Pack 1 Pick 1: Goblin Rabblemaster
Goblin Rabblemaster
4 Getting a free Goblin token every turn is pretty incredible, and usually means the Rabblemaster can attack on many board states. Forcing the other Goblins to attack does decrease just how useful they can be -- but you can use them as sacrifice fodder or back them up with combat tricks to really punish your opponent.

Boon Satyr
4 Flashing this with Bestow is the way to generate the most value, as it will let that creature kill almost anything and the buff sticks around. And even if the creature you put this on also dies, the Satyr sticks around.

Labyrinth Champion
2 The stat-line is bad, but Shocking something every time you trigger Heroic is pretty nice.

Archway Angel
1.5 // 4 This was a pretty legit buildaround last time we saw it. Gate decks really want this card, since they often have slow starts because they are playing so many colors and so many tap lands, the Angel helps even things out on turn 5, and often pulls you ahead. If you don't have lots of gates though, she's pretty bad.

Coordinated Assault
3 This can generate 2-for-1s incredibly efficiently, and it gets even better in a heroic format.

Wild Slash
3.5 Shock is always great in Limited, and this is Shock with upside. Killing 3 or 4 mana creatures with this can swing a game wildly in your favor.

Gnarlback Rhino
3.5 This has a nice baseline, and while it doesn't technically have "Heroic" it works the same way. Combat tricks and fight spells are the Rhino's best friend, and there's enough of that in the format for this to be pretty amazing.

Nimbus Naiad
2 Wind Drake isn't that exciting, but it's sort of passable, and in the late game putting this on just about any creature makes it a major threat.

Give
1.5 Three mana for three counters is kind of alright, but 6 mana to draw three at sorcery speed is really bad. Sure, it has an even higher ceiling -- but you're not going to get there. Subtracting from your board to draw cards is just a really bad idea.

Clear Shot
4 This is always an excellent Uncommon. It's very easy to destroy creatures with on most board states, and sometimes you even get a 2-for-1.

Mentor of the Meek
1.5 // 3.5 In a deck with enough ways to trigger this, it turns into quite the engine. Although, you'd be surprised how often you just don't have the spare mana to pay for it.

Thunderclap Wyvern
3.5 This can Flash in and buff a few creatures, and just adding a 2/3 to the board out of nowhere means it can ambush block 2/2s pretty effectively.

Makindi Sliderunner
2 A two mana 2/1 trample is bad -- and a two mana 3/2 trample isn't insane either. This makes you jump through hoops to get there.

Ingenious Skaab
3 2/3s with Prowess tend to feel pretty good, as the high toughness that can go even higher makes them tough to block, and the Skaab is a pretty nice threat even when you can't trigger Prowess, because your opponent has to respect it.

Nivix Cyclops
2 This will be able to rumble as a 4/4 a decent chunk of the time in Blue-Red, but you're only getting a slightly above-rate deal when that's the case.

Knightly Valor
2.5 This effectively adds 4/4 worth of Vigilance stats to the board, and 2/2 of it basically has Haste. Adding that body to the board really helps offset the downside Auras usually have.

Akroan Crusader
2 This is a solid Heroic trigger, but the ones that make a creature better in combat are the truly backbreaking ones.

Void Shatter
1.5 This is cancel with some fairly minor upside – so minor that it isn’t a meaningful upgrade over Cancel. It costing three and being fairly mana intensive makes it a lot harder for you to find the time to leave it up.

Pack 1 Pick 3: Witch's Mark
Sylvan Primordial
3.5 This can always hit a land, and will often have an Enchantment to hit by the time it comes down, and this is certainly a big body.

Quicken
1.5 It replace itself so that it's not a complete dud, but you just don't have this and a Sorcery worth giving Flash to in your hand often enough for it to be very good.

Rimrock Knight
3.5 This was surprisignly great last time we saw it. The buff doesn't always let your creature survive combat, but even just chipping in for extra damage and then adding a 3/1 to the board is a pretty good deal.

