Pack 1 Pick 1: Trapped in the Screen
Marina Vendrell image 1 This is hard to cast and hard to abuse, so I don't think it even deserves a build around grade.
Norin, Swift Survivalist image 1 Norin's trigger can let you retrigger ETBs, but having to recast the things that get blocked is a pretty big problem. It is a "may" trigger at least.
Cathartic Parting image 2.5 There are enough artifacts and enchantments in this set for this to be main deck material, and shuffling your stuff back into your library can have real value too.
Vile Mutilator image 3 This is great when you reanimate it, and definitely gives you 7 mana worth of value when you have to cast it.
Get Out image 2.5 This can counter almost every spell in the format, and the Enchantment mode is useful on occasion. The double Blue holds it back a bit, though.
Piranha Fly image 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.
Trapped in the Screen image 3.5 This effect hasn't been as good lately, but in a format with Enchantmetn payoffs, I think this'll reclaim some of it's former glory.
Give In to Violence image 2 This is a little bit too expensive for me to be excited about, but it's a trick that does the job in Black aggro decks.
Emerge from the Cocoon image 2 B/W is a reanimator deck in this format, but I think you're hoping you end up with one of the better reanimation spells in the format, and there are at least 4 of them at lower rarities.
Impossible Inferno image 3 5 mana removal generally isn't premium, but if you get Delirium -- which is very doable -- this becomes a 2-for-1 and makes up for the cost.
Stalked Researcher image 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.
Spineseeker Centipede image 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.
Razortrap Gorge image 3 These offer great fixing, as they will usually be untapped by the mid to late game.
Twist Reality image 2 You're overpaying for either of these, but getting the option between them makes this playable.
Pack 1 Pick 2: Kona, Rescue Beastie
Kona, Rescue Beastie image 2 This kind of effect always underperforms. You just don't have permanents in your hand often enough for this to do something meaningful.
Razorkin Hordecaller image 3.5 This plays offense and defense pretty well thanks to the token it makes, and it's a pretty good rate overall.
Inquisitive Glimmer image 3 This has nice stats and an ability that makes it easier to trigger eerie.
Nowhere to Run image 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.
Bedhead Beastie image 2 This is a fairly imposing presence in the late game, though it's nothing to right home about. Mountaincycling makes it a little better.
Monstrous Emergence image 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.
Impossible Inferno image 3 5 mana removal generally isn't premium, but if you get Delirium -- which is very doable -- this becomes a 2-for-1 and makes up for the cost.
Vanish from Sight image 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.
Cryptid Inspector image 3 This isn't very hard to grow, especially in Blue/Green, and having Vigilance makes it both a brick wall and a great attacker.
Fear of Lost Teeth image 3 This gives you a lot for one mana. It's got a solid baseline and it's great sacrifice fodder and gets you halfway to delirium all on it's own.
Most Valuable Slayer image 2.5 This can buff stuff the turn it comes down, and the boost it offers is enough to make your attacks much better.
Island image
Greenhouse image 1 Neither side affects the board, and Greenhouse is almost entirely irrelevant. The Gazebo is an overcosted draw spell.
Pack 1 Pick 3: Trapped in the Screen
Painter's Studio image 2 Neither side really impact the board and that's a pretty big problem. Painter's Studio is basically a red Divination, and the Gallery can augment attacks -- but it's a bit of a win-more card.
Surgical Suite image 2.5 You'll often cast Hospital Room first since it doesn't need as much set up, but that makes this an Enchantment that gives a decent buff and then reanimates something small late.
Skullsnap Nuisance image 3 The stat-line's solid, and you're definitely going to load your graveyard and smooth out your draws with this trigger.
Underwater Tunnel image 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.
Cryptid Inspector image 3 This isn't very hard to grow, especially in Blue/Green, and having Vigilance makes it both a brick wall and a great attacker.
Rampaging Soulrager image 1.5 A three mana 1/4 is bad, and making this into a 4/4 is going to take significant work.
Trapped in the Screen image 3.5 This effect hasn't been as good lately, but in a format with Enchantmetn payoffs, I think this'll reclaim some of it's former glory.
Slavering Branchsnapper image 2 This is a big creature late -- albeit one that doesn't really give you 6 mana's worth of value -- and you can throw it away early for a land, which is necessary sometimes.
Winter's Intervention image 3 Removing a creature -- and sometimes even trading up -- is pretty great when you also gain life.
Fear of Surveillance image 2.5 This is a solid two drop, and the Enchantment type gives it an extra bump.
Swamp image
Fear of Immobility image 2.5 You can use this as a nice tempo play, but you can also tap your own survival creature in a pinch!
