Blazemire Verge
3 These also offer great fixing, and they'll also regularly be untapped.

Fear of Being Hunted
2 This isn't super easy to cast on turn three, when it's probably at it's best. And it isn't like this stat-line is insane to begin with. The Enchantment type does help make this better.

Defiant Survivor
3.5 The stat-line here isn't great, but this is probably the strongest survival trigger on any Common or Uncommon in the set. Triggering it even once is incredible.

Conductive Machete
2.5 This is a 4-mana 4/3 with tons of upside. Hard to be upset with that.

2 When this effect is good, it's really good -- and when it isn't, you can just throw it away. This format doesn't have a spell deck though, and that hurts it's stock some.

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.

Underwater Tunnel
2.5 I don't love that the cheaper side doesn't impact the board, but Slimy Aquarium does -- so it's sort of like you pay 5-mana for a 3/3 with Surveil 2, but you pay in installments. That's not too bad.

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.

2.5 Haste means finding a window where you can get this in and trigger survival is easier, but the below-rate stats are pretty concerning.

2 A two-mana 3/1 is fine, and this can help you get delirium or drop a reanimation target in the graveyard.

Fear of Burning Alive
2.5 // 4.0 If this always does 4 to your opponent and 4 to one of their creature's, it's a bomb. I think you'll get delirium often enough, especially in Red-Green, for it to perform really, really well.

2 4-mana 3/3 Flyers have gotten pretty underwhelming of late, and this card's upside seems a bit too narrow to me.

Boilerbilges Ripper
2 You have to sacrifice something that isn't worth an entire card, or this won't feel worth it. When you can do that, though -- this ETB is pretty strong.

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.

1.5 This is a largely defensive creature that wants you to do damage with it, which just seems...weird. It's not going to get in for a hit very often.

2 This feels pretty mediocre whether you cycle it away or hard cast it, and it even feels mediocre as a reanimation target. But, it's not terrible in any of those spots either.

Moldering Gym
2.5 Weight Room adds to the board, so this looks pretty solid to me. It's kind of like fixing in the early game that's kind of free, since you get a big creature later.

Osseous Sticktwister
4 This has a nice baseline and major upside. The Delirium trigger is legit. While the first one might not hurt your opponent too much, after that, the choices are going to be tough to make.

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.

Seized from Slumber
2 This is a passable removal spell if you're not an aggro deck, but if you're the beat down it's pretty bad since it's either inefficient or incapable of killing blockers.

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.

Derelict Attic
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.

Pack 1 Pick 6: Fear of Lost Teeth
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.

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.

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.
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.
Shrewd Storyteller
3.5 This trigger is great because it can allow you to snowball with Survival creatures, as if they keep growing, they can keep attacking. So, whether you put the counter on the Storyteller or something else, it's going to feel pretty good.
