Pack 1 Pick 1: Stingerback Terror
Stingerback Terror
4 This will be pretty efficient without even trying. If you play it on 4 it's likely to be a 3/3 with flying and trample, and it'll only go from there.

Mystical Tether
3.5 This is really good even without the Flash upside. With it, it has blow-out potential and some synergy in the UW color pair.

Skulduggery
3 Generating a two-for-one with this is surprisingly easy, and even when you can't it makes for a good combat trick that efficiently commits crime.

Ankle Biter
2.5 Green one mana 1/1s with Deathtouch tend to be a little better than black ones because of bite effects.

3 The rate on this is pretty crazy for a Common! It's a very real body that gains you life, and that can go a long way towards helping you stabilize.

Prairie Dog
3.5 A two mana 2/2 with lifelink is a creature you always play, and this can grow fairly easily. In the late game, you can use it's ability as a nice mana sink.

Omenport Vigilante
2.5 Your opponent has to respect this thing, as it might gain double strike at instant speed. That's good upside to have on a bear.

Scorching Shot
3.5 This is efficient, but a little hard to cast, and being Sorcery speed will make it harder to generate 2-for-1s.

Take the Fall
2.5 This looks like it's well-positioned in this format. It's good if you're trying to play two spells a turn in UR, it's good if you're trying to commit crimes in UB, it's good if you're trying to only do stuff on your opponent's turn if you're in Blue-White. It's definitely a small effect, but it replacing itself and having a real effect seems doable.

Hardbristle Bandit
3 I wouldn't count on getting a benefit out of untapping this with regularity, but doing it once per game isn't a stretch, and a two mana 1/1 that taps for mana of any color is always playable anyway.

Oasis Gardener
2 If you need fixing, this can do it. While the stat-line isn't especially good, the life gain helps even that out a tiny bit.

Fleeting Reflection
1.5 Hexproof can be nice in the right situation. So can turning your creature into a copy of something else. However, both effects are too narrow for this to make the cut all that often.

Rooftop Assassin
2 Killing things that have already been damaged is surprisingly hard to take advantage of. They pushed this pretty hard with all these keywords, so I think it'll be better than most similar creatures we have seen. But it's still nothing special.

Stagecoach Security
2.5 Buffing your whole board and giving it Vigilance is great, as it allows you to attack a lot better while not giving anything up on defense.

Shifting Grift

Failed Fording
2 This style of card is virtually always a 2, even with a little bit of upside. It's nice that you can interact, but the price you pay is often card disadvantage.

3.5 Three mana 2/2s that make 1/1s always perform well in Limited, and these tokens both come with an "Outlaw" creature type.

Spring Splasher
2 Pretty nice on turn two, as there isn't much that can block it in the early game. It isn't terrible in the mid to late game either, as it can really improve an attack for you.

Spinewoods Armadillo
3.5 This is an imposing presence when it's on the board, and fixing your mana early is awesome. That life gain is no small thing either, as you need to counteract the fact that you don't impact the board when you cycle it.

Intimidation Campaign
2.5 I really want this to be good, and it has the potential. But if this is like other formats of late, paying three mana over and over again for this effect might be too slow.

Sheriff of Safe Passage