Pack 1 Pick 4: Wary Watchdog
Demonic Counsel image 1 You have to get Delirium going for this to ever be worth it, and tutors are always surprisingly underwhelming in Limited.
Norin, Swift Survivalist image 1 Norin's trigger can let you retrigger ETBs, but having to recast the things that get blocked is a pretty big problem. It is a "may" trigger at least.
Fear of Infinity image 2 I think not being able to block hurts this in a big way. Lifelink makes up for it a little bit. If this format ends up being slower, this'll go up -- but right now I'm not super impressed.
Impossible Inferno image 3 5 mana removal generally isn't premium, but if you get Delirium -- which is very doable -- this becomes a 2-for-1 and makes up for the cost.
Unable to Scream image 1 This style of removal is always bad, no mattter how efficient it looks. This is because you don't actually trade 1-for-1, since they hold on to their creature and can still do stuff with it -- like block.
Terramorphic Expanse image 3 This is good fixing, and is also good for delirium and sacrifice decks.
Derelict Attic image 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.
Wary Watchdog image 2.5 This can put up to three cards into the graveyard all on it's own, and it has passable stats to begin with.
Malevolent Chandelier image 0 The stat-line is bad, and the activated ability is clunky. You shouldn't play this.
Forest image
Appendage Amalgam image 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.
Pack 1 Pick 5: Glimmerlight
Unwilling Vessel image 3.5 I don't love how inefficiently this starts out, but if you get even one counter on him that's no longer a problem.
Valgavoth's Faithful image 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.
Glimmerlight image 2 This is a solid equipment that can even trigger eerie.
Impossible Inferno image 3 5 mana removal generally isn't premium, but if you get Delirium -- which is very doable -- this becomes a 2-for-1 and makes up for the cost.
Balemurk Leech image 2 This stat-line is no longer very efficient, and the eerie trigger isn't anything to write home about.
Flesh Burrower image 2.5 This has a solid baseline, and while the attack trigger isn't always relevant, it is often enough for this to be solid.
Grab the Prize image 1.5 If you need to get delirium, this can help while digging you deeper in your library. But without a spell deck in this format, it's probably going to underperform.
Clammy Prowler image 2 The stat-line's not great, but it triggers eerie and has some decent utility.
Etched Cornfield image 3 These offer great fixing, as they will usually be untapped by the mid to late game.
Cynical Loner image 2 A two-mana 3/1 is fine, and this can help you get delirium or drop a reanimation target in the graveyard.
Pack 1 Pick 6: Shepherding Spirits
Saw image 1.5 The buff is weak, and this is only worth using in the extreme late game in most cases.
Skullsnap Nuisance image 3 The stat-line's solid, and you're definitely going to load your graveyard and smooth out your draws with this trigger.
Erratic Apparition image 2 The base stats here are pretty bad, but it'll often attack as a 2/4.
Bashful Beastie image 2.5 A 5-mana 5/4 that dies into a 2/2 token is solid, and this is significantly better than that.
Fear of Lost Teeth image 3 This gives you a lot for one mana. It's got a solid baseline and it's great sacrifice fodder and gets you halfway to delirium all on it's own.
Vicious Clown image 2 3 mana for a creature that is always a 4/3 isn't exactly exciting, and this is worse in most ways.
Shepherding Spirits image 2 This feels pretty mediocre whether you cycle it away or hard cast it, and it even feels mediocre as a reanimation target. But, it's not terrible in any of those spots either.
Lakeside Shack image 3 These offer great fixing, as they will usually be untapped by the mid to late game.
Meat Locker image 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.
Pack 1 Pick 7: Cryptid Inspector
Dashing Bloodsucker image 3 This will often be a 4/5 with lifelink on your turn and that's a very problematic body for your opponent -- and sometimes it'll be a 6/5 or bigger.
Beastie Beatdown image 3.5 Even without Delirium you'd play this, and when you do have it, this lets your creatures punch up in a big way, and they can usually attack too!
Piranha Fly image 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.
Ragged Playmate image 2 This is a sub-par stat-line and it has a mediocre activated ability, but it's a two drop with two types, so it's more playable than it looks.
Fear of Lost Teeth image 3 This gives you a lot for one mana. It's got a solid baseline and it's great sacrifice fodder and gets you halfway to delirium all on it's own.
Cryptid Inspector image 3 This isn't very hard to grow, especially in Blue/Green, and having Vigilance makes it both a brick wall and a great attacker.
Bear Trap image 1.5 This is inefficient removal that you'll only use if you're desperate.
