Pack 1 Pick 1: Toby, Beastie Befriender
Toby, Beastie Befriender
4 Three mana for a 1/1 and a 4/4 is a big deal, even if the 4/4 has a downside. And you'll even get four or more creature tokens in play in this format from time to time.

Beastie Beatdown
3.5 Even without Delirium you'd play this, and when you do have it, this lets your creatures punch up in a big way, and they can usually attack too!

Unwilling Vessel

Patched Plaything
3 A 2/1 with double strike for 3 is pretty solid, and it also has synergy with all the "2 power or less" cards in the set and the reanimation in the set, since you can get it back as a 4/3 double striker when you bring it back.

Killer's Mask
3.5 This is a three mana 2/2 Menace with massive upside because of Manifest Dread, and because a Menace equipment is a decent thing to have around.

Piranha Fly
1.5 This isn't so efficient that it should be entering the battlefield tapped. That's just rough in an era where you often need to trade your two drop -- you have to wait a whole turn to do it with this.

Final Vengeance

Turn Inside Out

Nowhere to Run
4 Two mana for -3/-3 at instant speed is already great, but this also triggers Eerie and is good sacrifice fodder. Sometimes the ward/hexproof upside will matter too.

Pack 1 Pick 3: Threats Around Every Corner
Disturbing Mirth
3 Red/Black has enough ways to sacrifice Enchantments that this is going to generate serious value. They're great in multiples, too.

Lionheart Glimmer
3 The stat-line underwhelms, but this attack trigger is a pretty big deal, since it triggers on any attack not just when the Glimmer rumbles.

Acrobatic Cheerleader
2.5 If you play this on two when you're on the play, there's a good chance it will get flying. And, there are plenty of ways to get it flying even in the late game. It's a quality two drop.

Unable to Scream
1 This style of removal is always bad, no mattter how efficient it looks. This is because you don't actually trade 1-for-1, since they hold on to their creature and can still do stuff with it -- like block.

Fear of Impostors
2 I don't love the idea of giving my opponent a Manifest when I counter their spell, but you do add this to the board in the process, so it's not a 2-for-1, at least. Although it can definitely backfire.

The Mindskinner
1.5 It's temping to look at this and think "I'm going to kill my opponent in three swings and they can't block it!" but there are some significant problems here. The first of these is the mana -- it's going to be very difficult to actually run this out on turn three, and turn four or five is even a challenge in Limited. Triple Blue is tough. It also only has 1 toughness so it dies to literally everything, and then even once you do get it in play it effectively doesn't impact the board for several turns -- and you may even give your opponent delirium or a reanimation target on accident. I think it will defniitely win some games, but it's going to lose you the game pretty often too.

Pack 3 Pick 1: Screaming Nemesis
Screaming Nemesis
4 This is really tough to take down in a way that doesn't put your opponent way behind, as doing damage to it in any way will let you kill something in most cases.

1.5 Even if you always got all three of these effects, they are narrow enough that this card wouldn't be insane, so jumping through hoops to get them all doesn't seem worth it to me.

Savior of the Small
2 Not only do you need to trigger survival, you need a small creature in your graveyard for this ability to do something -- and the stats are below-rate. Triggering it once will be good, but I'm skeptical about that being easy.

Trial of Agony
2.5 You're never going to kill the creature you most want to kill with this, but paying one mana to kill your opponent's second best creature is still worth it. And sometimes making two things unable to block is going to win you the game.

Growing Dread
3.5 Two mana for a 2/2 with flash and additional upside is great, and when you choose to manifest creatures this gives you a big bonus.

Cryptid Inspector

Ragged Playmate
2 This is a sub-par stat-line and it has a mediocre activated ability, but it's a two drop with two types, so it's more playable than it looks.

Fear of the Dark
3 This will frequently have Menace and Deathtouch. It won't quite always have them -- Glimmers are around, including at lower rarities -- but it has them often enough to be a nice 5-drop, especially in decks that care about Enchantments.

Vanish from Sight
2.5 This effect for 4 mana is always solid removal. It's never insane, but it trades 1-for-1 and as an instant has 2-for-1 potential. The surveil is nice added value.

Grand Entryway
3 I think this is sneaky good. On rate alone it doesn't sound great, but it can trigger Eerie three times -- and on the cheap, and both sides of the room impact the board.

1.0 // 3.5 I don't love that the Loung doesn't impact the board at all, but Misty Salon can really allow you to win the game with a bunch of doors in play. Problem is, I don't think every blue-red deck can pull that off, so it needs a build around grade.

2 Three mana to draw 2 and lose 2 life is decently playable, and this one triggers eerie. Widow's Walk isn't great, but it's upside on a decent card.

Stalked Researcher
1.5 Two-mana 3/3s with defender that lose defender when something happens don't perform well, over all. Combat tricks are too good and creatures are too efficient these days for a defensive creature to be worthwhile.

Fear of Lost Teeth
3 This gives you a lot for one mana. It's got a solid baseline and it's great sacrifice fodder and gets you halfway to delirium all on it's own.

4 Three mana to do 4 to something is perfectly solid, and this comes with Enchantment and door upside, plus just unlocking Shattered Yard late is pretty great.