Bloodfire Enforcers
2 If you have a nice mix of instants and sorceries this can be decent -- it becomes very difficult to block or attack into in combat. But it still dies to super cheap removal, and it frequently won't have these two keywords.

Pack 1 Pick 4: Fall of the Hammer
Aqueous Form
1.5 Even in a format with an Aura/Heroic theme, I'm skeptical of this being worth a card in most cases. You open yourself up to a very real risk of a 2-for-1, and the payoff is pretty medium.

4 This at Common is pretty amazing! It gives you amazing fixing, especially if you're in a gate deck -- and it's almost always going to generate a 2-for-1.

Hero of Iroas
3.5 The baseline here is nice, and the format has enough ways to target him -- including Auras -- that the upside is very accessible.

Fall of the Hammer
3.5 Getting this effect at instant speed for two mana has always played well. Sure, you need a creature -- and you have to be careful not to play it when your opponent can interact, but because it's an instant finding that window isn't too hard.

1.5 Individually, each side of this is pretty bad. Together, they can potentiall wreck your opponent's board, but only if you have a sizable enough creature. Overall, it feels too situational.

Pack 1 Pick 5: Essence Scatter
Shambling Vent
3.5 A 2/3 with lifelink is usually capable of doing something -- like chumping and gaining you life at least -- and in the mean time this provides great fixing.

Shipbreaker Kraken
2 A 6-mana 6/6 is a reasonable top-curve creature -- and if this ever goest Monstrous you probably win the game, as it's probably smashing in for 10 all on it's own. Problem is, getting to 8 mana doesn't happen that often in Limited.

Ghor-Clan Rampager
3.5 The "Bloodrush" here is the more potent part of the card, as that buff helps basically any creature win any combat. The creature does have to be attacking though, and if you're behind on board and you can't attack, you can just play this out as a decent creature.

Commune with the Gods
1.5 This can load your graveyard while giving you some card selection, but you need to be a graveyard deck and/or enchantment deck for this to get there, and that's not going to happen often enough. Most of the time it's better to play a two mana 2/2.

0 This kind of card is almost never going to do something good. Sure, maybe you make your opponent discard some cards they wanted to hold on to, but that upside is negated by the fact that you are the one who used the card -- and it's just as likely that they draw into what they were looking for.

Stab Wound
3.5 This can outright kill something small, but it's almost better when you put it on a creature that doesn't die. Turning a 4/4 into a 2/2 is usually enough to take away it's relevance, and Stab Wound can bleed your opponent out surprisingly quickly.

Gust of Wind
2.5 Paying two for this feels pretty incredible, as it replaces itself and gives you some nice tempo. Paying 4 makes it a little harder to feel good about the tempo, but that's a passable card too.

4 Two mana to kill any creature or planeswalker is an incredible deal. This will be extra good when the Planeswalker bonus sheet is around.

Skyrider Elf
2.5 This is a two mana 2/2 Flyer at worst, and with Gates in the format it isn't impossible for it to be a 4-mana 4/4 flyer or a 5-mana 5/5 flyer.

Swift Reckoning
2.5 It's efficient, but when it doesn't have Flash it's pretty bad -- since it means that your opponent will force you to deal with an attack before you kill their thing.

Limits of Solidarity
2.5 Threaten effects like this aren't always good, but they can be amazing -- like if you can find lethal thanks to it, or sacrifice the creature you steal. Cycling means you can throw it away during the first case, and still have access to the big upside when you need it.

Heart-Piercer Manticore
1.5 This underperformed pretty hard last time we saw it. It's because it has some awkward tension. If you have a creature that is big enough to kill something big of your opponent's well...you probably don't want to sacrifice it. And sacrificing something that is fodder is likely to result in a very minimal effect.

1.5 This can load your graveyard while giving you some card selection, but you need to be a graveyard deck and/or enchantment deck for this to get there, and that's not going to happen often enough. Most of the time it's better to play a two mana 2/2.

4 This is a 4-mana 2/1 that makes a 2/1 token all on it's own, and it'll often spit out an Elemental army. It can be answered by a single removal spell, though.