Forest image
Pack 1 Pick 8: Emerge from the Cocoon
Grievous Wound image 0 This costs 5 mana and basically does nothing unless you're already ahead and can attack your opponent effectively.
Saw image 1.5 The buff is weak, and this is only worth using in the extreme late game in most cases.
Balemurk Leech image 2 This stat-line is no longer very efficient, and the eerie trigger isn't anything to write home about.
Living Phone image 2 The stat-line is bad, but this has a decent shot at drawing you a card when it dies, especially in Red-White.
Clammy Prowler image 2 The stat-line's not great, but it triggers eerie and has some decent utility.
Raucous Carnival image 3 These offer great fixing, as they will usually be untapped by the mid to late game.
Emerge from the Cocoon image 2 B/W is a reanimator deck in this format, but I think you're hoping you end up with one of the better reanimation spells in the format, and there are at least 4 of them at lower rarities.
Pack 1 Pick 9: Get Out
Vile Mutilator image 3 This is great when you reanimate it, and definitely gives you 7 mana worth of value when you have to cast it.
Get Out image 2.5 This can counter almost every spell in the format, and the Enchantment mode is useful on occasion. The double Blue holds it back a bit, though.
Piranha Fly image 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.
Give In to Violence image 2 This is a little bit too expensive for me to be excited about, but it's a trick that does the job in Black aggro decks.
Stalked Researcher image 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.
Razortrap Gorge image 3 These offer great fixing, as they will usually be untapped by the mid to late game.
Pack 1 Pick 10: Greenhouse
Bedhead Beastie image 2 This is a fairly imposing presence in the late game, though it's nothing to right home about. Mountaincycling makes it a little better.
Impossible Inferno image 3 5 mana removal generally isn't premium, but if you get Delirium -- which is very doable -- this becomes a 2-for-1 and makes up for the cost.
Fear of Lost Teeth image 3 This gives you a lot for one mana. It's got a solid baseline and it's great sacrifice fodder and gets you halfway to delirium all on it's own.
Island image
Greenhouse image 1 Neither side affects the board, and Greenhouse is almost entirely irrelevant. The Gazebo is an overcosted draw spell.
Pack 1 Pick 11: Skullsnap Nuisance
Skullsnap Nuisance image 3 The stat-line's solid, and you're definitely going to load your graveyard and smooth out your draws with this trigger.
Rampaging Soulrager image 1.5 A three mana 1/4 is bad, and making this into a 4/4 is going to take significant work.
Winter's Intervention image 3 Removing a creature -- and sometimes even trading up -- is pretty great when you also gain life.
Swamp image
Pack 1 Pick 12: Derelict Attic
Derelict Attic image 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.
Forest image
Appendage Amalgam image 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.
Pack 1 Pick 13: Balemurk Leech
Balemurk Leech image 2 This stat-line is no longer very efficient, and the eerie trigger isn't anything to write home about.
Grab the Prize image 1.5 If you need to get delirium, this can help while digging you deeper in your library. But without a spell deck in this format, it's probably going to underperform.
Pack 1 Pick 14: Fear of Lost Teeth
Fear of Lost Teeth image 3 This gives you a lot for one mana. It's got a solid baseline and it's great sacrifice fodder and gets you halfway to delirium all on it's own.
Pack 2 Pick 1: Twitching Doll
Twitching Doll image 4 Even withou the spider ability this is a card you would play 100% of the time, since it has a real body and can ramp and fix your mana. So, the fact taht this can produce a bunch of tokens in the late game is pretty awesome.
Ethereal Armor image 2 If you're in an Enchantment heavy deck this can perform fairly well, although it's still risky like all auras are.
Fear of Infinity image 2 I think not being able to block hurts this in a big way. Lifelink makes up for it a little bit. If this format ends up being slower, this'll go up -- but right now I'm not super impressed.
Keys to the House image 1.5 This is a slow way to fix your mana and can occasionally get you some extra door value.
Betrayer's Bargain image 3.5 The floor is a 4-mana deal 5, and that's very playable -- but this will often cost two and give you some sacrifice synergy.
Friendly Ghost image 2.5 This ETB is likely to give you an attack you didn't have before, and the French vanilla stat-line isn't too bad either.
Innocuous Rat image 3.5 Spending two mana to get a 1/1 and a 2/2 is great, and that 2/2 has big upside.
Monstrous Emergence image 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 image 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.
Vicious Clown image 2 3 mana for a creature that is always a 4/3 isn't exactly exciting, and this is worse in most ways.
Unsettling Twins image 4 This is a great common. You pay 4 mana for two 2/2s, and the second 2/2 has massive upside.
