Pack 1 Pick 1: Authority of the Consuls
Authority of the Consuls
0 This is pretty much only good on turn one, and even then there's no guarantee that it does anything to help you win a game. The effects it gives you are too small and not always relevant.

Nessian Hornbeetle
3.5 Growing at combat is big, and this creature can very quickly become a threat.

Perforating Artist
2.5 This has mediocre stats and while the Raid trigger can be pretty good if you can get it going multiple times, I'm skeptical you'll be able to.

Aetherize
1.5 It's temping to imagine bouncing an entire alpha strike, but that won't happen very often. Can feel good in response to combat tricks, but if that's not the case, you're going down a card and your opponent isn't.

Grow from the Ashes
2 It can be tough to play a card that doesn't add to the board, but this can fix and ramp really effecitvely, and can be particularly good with landfall.

Dazzling Angel
3 This is a solid stat-line and the incidental life gain is going to feel good in go-wide and lifegain decks in the format.

Mocking Sprite
2 Last time we saw this, the stat-line really held it back. This format has fewer incidental ways to kill it, but I'm still skeptical of it being able to stick around.

4 A two mana 3/1 with lifelink is something you play 100% of the time, and this has an insane kicker mode in the late game.

Boltwave
1 This might just be a 0, but there are enough spell payoffs in the format that I'm cutting it a little bit of slack. The main problem is that a spell that only does direct damage doesn't impact the board at all -- sometimes casting it feels like mulliganing.

1 This isn't worth a card. All it does is block, and it doesn't do it all that well, since it just absorbs damage and can't trade for anything.

Uncharted Voyage
3 These 4-mana "Time Ebb" effects always tend to perform well. They give you good 1-for-1 removal that can even be disruptive, and adding Surveil to the mix is nice.

Elfsworn Giant

Tatyova, Benthic Druid
4 Her Landfall trigger wins games, and while she's a bit slow and has a bad stat-line, the life she gains you helps make up for that -- and makes it more likely you'll cast those new cards you draw, too.

Reassembling Skeleton
1.5 // 3.0 This isn't great if you're just planning on bringing it back to chump with it, but if you have something meaningful to do with the body -- or you're good at milling -- it can be a nice card.

Cackling Prowler
2.5 A 4-mana 4/3 with Ward 2 is pretty decent, as the Ward heps offset some of the problems of that stat-line, and it gives it more time to grow.

Imprisoned in the Moon

Pack 3 Pick 1: Sun-Blessed Healer
Elenda, Saint of Dusk
4 This is immune to a bunch of removal in the set and has a great stat-line. Don't count on it being huge all that often, but it might get the first buff sometimes.

Quakestrider Ceratops
2.5 This is a huge vanilla creature -- so huge that I think it's actually going to make the cut in most Green decks, even if it doesn't do anything other than attack or block.

Slumbering Cerberus
2 This is an early enabler for the Red/Green deck, and it can definitely swing hard for the cost -- but it also dies to pretty much everything.

Exsanguinate

Macabre Waltz
2.5 Giving up a land late to get two good creatures back from the yard is a good way to win those games, although this is pretty bad when you get it early.

4 A two mana 3/1 with lifelink is something you play 100% of the time, and this has an insane kicker mode in the late game.

Pack 3 Pick 2: Nine-Lives Familiar
Nine-Lives Familiar
3 This gives you 9 1/1 bodies for three mana -- and can be particularly attractive for sacrificing or triggering Raid.

Boltwave
1 This might just be a 0, but there are enough spell payoffs in the format that I'm cutting it a little bit of slack. The main problem is that a spell that only does direct damage doesn't impact the board at all -- sometimes casting it feels like mulliganing.

Dreadwing Scavenger
4 This is a very strong signpost Uncommon. Looting on entering and attack is super powerful, and it's likely to get you to threshold even on it's own.

Apothecary Stomper
2.5 This is pretty solid for the cost. The counters will augment your board in a pretty big way, and even as a 4/4 the stomper isn't really a creature that can be ignored.

Rite of the Dragoncaller
0 / 4 Most decks can't use this -- spending 6 mana to not impact the board is really bad, so you had better untap and cast a spell or two. And your deck needs lots of spells to make that happen. It is super strong in the right deck.

Grappling Kraken
3 It's expensive, but it has a very strong landfall trigger. Once it's in play, each land you draw becomes a removal spell -- so you don't really care if you flood out.

2 Last time we saw this, the stat-line really held it back. This format has fewer incidental ways to kill it, but I'm still skeptical of it being able to stick around.
