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.

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.

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.

Three Tree City
0 You need four creatures with the same type in play for this to net you mana, and even in this format that's way too big of an ask. This just isn't for Limited.

2.5 Being unable to block is pretty brutal, but it's a fairly aggressive flyer that can bring a friend along, and when you can start triggering those life gain payoffs your opponent will be under some legitimate pressure.

Shore Up
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.

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.

War Squeak
2 If you're a really aggressive Red/White or Red/black deck, you'll use this. The buff is real, triggers valiant, and shutting off a block can lead to lots of damage out of nowhere.

Overprotect
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

3 This is pretty good whether you Offspring or not, since it adds a solid body to the board while temporarily removing something. It's a great ETB to abuse in Blue-Green, too.

2 This is definitely at it's best in Blue-Green or Blue-Red. Blue-Green because you're more likely to have ETBs and Blue-Red because it's a spell that replaces itself. But, it's passable in the other Blue decks too.