Unable to Scream image 1 This style of removal is always bad, no mattter how efficient it looks. This is because you don't actually trade 1-for-1, since they hold on to their creature and can still do stuff with it -- like block.
Mountain image
Shroudstomper image 3.5 This is a great reanimation target for the Black-White deck, and hard-casting it is still pretty good.
Pack 2 Pick 2: Fear of Abduction
Cathartic Parting image 2.5 There are enough artifacts and enchantments in this set for this to be main deck material, and shuffling your stuff back into your library can have real value too.
Fear of Abduction image 4 Even with the alternate cost this is very much worth it since you get a huge flyer and get rid of their best creature, and reanimating it is particularly spicy.
Paranormal Analyst image 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.
Betrayer's Bargain image 3.5 The floor is a 4-mana deal 5, and that's very playable -- but this will often cost two and give you some sacrifice synergy.
Terramorphic Expanse image 3 This is good fixing, and is also good for delirium and sacrifice decks.
Grand Entryway image 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.
Bashful Beastie image 2.5 A 5-mana 5/4 that dies into a 2/2 token is solid, and this is significantly better than that.
Ragged Playmate image 2 This is a sub-par stat-line and it has a mediocre activated ability, but it's a two drop with two types, so it's more playable than it looks.
Innocuous Rat image 3.5 Spending two mana to get a 1/1 and a 2/2 is great, and that 2/2 has big upside.
Glimmerburst image 2.5 An instant-speed 4-mana draw 2 that adds to the board -- and triggers eerie, is something that I'd like one copy of in many Blue decks.
Meat Locker image 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.
Strangled Cemetery image 3 These offer great fixing, as they will usually be untapped by the mid to late game.
Dashing Bloodsucker image 3 This will often be a 4/5 with lifelink on your turn and that's a very problematic body for your opponent -- and sometimes it'll be a 6/5 or bigger.
Pack 2 Pick 3: Wary Watchdog
Killer's Mask image 3.5 This is a three mana 2/2 Menace with massive upside because of Manifest Dread, and because a Menace equipment is a decent thing to have around.
Cursed Windbreaker image 3.5 You get a ton for your investment here, between a 2/2 with upside and an Equipment that can offer flying to anything.
Cathartic Parting image 2.5 There are enough artifacts and enchantments in this set for this to be main deck material, and shuffling your stuff back into your library can have real value too.
Innocuous Rat image 3.5 Spending two mana to get a 1/1 and a 2/2 is great, and that 2/2 has big upside.
Acrobatic Cheerleader image 2.5 If you play this on two when you're on the play, there's a good chance it will get flying. And, there are plenty of ways to get it flying even in the late game. It's a quality two drop.
Cracked Skull image 1.5 Getting two pretty weak effects for three mana isn't great, but this is an Enchantment format, so this is probably a little better than it looks.
Flesh Burrower image 2.5 This has a solid baseline, and while the attack trigger isn't always relevant, it is often enough for this to be solid.
Unable to Scream image 1 This style of removal is always bad, no mattter how efficient it looks. This is because you don't actually trade 1-for-1, since they hold on to their creature and can still do stuff with it -- like block.
Turn Inside Out image 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.
Wary Watchdog image 2.5 This can put up to three cards into the graveyard all on it's own, and it has passable stats to begin with.
Mountain image
Possessed Goat image 2 This ability can make the Goat relevant on any board, and help you load the graveyard.
Pack 2 Pick 4: Slavering Branchsnapper
Intruding Soulrager image 2.5 This is kind of awkward. There are lots of doors that won't be worth sacrificing, but when this does have one that is worth it, it'll feel pretty good.
Rite of the Moth image 3 There are lots of good reanimation targets in this format, especially in Black-White, and loading your graveyard and discarding things isn't too challenging.
Slavering Branchsnapper image 2 This is a big creature late -- albeit one that doesn't really give you 6 mana's worth of value -- and you can throw it away early for a land, which is necessary sometimes.
Shepherding Spirits image 2 This feels pretty mediocre whether you cycle it away or hard cast it, and it even feels mediocre as a reanimation target. But, it's not terrible in any of those spots either.
Winter's Intervention image 3 Removing a creature -- and sometimes even trading up -- is pretty great when you also gain life.
Found Footage image 1.5 This helps load your graveyard, but it's other effect is more irrelevant than you'd expect.
Stalked Researcher image 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.
Horrid Vigor image 2.5 This wins a creature virtually any combat and blanks virtually any removal spell -- that's exactly what you want in a trick.
Boilerbilges Ripper image 2 You have to sacrifice something that isn't worth an entire card, or this won't feel worth it. When you can do that, though -- this ETB is pretty strong.
