Pack 1 Pick 1: Anafenza, Unyielding Lineage
Clarion Conqueror
3 This is mostly a three mana 3/3 Flyer -- but that's pretty good! Keep in mind the effect is symmetrical. The times where it does shut off your opponent's stuff will feel great. But not so much when you have an ability you want to use.

Anafenza, Unyielding Lineage
5 Flash makes it a lot easier for you to successfully set up an Endure trigger. Just set up any trade and flash in Anafenza, and you come out way ahead -- and then she sticks around and gives you more value. She has pretty solid starting stats too!

Equilibrium Adept
4 Even withotu Flurry this would be a card you play 100% of the time because it generates such a nice 2-for-1, and when this has double strike it'll be incredibly difficult to block.

Mystic Monastery
3.5 In other 3-color formats, the tri-lands are worth pretty high picks because they make your mana so much better.

Duty Beyond Death
1.5 // 3.0 If you have lots of Mobilize this is at it's best, since Mobilize tokens are temporary anyway -- and buffing your whole board and making it indestructible is pretty strong when you aren't actually giving something up.

2.5 Spending three mana and not adding to the board is a little scary, but this gives you ramp and fixing in a format where that looks like what you want to be doing -- and it can ultimately generate a 2-for-1.

Osseous Exhale
3 This is a little bit narrow, and aggro decks won't love that a creature gets to block before they can use this, but it is reasonably efficient and will gain you life sometimes.

Bearer of Glory

Gurmag Nightwatch
2 This gives you a bit of card selection and loads the graveyard, but it's hard enough to cast for three and inefficient enough at 4 that I don't think it looks great.

Riling Dawnbreaker
3 This effectively fills two different spots on the curve which is great. It's not gonna feel amazing on two or 5, but it can do both serviceably, and that's a big deal.

Nightblade Brigade
2.5 A three mana 1/3, even with death touch -- isn't great, but it comes with two other little pieces of value that help it out. Death touch + mobilize is a real pain for your opponent, and Surveil 1 can really help you out.

Sarkhan's Resolve
2 Plummet or a medium trick is what you get here, and if you're in the market for either of those, it's not bad.

Sidisi, Regent of the Mire
1.5 It's tough to make this activated ability do anything meaningful. Giving up something on board for a creature that might be slightly better isn't very appealing, and even making that line up in the first place is challenging.

Devoted Duelist
1.5 This is super underwhelming. The Flurry trigger is weak and the stat-line is bad. If you need a two drop, you'll play it -- but only if you don't have something better. And hopefully you do.

Feral Deathgorger
2.5 Neither of these cards is great individually, but Dusk Sight replaces itself and impacts the board, and the Deathgorger isn't a completely terrible 6-drop. It can trade with most dragons and will cause problems for any that have less than 5 power, while also hating on the graveyard -- or helping you trigger your own stuff.

Piercing Exhale
3.5 This effect is great at instant speed, since you need to find a window when it's safe to cast -- otherwhise you risk a 2-for-1, and an instant can obviously be cast in a wider variety of situations than a Sorcery can. Also, when you do get to surveil with this it'll feel amazing.

Alesha's Legacy

Humbling Elder
3 Other cards like this have performed quite well. You'd be surprised how often you can flash this in and just kill something while keeping the Elder. It's also super cheap in a color where that really matters.

Unrooted Ancestor
3 A three mana 3/2 isn't great, even with Flash -- but gaining indestructibility is no small thing, and will allow this to wreck many attacks -- while being a scarier attacker itself. It gets even better with Mobilize.

Pack 1 Pick 7: Evolving Wilds
Dragonbroods' Relic
1.5 // 3.5 This is an almost adequate mana rock, and the token it makes it the late game is pretty amazing. If you don't have amazing mana, it's not very good -- but if you can use the activated ability, you'll be pretty happy with this.

3 This is great at fixing your mana early and then can give you a real presence on board late. The Monuments all give you nice 2-for-1s, and I think that makes up for them not adding to the board on turn two.

Dragonstorm Forecaster
0.0 / 1.5 This can grab two cards that you probably shouldn't play in this format. Even drawing bad cards can be okay, but spending two generic to do it is pretty rough. Even if you have a couple card to draw with it, I think it maxes out at a 1.5.

Inspirited Vanguard
4 The baseline here is basically a 5-mana 3/2 and a 2/2, but it's so much better than that -- not only because it can just be one big creature, but also because endure keeps triggering when it attacks. So it can grow itself, or spit out more tokens -- either way, you're going to feel good about things.

4 This enters trigger will often kill something and make one of your creatures into a much better attacker for a turn, and then you have a 5/5 Menace that your opponent likely just can't ignore.

Humbling Elder
3 Other cards like this have performed quite well. You'd be surprised how often you can flash this in and just kill something while keeping the Elder. It's also super cheap in a color where that really matters.

Pack 2 Pick 11: Rugged Highlands
Gurmag Nightwatch
2 This gives you a bit of card selection and loads the graveyard, but it's hard enough to cast for three and inefficient enough at 4 that I don't think it looks great.

3 This seems like a lot of value for the cost. The stat-line isn't great obviously, but it's great against removal and can trade for most stuff while giving you lots of extra value.

2.5 This is two 1.5 cards stapled together -- but having an Omen does mean that this doesn't have the biggest downside about being a 6-drop -- that it doesn't do anything until you get to 6!

