's not hard to get enough creatures with the right type in this format, and this is pretty bad at hating on the graveyard, so there's not much of a reason to run this unless your draft went really wrong.

Moonrise Cleric
2.5 This is a nice enabler for Black/White decks, and the baseline is fine.

Run Away Together
2 When you can use this to bounce something your opponent doesn't want bounced and bounce something of yours you do want to bounce it feels really good, but it doesn't always line up that way.

Lilysplash Mentor
3 This has solid stats and is a good way to rebuy ETBs in the late game.

Pack 3 Pick 2: Salvation Swan
Salvation Swan
4.5 This can do so many different super powerful things. You can flash it in to help a creature dodge removal, and then give it flying. You can also flash it in to ambush block something while making your best creature a flyer, and the fail case is still a nice flyer that brings something else into the air with it.

Hunter's Talent
4 This is Rabid Bite with insane upside. It's probably Green's best Uncommon, and maybe the best Uncommon in the set.

Wildfire Howl
0.5 This is more of a sideboard card than anything. You can't really play this unless you're a Red deck that doesn't get hurt that badly by it, and that doesn't seem like a common occurence.

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.

Nettle Guard
2 This has decent stats that can get a little better if you target it with something, and it gives you some maindeck hate against artifacts and enchantments, too.

Skyskipper Duo
2 A 5-mana 3/3 Flyer isn't very good, but if you have ETBs to abuse, it could be worse.

Psychic Whorl
1.5 This is Mind Rot with minimal upside, so not usually something you want to run. It can generate a 2-for-1 early, but because you don't add to the board when you do it the impact is pretty small, and in the late game it does even less.

Longstalk Brawl
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.

Ravine Raider
3 This is a pretty scary one drop. It can get in for lots of damage early, allowing aggro decks to trigger their payoffs for doing damage, and because you can pump it, it really stays relevant all game long.

Sazacap's Brew
2 Thrill of Possibility tends to be passable in sets with a spell deck, and this has the added upside of a trick that can trigger Valiant.

Nightwhorl Hermit
2 A three mana 1/4 with Vigilance isn't very good, but in the late game this becomes unblockable and hits harder.