Plains image
Paranormal Analyst image 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 2 Pick 5: Possessed Goat
Broodspinner image 4 This is great when you play it on two, and the ability is a game-winner in the late game.
Smoky Lounge image 1.0 // 3.5 I don't love that the Loung doesn't impact the board at all, but Misty Salon can really allow you to win the game with a bunch of doors in play. Problem is, I don't think every blue-red deck can pull that off, so it needs a build around grade.
Shepherding Spirits image 2 This feels pretty mediocre whether you cycle it away or hard cast it, and it even feels mediocre as a reanimation target. But, it's not terrible in any of those spots either.
Cackling Slasher image 1.5 Any time we see an under-statted creature who can be decent if a creature die in a turn, it ends up being surprisingly hard to get that counter.
Glimmerburst image 2.5 An instant-speed 4-mana draw 2 that adds to the board -- and triggers eerie, is something that I'd like one copy of in many Blue decks.
Grasping Longneck image 2.5 This has passable stats and a death trigger that makes up for it's low toughness, and the Enchantment typing is pretty important.
Possessed Goat image 2 This ability can make the Goat relevant on any board, and help you load the graveyard.
Stalked Researcher image 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.
Plains image
Underwater Tunnel image 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.
Pack 2 Pick 6: Bashful Beastie
Cracked Skull image 1.5 Getting two pretty weak effects for three mana isn't great, but this is an Enchantment format, so this is probably a little better than it looks.
Possessed Goat image 2 This ability can make the Goat relevant on any board, and help you load the graveyard.
Horrid Vigor image 2.5 This wins a creature virtually any combat and blanks virtually any removal spell -- that's exactly what you want in a trick.
Most Valuable Slayer image 2.5 This can buff stuff the turn it comes down, and the boost it offers is enough to make your attacks much better.
Clammy Prowler image 2 The stat-line's not great, but it triggers eerie and has some decent utility.
Glimmerlight image 2 This is a solid equipment that can even trigger eerie.
Spectral Snatcher image 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.
Bashful Beastie image 2.5 A 5-mana 5/4 that dies into a 2/2 token is solid, and this is significantly better than that.
Peculiar Lighthouse image 3 These offer great fixing, as they will usually be untapped by the mid to late game.
Pack 2 Pick 7: Cautious Survivor
Let's Play a Game image 1.5 Even if you always got all three of these effects, they are narrow enough that this card wouldn't be insane, so jumping through hoops to get them all doesn't seem worth it to me.
Diversion Specialist image 3.5 A 4-mana 4/3 with Menace is pretty solid, and this sacrifice trigger is great when you have fodder.
Bear Trap image 1.5 This is inefficient removal that you'll only use if you're desperate.
Emerge from the Cocoon image 2 B/W is a reanimator deck in this format, but I think you're hoping you end up with one of the better reanimation spells in the format, and there are at least 4 of them at lower rarities.
Bedhead Beastie image 2 This is a fairly imposing presence in the late game, though it's nothing to right home about. Mountaincycling makes it a little better.
Cautious Survivor image 2 A 4-mana 4/4 is fine, but this has one of the weaker survival triggers in the set.
Fear of Lost Teeth image 3 This gives you a lot for one mana. It's got a solid baseline and it's great sacrifice fodder and gets you halfway to delirium all on it's own.
Swamp image
Pack 2 Pick 8: Bashful Beastie
Let's Play a Game image 1.5 Even if you always got all three of these effects, they are narrow enough that this card wouldn't be insane, so jumping through hoops to get them all doesn't seem worth it to me.
Malevolent Chandelier image 0 The stat-line is bad, and the activated ability is clunky. You shouldn't play this.
Appendage Amalgam image 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.
Bashful Beastie image 2.5 A 5-mana 5/4 that dies into a 2/2 token is solid, and this is significantly better than that.
Anthropede image 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.
Lakeside Shack image 3 These offer great fixing, as they will usually be untapped by the mid to late game.
Bear Trap image 1.5 This is inefficient removal that you'll only use if you're desperate.
Pack 2 Pick 9: Keys to the House
Fear of Infinity image 2 I think not being able to block hurts this in a big way. Lifelink makes up for it a little bit. If this format ends up being slower, this'll go up -- but right now I'm not super impressed.
Keys to the House image 1.5 This is a slow way to fix your mana and can occasionally get you some extra door value.
Friendly Ghost image 2.5 This ETB is likely to give you an attack you didn't have before, and the French vanilla stat-line isn't too bad either.
Innocuous Rat image 3.5 Spending two mana to get a 1/1 and a 2/2 is great, and that 2/2 has big upside.
