Break Down the Door
2.5 There are enough artifacts and enchantments in this set for this to be main deck material, especially because even when you don't have a target you can get a 2/2.

Pack 1 Pick 5: Growing Dread
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.

Spineseeker Centipede
3.5 A three mana 2/1 without the delirium effect here would probably be a 3.0, since grabbing a land is such good value -- a 2-for-1 is pretty easy to produce! So, the fact that this gains a relevant body later in the game is pretty awesome.

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.

Silent Hallcreeper
4.5 All of these triggers are really good. Generally, you're probably going to go for the card first to make sure you get a 2-for-1, then you'll get the counters, then you'll transform it into your best creature. That's pretty insane for two mana.

4 This gives you a stupid amount of value for only one mana, and it's a must-kill one-drop since it's ability to augment creatures is so easy to get going. It's very easy to run like 10+ Enchantments in this format and go whild.

Live or Die
3 The modality here is important, because getting only one of these options wouldn't be great. Reanimating a creature at instant speed can generate blowouts when the situation is right, and you can just cast it as an inefficient removal spell when you have to.

Attack-in-the-Box

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.

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.

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.
