Pack 1 Pick 1: Vayne's Treachery
Edgar, King of Figaro
4 You can ignore the coin part, but his enters trigger is going to draw you at least 1 card with regularity, and you'll draw way more in a deck like Blue/White.

Circle of Power
2.5 It's a little bit clunky to be sure, but it does add to the board and lifelink on Wizards means your pings will gain you life back.

Judge Magister Gabranth

Garnet, Princess of Alexandria
3 She needs Sagas to go off, but that's not a huge ask in this set. If you can simultaneously buff your lifelinker and help your Saga Creatures stay around longer to generate more value, she's going to feel great. She will just be a two mana 2/2 with lifelink a big chunk of the time, though.

2 This feels a little bit overcosted for what it is. A 0/1 is nice because of it's trigger, but three mana for a 1/3 is super bad.

2.5 Looting is nice, but way worse when you have to pay mana for it. Giving this up to draw a bunch of cards late seems like legit upside too, especially if you have Towns.

Vayne's Treachery
3.5 Without kicker this would often make the cut, and with it you can kill almost anything. There's plenty of fodder to sacrifice to it, too.

Rook Turret
2 4-mana 3/3 flyers haven't done very well lately, they just aren't efficient enough when they don't have an enters trigger -- and this doesn't have one. The loot trigger can be nice when it sticks around.

2 The base stats are bad, and even growing to a 4/3 isn't great. It gets better if you can put multiple creatures into play with regularity.

Pack 1 Pick 2: Black Mage's Rod
Snow Villiers
2.5 This can hit pretty hard, and Vigilance let's it hang back and use it's high power on defense too, but sometimes it'll be too small -- and even the ceiling is still a 3 toughness creature.

Giott, King of the Dwarves
3 He likes Equipment a lot, and this format has a lot of them. Rummaging is nice upside to add to them, and because he's a double striker he's a great creature to Equip too.

Self-Destruct
1.5 This is kind of like Fling, but a little more flexible because if your creature has higher toughness than power it can survive. Still, it feels too situational to be a card every deck wants.

Chocobo Kick
3.5 This has a Kicker you can literally always pay, and you can turn that downside into even more upside with landfall. And it's premium removal to begin with.

3.5 Growing this with noncreature spells is quite doable, and there are a few draw 2 effects in the format too that will trigger it.

3 This landfall trigger is a little awkward, since you will often want to dsicard lands to it. Her ability to reanimate sagas can come up in a big way in the late game.

3.5 This stat-line is a lot worse than it was back in the days of Dominaria, but this triggered ability is surprisingly easy to bleed your opponent out with.

Reno and Rude
2.5 This asks for a ton to actually go off. You have to have it get in, you have to have something to sacrifice, and you need mana to cast it. That's a big ask, and when it's easiest to get in with it -- in the early game -- you won't have any of that going on. This is mostly just a two mana 2/1 with Menace.

4 The effect is powerful, but often awkward too, since sometimes you end up bouncing more of your stuff than your opponent's! However, you do get to add a big body to the board that is likely to draw you a card on the next turn, and that largely makes up for how awkward this can be sometimes.

1.5 This feels like a win-more card. Transforming it is strong, but it asks you to hit your opponent for 6 to get there, and when you can do that, you're already ahead. So it's not good at parity or behind.

2.5 Most of the value here comes from the activated ability, which is a good way to get value in the late game since you can get 4 counters at a time. However, it doesn't do much on turn 4 or 5, and that's a problem.

4 This can cast a spell from either graveyard, so it's not that hard to set it up to do exactly that. You do have to run it out on turn three in a pinch sometimes and that stinks, but most of the time you'll be able to wait and get a sweet 2-for-1.

Black Waltz No. 3
2 This stat-line is very worrysome for a 4-mana card. It can die quite easily to very cheap removal in the format, and it doesn't give you any sort of value up front.