Derelict Attic image 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.
Mountain image
Pack 2 Pick 10: Dashing Bloodsucker
Bashful Beastie image 2.5 A 5-mana 5/4 that dies into a 2/2 token is solid, and this is significantly better than that.
Ragged Playmate image 2 This is a sub-par stat-line and it has a mediocre activated ability, but it's a two drop with two types, so it's more playable than it looks.
Innocuous Rat image 3.5 Spending two mana to get a 1/1 and a 2/2 is great, and that 2/2 has big upside.
Strangled Cemetery image 3 These offer great fixing, as they will usually be untapped by the mid to late game.
Dashing Bloodsucker image 3 This will often be a 4/5 with lifelink on your turn and that's a very problematic body for your opponent -- and sometimes it'll be a 6/5 or bigger.
Pack 2 Pick 11: Possessed Goat
Killer's Mask image 3.5 This is a three mana 2/2 Menace with massive upside because of Manifest Dread, and because a Menace equipment is a decent thing to have around.
Cracked Skull image 1.5 Getting two pretty weak effects for three mana isn't great, but this is an Enchantment format, so this is probably a little better than it looks.
Mountain image
Possessed Goat image 2 This ability can make the Goat relevant on any board, and help you load the graveyard.
Pack 2 Pick 12: Stalked Researcher
Found Footage image 1.5 This helps load your graveyard, but it's other effect is more irrelevant than you'd expect.
Stalked Researcher image 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.
Plains image
Pack 2 Pick 13: Cackling Slasher
Cackling Slasher image 1.5 Any time we see an under-statted creature who can be decent if a creature die in a turn, it ends up being surprisingly hard to get that counter.
Plains image
Pack 2 Pick 14: Clammy Prowler
Clammy Prowler image 2 The stat-line's not great, but it triggers eerie and has some decent utility.
Pack 3 Pick 1: Grand Entryway
Thornspire Verge image 3 These offer great fixing, as they will usually be untapped by the mid to late game.
Leyline of Transformation image 0 This effect is almost entirely meaningless in this format.
Midnight Mayhem image 3 This will really make your attack way better if you're ahead, and if you're behind getting those three tokens makes it pretty hard for you to lose before your next turn.
Drag to the Roots image 3.5 The baseline is solid removal, and the upside is super efficient removal.
Ghostly Keybearer image 2 4-mana 3/3 Flyers have gotten pretty underwhelming of late, and this card's upside seems a bit too narrow to me.
Murder image 2.5 The double Black can be surprisingly tough to have when you need it in Limited, but it's still nice removal.
Glassworks image 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.
Bashful Beastie image 2.5 A 5-mana 5/4 that dies into a 2/2 token is solid, and this is significantly better than that.
Derelict Attic image 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.
Tunnel Surveyor image 3.5 Three mana 2/2s that make a 1/1 always perform well, and this one triggers Eerie.
Grand Entryway image 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.
Cracked Skull image 1.5 Getting two pretty weak effects for three mana isn't great, but this is an Enchantment format, so this is probably a little better than it looks.
Forest image
Derelict Attic image 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.
Pack 3 Pick 2: Manifest Dread
Fear of Abduction image 4 Even with the alternate cost this is very much worth it since you get a huge flyer and get rid of their best creature, and reanimating it is particularly spicy.
Irreverent Gremlin image 3.5 A two mana 2/2 menace is pretty nice, and it's very easy to trigger the rummage effect.
Scrabbling Skullcrab image 1.5 I wouldn't count on milling your opponent out with this. You may get more value milling yourself in this format, but it's a super underwhelming body and the Eerie trigger isn't very good overall.
Drag to the Roots image 3.5 The baseline is solid removal, and the upside is super efficient removal.
Manifest Dread image 2.5 This is right on rate for manifesting dread, and particualrly spicy in a Blue/green deck with lots of payoffs for manifest.
Cracked Skull image 1.5 Getting two pretty weak effects for three mana isn't great, but this is an Enchantment format, so this is probably a little better than it looks.
Grab the Prize image 1.5 If you need to get delirium, this can help while digging you deeper in your library. But without a spell deck in this format, it's probably going to underperform.
Emerge from the Cocoon image 2 B/W is a reanimator deck in this format, but I think you're hoping you end up with one of the better reanimation spells in the format, and there are at least 4 of them at lower rarities.
Enter the Enigma image 2 When this effect is good, it's really good -- and when it isn't, you can just throw it away. This format doesn't have a spell deck though, and that hurts it's stock some.
