Pack 1 Pick 1: Optimistic Scavenger
Floodfarm Verge
3 These offer great fixing, as they will usually be untapped by the mid to late game.

Duskmourn's Domination
2 Mind Controls are usually pretty insane, but they really made sure this one wouldn't be. You can look at this as a 6-mana removal spell that gives you a barely relevant piece of material -- like a 1/4 with no abilities, or something like that.

Untimely Malfunction
2 While all three modes on this are pretty situational, when they are useful, they have a big impact on the game.

Broodspinner
4 This is great when you play it on two, and the ability is a game-winner in the late game.

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.

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.

Hand That Feeds
2.5 This will be a two mana 4/2 with Menace often enough that it's a nice two drop.

Horrid Vigor
2.5 This wins a creature virtually any combat and blanks virtually any removal spell -- that's exactly what you want in a trick.

Unsettling Twins
4 This is a great common. You pay 4 mana for two 2/2s, and the second 2/2 has massive upside.

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.

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.

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.

Resurrected Cultist
1.5 A 4/1's not great, and being able to bring it back once doesn't really make up for that.

Pack 1 Pick 2: Optimistic Scavenger
Gremlin Tamer
4 This is a great eerie trigger. Even getting it once is a big deal, and this turns into an insane engine if it isn't killed.

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.

Diversion Specialist
3.5 A 4-mana 4/3 with Menace is pretty solid, and this sacrifice trigger is great when you have fodder.

Turn Inside Out
2.5 This is a solid trick because it's going to let your creature kill your opponent's in most cases, and getting a 2/2 if your creature dies means you come out ahead.

Fear of Surveillance
2.5 This is a solid two drop, and the Enchantment type gives it an extra bump.

Anthropede
1.5 These are below-rate stats, and while blowing up a room has value -- the cost is pretty real here, and you certainly won't always have a target anyway.

Appendage Amalgam
2 This is pretty bad at first glance, but it can trigger eerie at instant speed and help you get delirium both with it's own body and Surveil.

Found Footage
1.5 This helps load your graveyard, but it's other effect is more irrelevant than you'd expect.

Meat Locker
3 Meat Locker has an effect that impacts the board, and Drowned Diner lets you dig deeper in your deck later in the game. I'm pretty happy with both of those things.

Glassworks
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.