Pack 3 Pick 1: Dragonstorm Globe
Songcrafter Mage
4 This is going to feel like a better Snapcaster Mage in many situations since it can help you cast the things it gives Harmonize too. Sometimes it won't have anything in the graveyard to target, though.

Dragonstorm Forecaster
0.0 / 1.5 This can grab two cards that you probably shouldn't play in this format. Even drawing bad cards can be okay, but spending two generic to do it is pretty rough. Even if you have a couple card to draw with it, I think it maxes out at a 1.5.

Stormshriek Feral
2.5 The Omen is good at getting Flurry going, and the creature -- while not amazing, does come with Haste so it can often get in for damage before your opponent takes it down.

Underfoot Underdogs
2.5 This activated ability isn't great, but the baseline of a three mana 1/2 and a 1/1 is fine. The ability may also play better in a format with lots of low-power Mobilize creatures.

2 The base effect here has not performed well in Limited in the past -- as in, most of them have been 1.0 or so -- but the fact that this replaces itself makes a big difference, especially with Flurry.

3 A three mana 3/2 isn't great, even with Flash -- but gaining indestructibility is no small thing, and will allow this to wreck many attacks -- while being a scarier attacker itself. It gets even better with Mobilize.

1.5 It's tough to make this activated ability do anything meaningful. Giving up something on board for a creature that might be slightly better isn't very appealing, and even making that line up in the first place is challenging.

2.5 The second mode on this card usually makes for a playable card in Limited, but it can be awkward because it's only good later. So it's great they gave this a mode that can be useful in the early game for picking off X/1s.

Jade-Cast Sentinel
1 this is almost entirely a defensive creature, and those rarely work in Limited.

Pack 3 Pick 9: Swiftwater Cliffs
Dragonstorm Forecaster
0.0 / 1.5 This can grab two cards that you probably shouldn't play in this format. Even drawing bad cards can be okay, but spending two generic to do it is pretty rough. Even if you have a couple card to draw with it, I think it maxes out at a 1.5.

Lie in Wait
4 This is a very powerful 2-for-1, and while it isn't always going to be online, it won't be too difficult to get it there either.

Delta Bloodflies
2 If you can play this on two and put counters on it or your other stuff, it can chip in for a lot of damage -- but it's going to get outclassed by dragons pretty quickly.

Trade Route Envoy
3.5 This is such a good Common, no matter which mode you get. If you get a 4-mana 5/4 that helps with token synergy -- fine, and if you get a 4-mana 4/3 that draws you a card -- great!

Agent of Kotis
2 This has mediocre base stats, but the Renew ability is going to give you nice value in the late game.

Pack 3 Pick 10: Kishla Village
Kishla Village
3 Surveil doesn't quite net you a card like some of the other lands in this cycle, but it does improve your draws and load your graveyard which can really help in the late game.

Heritage Reclamation
2 This has enough modes that it isn't terrible, but if you're mostly using the exile mode it probably isn't great.

Unending Whisper
2.5 This gives you a 2-for-1 in the long run, and it's a cheap draw spell to help you get Flurry going.

Sandskitter Outrider
3.5 Getting a 2/1 with menace and a 2/2 for 4 mana is a good deal, and Endure's flexibility can give you a 4/3 Menace instead when that's what you need.

Watcher of the Wayside
1.5 This has bad stats and a mediocre enters trigger. You'll play it in your graveyard decks when you're desperate.

Pack 3 Pick 11: Sarkhan's Resolve
Rainveil Rejuvenator
2.5 The stats aren't great, but this goes well in mill and ramp strategies, which seem to be there for the taking in Green.

Fire-Rim Form
1.5 This is an okay trick. It lets lots of creatures win combat, but it's not good against removal, and while the buff it leaves behind is okay, it's not great.

2 Plummet or a medium trick is what you get here, and if you're in the market for either of those, it's not bad.

Pack 3 Pick 12: Sidisi, Regent of the Mire
Sidisi, Regent of the Mire
1.5 It's tough to make this activated ability do anything meaningful. Giving up something on board for a creature that might be slightly better isn't very appealing, and even making that line up in the first place is challenging.

Underfoot Underdogs
2.5 This activated ability isn't great, but the baseline of a three mana 1/2 and a 1/1 is fine. The ability may also play better in a format with lots of low-power Mobilize creatures.

Wingspan Stride
1.5 This buff is pretty good for the cost, and the fact it can bounce is kind of sweet with Flurry and Prowess -- but it's still a card that risks a 2-for-1, and I don't think it does enough to offset that.

Pack 3 Pick 13: Narset's Rebuke
Rebellious Strike
1.5 // 2.5 If you aren't trying to trigger Prowess or Flurry, this isn't all that good. It gives a small buff and replaces itself, but that buff doesn't always do something meaningful. If you are in on flurry or prowess, it gets significantly better.

Narset's Rebuke
2 5 mana for 5 damage is pretty bad. It's just hard to feel good about spending that much mana to remove most creatures, but the exile clause is nice, and if you can spend the three mana it gives you on something you'll feel pretty good. Most of the time, you won't be able to make use of the mana though.

Pack 3 Pick 14: Essence Anchor
Essence Anchor
1.5 / 3.5 An artifact that Surveils every upkeep isn't really worth this much mana, but if you have some ways to move cards out of your graveyard (and there are plenty of those) this turns into a very good value engine.