Creeping Peeper image 2.5 This can produce mana for Manifest Dread or all the Enchantments in the format, and that's pretty useful.
Terramorphic Expanse image 3 This is good fixing, and is also good for delirium and sacrifice decks.
Neglected Manor image 3 These offer great fixing, as they will usually be untapped by the mid to late game.
Boilerbilges Ripper image 2 You have to sacrifice something that isn't worth an entire card, or this won't feel worth it. When you can do that, though -- this ETB is pretty strong.
Pack 3 Pick 3: Under the Skin
Fear of Infinity image 2 I think not being able to block hurts this in a big way. Lifelink makes up for it a little bit. If this format ends up being slower, this'll go up -- but right now I'm not super impressed.
Irreverent Gremlin image 3.5 A two mana 2/2 menace is pretty nice, and it's very easy to trigger the rummage effect.
Under the Skin image 3.5 This is a sweet 2-for-1, and you can even get back the card you put into your graveyard with the manifest trigger.
Cryptid Inspector image 3 This isn't very hard to grow, especially in Blue/Green, and having Vigilance makes it both a brick wall and a great attacker.
Vanish from Sight image 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.
Appendage Amalgam image 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.
Hand That Feeds image 2.5 This will be a two mana 4/2 with Menace often enough that it's a nice two drop.
Wary Watchdog image 2.5 This can put up to three cards into the graveyard all on it's own, and it has passable stats to begin with.
Ragged Playmate image 2 This is a sub-par stat-line and it has a mediocre activated ability, but it's a two drop with two types, so it's more playable than it looks.
Grand Entryway image 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.
Murky Sewer image 3 These offer great fixing, as they will usually be untapped by the mid to late game.
Fanatic of the Harrowing image 2.5 Making your opponent discard while you get to loot is pretty nice, especially in a graveyard format.
Pack 3 Pick 4: Break Down the Door
Untimely Malfunction image 2 While all three modes on this are pretty situational, when they are useful, they have a big impact on the game.
Break Down the Door image 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.
Cult Healer image 3 This is going to have life link a lot, and that can really alter races.
Slavering Branchsnapper image 2 This is a big creature late -- albeit one that doesn't really give you 6 mana's worth of value -- and you can throw it away early for a land, which is necessary sometimes.
Give In to Violence image 2 This is a little bit too expensive for me to be excited about, but it's a trick that does the job in Black aggro decks.
Glimmerlight image 2 This is a solid equipment that can even trigger eerie.
Impossible Inferno image 3 5 mana removal generally isn't premium, but if you get Delirium -- which is very doable -- this becomes a 2-for-1 and makes up for the cost.
Cautious Survivor image 2 A 4-mana 4/4 is fine, but this has one of the weaker survival triggers in the set.
Possessed Goat image 2 This ability can make the Goat relevant on any board, and help you load the graveyard.
Abandoned Campground image 3 These offer great fixing, as they will usually be untapped by the mid to late game.
Disturbing Mirth image 3 Red/Black has enough ways to sacrifice Enchantments that this is going to generate serious value. They're great in multiples, too.
Pack 3 Pick 5: Spineseeker Centipede
Break Down the Door image 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.
Sporogenic Infection image 3 This is a pretty weird take on an edict effect. You have some control over it, since the creature it gets put on can't be sacrificed -- and you can even put it on your own creature if your opponent only has one. But it definitely removes something and then gives you a ltitle upside beyond that.
Ripchain Razorkin image 2 The stat-line's not great here, and the activated ability is really only good in the late game.
Balemurk Leech image 2 This stat-line is no longer very efficient, and the eerie trigger isn't anything to write home about.
Underwater Tunnel image 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.
Spineseeker Centipede image 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.
Malevolent Chandelier image 0 The stat-line is bad, and the activated ability is clunky. You shouldn't play this.
Slavering Branchsnapper image 2 This is a big creature late -- albeit one that doesn't really give you 6 mana's worth of value -- and you can throw it away early for a land, which is necessary sometimes.
Island image
Balemurk Leech image 2 This stat-line is no longer very efficient, and the eerie trigger isn't anything to write home about.
Pack 3 Pick 6: Haunted Screen
Haunted Screen image 2 This is better than most three mana mana rocks because it actually turns into a threat late.
Cult Healer image 3 This is going to have life link a lot, and that can really alter races.
Innocuous Rat image 3.5 Spending two mana to get a 1/1 and a 2/2 is great, and that 2/2 has big upside.
Ragged Playmate image 2 This is a sub-par stat-line and it has a mediocre activated ability, but it's a two drop with two types, so it's more playable than it looks.
Underwater Tunnel image 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.
