Pack 1 Pick 1: Tyvar, the Pummeler
Tyvar, the Pummeler
5 Tyvar is efficient and super hard to kill provided you have another creature around, and his activated ability turns most boards lethal.

Optimistic Scavenger
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.

Razorkin Hordecaller
3.5 This plays offense and defense pretty well thanks to the token it makes, and it's a pretty good rate overall.

Unwilling Vessel

Possessed Goat

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.

Murder
2.5 The double Black can be surprisingly tough to have when you need it in Limited, but it's still nice removal.

Paranormal Analyst
1.5 // 4.0 This is an insane Manifest Dread build around, as it turns every manifest into a 2/2 that draws you a card - - and there's plenty of manifest.

Pack 1 Pick 2: Sheltered by Ghosts
Central Elevator
0 Neither side adds to the board and costs way too much mana, and your chances of winning the game with Promising Stairs is super low, especially since you're not adding to the board.

Floodpits Drowner
3.5 This is effectively a removal spell with a whole bunch of upside, since if you'd rather not get rid of your opponent's creature, you can hold on to a 2/1 with Vigilance and use it to do some damage while the creature is stunned.

Coordinated Clobbering
4 This would be good in a set without the survival mechanic -- in a set where tapping your creatures can come with extra value, it's pretty insane.

Monstrous Emergence
4 This is a super pushed Green removal spell, since it takes away all the downsides bite/fight cards usually have. For one thing, your opponent can't blow you out. For another, even if you dont' have a big enough creature in play, you probably have one in your hand that can do the job.

Spectral Snatcher
2.5 This is tough to kill without your opponent 2-for-1ing themselves, and the fact you can cycle it away early for a Swamp and reanimate it is pretty great for Black/white decks.

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.

Enduring Tenacity

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.

1.0 // 3.0 You only want this if you're in a really grindy graveyard deck, but it's going to work well in Black/White.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Pack 1 Pick 5: Cult Healer
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.

Commune with Evil
2.5 I'm interested in the first copy of this if I'm in a Delirium deck, as it can get Delirium singlehandedly. Not adding to the board is a bit of a problem, but the life gain helps.

Pack 2 Pick 3: Fear of Exposure
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.