Clockwork Percussionist image 2 This is a decent one drop, especially for Black-Red where you can sacrifice it and get the trigger.
Glimmerlight image 2 This is a solid equipment that can even trigger eerie.
Anthropede image 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.
Bleeding Woods image 3 These offer great fixing, as they will usually be untapped by the mid to late game.
Pack 3 Pick 7: Patchwork Beastie
Get Out image 2.5 This can counter almost every spell in the format, and the Enchantment mode is useful on occasion. The double Blue holds it back a bit, though.
Untimely Malfunction image 2 While all three modes on this are pretty situational, when they are useful, they have a big impact on the game.
Patchwork Beastie image 3 This helps you det delirium and then takes advantage of that fact -- that's exactly what you want from a delirium card.
Vanish from Sight image 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.
Cracked Skull image 1.5 Getting two pretty weak effects for three mana isn't great, but this is an Enchantment format, so this is probably a little better than it looks.
Grab the Prize image 1.5 If you need to get delirium, this can help while digging you deeper in your library. But without a spell deck in this format, it's probably going to underperform.
Twist Reality image 2 You're overpaying for either of these, but getting the option between them makes this playable.
Resurrected Cultist image 1.5 A 4/1's not great, and being able to bring it back once doesn't really make up for that.
Pack 3 Pick 8: Altanak, the Thrice-Called
Skullsnap Nuisance image 3 The stat-line's solid, and you're definitely going to load your graveyard and smooth out your draws with this trigger.
Altanak, the Thrice-Called image 3 It's a lot of mana, but it's castable and it's basically always going to be a 2-for-1.
Give In to Violence image 2 This is a little bit too expensive for me to be excited about, but it's a trick that does the job in Black aggro decks.
Erratic Apparition image 2 The base stats here are pretty bad, but it'll often attack as a 2/4.
Bashful Beastie image 2.5 A 5-mana 5/4 that dies into a 2/2 token is solid, and this is significantly better than that.
Plains image
Found Footage image 1.5 This helps load your graveyard, but it's other effect is more irrelevant than you'd expect.
Pack 3 Pick 9: Bashful Beastie
Murder image 2.5 The double Black can be surprisingly tough to have when you need it in Limited, but it's still nice removal.
Bashful Beastie image 2.5 A 5-mana 5/4 that dies into a 2/2 token is solid, and this is significantly better than that.
Derelict Attic image 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.
Cracked Skull image 1.5 Getting two pretty weak effects for three mana isn't great, but this is an Enchantment format, so this is probably a little better than it looks.
Forest image
Derelict Attic image 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.
Pack 3 Pick 10: Enter the Enigma
Cracked Skull image 1.5 Getting two pretty weak effects for three mana isn't great, but this is an Enchantment format, so this is probably a little better than it looks.
Grab the Prize image 1.5 If you need to get delirium, this can help while digging you deeper in your library. But without a spell deck in this format, it's probably going to underperform.
Enter the Enigma image 2 When this effect is good, it's really good -- and when it isn't, you can just throw it away. This format doesn't have a spell deck though, and that hurts it's stock some.
Creeping Peeper image 2.5 This can produce mana for Manifest Dread or all the Enchantments in the format, and that's pretty useful.
Boilerbilges Ripper image 2 You have to sacrifice something that isn't worth an entire card, or this won't feel worth it. When you can do that, though -- this ETB is pretty strong.
Pack 3 Pick 11: Cryptid Inspector
Fear of Infinity image 2 I think not being able to block hurts this in a big way. Lifelink makes up for it a little bit. If this format ends up being slower, this'll go up -- but right now I'm not super impressed.
Cryptid Inspector image 3 This isn't very hard to grow, especially in Blue/Green, and having Vigilance makes it both a brick wall and a great attacker.
Appendage Amalgam image 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.
Fanatic of the Harrowing image 2.5 Making your opponent discard while you get to loot is pretty nice, especially in a graveyard format.
Pack 3 Pick 12: Cautious Survivor
Give In to Violence image 2 This is a little bit too expensive for me to be excited about, but it's a trick that does the job in Black aggro decks.
Impossible Inferno image 3 5 mana removal generally isn't premium, but if you get Delirium -- which is very doable -- this becomes a 2-for-1 and makes up for the cost.
Cautious Survivor image 2 A 4-mana 4/4 is fine, but this has one of the weaker survival triggers in the set.
Pack 3 Pick 13: Balemurk Leech
Balemurk Leech image 2 This stat-line is no longer very efficient, and the eerie trigger isn't anything to write home about.
Island image
Pack 3 Pick 14: Anthropede
Anthropede image 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.
