Pro Rating: 1
Pro Comment: Hexproof and preventing noncombat damage is almost irrelevant in Limited, so you're left with a purely defensive creature which is rarely good in Limited.
Squad Rallier
Average Picked At: 9.00
Total Times Picked: 46
Average Last Seen At: 7.72
Total Times Seen 315
Pro Rating: 2.5
Pro Comment: The stat-line is a bit underwhelming, but that activated ability is exactly what you want in the mid-to-late game. It's some serious flood insurance.
Loot, Exuberant Explorer
Average Picked At: 1.92
Total Times Picked: 12
Average Last Seen At: 1.84
Total Times Seen 21
Pro Rating: 4
Pro Comment: The "extra land" ability is pretty underwhelming in most Limited games, but that activated ability is legit. It makes it so you never have to worry about flooding out, and that's great.
Lunar Insight
Average Picked At: 7.50
Total Times Picked: 2
Average Last Seen At: 5.11
Total Times Seen 35
Pro Rating: 1.5
Pro Comment: This has some nice extreme late game upside, but int he early game it's pretty close to a blank card.
Vampire Soulcaller
Average Picked At: 9.90
Total Times Picked: 39
Average Last Seen At: 8.05
Total Times Seen 337
Pro Rating: 2
Pro Comment: Not being able to block is a big downside, as it makes it way harder to generate a 2-for-1 with this than with something like Gravedigger.
Vampire Nighthawk
Average Picked At: 2.54
Total Times Picked: 24
Average Last Seen At: 2.24
Total Times Seen 45
Pro Rating: 4
Pro Comment: This is great whether you're ahead or behind, since it can trade for anything, attack effectively, and gain lots of life.
Felidar Savior
Average Picked At: 5.63
Total Times Picked: 38
Average Last Seen At: 4.67
Total Times Seen 199
Pro Rating: 4
Pro Comment: For 4 mana, you get 4/5 worth of stats, 2/2 of which effectively has haste, and 2/3 of which has lifelink. That's an amazing rate, and counters and life gain have support in the format.
Gleaming Barrier
Average Picked At: 12.48
Total Times Picked: 29
Average Last Seen At: 9.56
Total Times Seen 442
Pro Rating: 1
Pro Comment: If this format had an artifact theme this might be more useful, as is it's just a bad defensive creature that gives you a little mana back.
Forest
Average Picked At: 13.88
Total Times Picked: 17
Average Last Seen At: 10.69
Total Times Seen 255
Exemplar of Light
Average Picked At: 1.00
Total Times Picked: 6
Average Last Seen At: 1.50
Total Times Seen 10
Pro Rating: 4.5
Pro Comment: This can go off easily in GW +1/+1 counters and BW lifegain -- gaining counters and drawing cards is the kind of engine that can win you the game.
Ajani, Caller of the Pride
Average Picked At: 1.83
Total Times Picked: 6
Average Last Seen At: 1.67
Total Times Seen 9
Pro Rating: 4
Pro Comment: If you have a decent board-state, Ajani can really give you an advantage, but he doesn't add anything to the board on his own, and takes some time to give you that advantage.
Fanatical Firebrand
Average Picked At: 11.15
Total Times Picked: 40
Average Last Seen At: 8.96
Total Times Seen 377
Pro Rating: 2.5
Pro Comment: This is really nice on turn one, and it's ping ability keeps it at least somewhat relevant all game long.
Garruk's Uprising
Average Picked At: 7.75
Total Times Picked: 8
Average Last Seen At: 5.87
Total Times Seen 98
Pro Rating: 1.5
Pro Comment: This isn't really the payoff you're looking for, mostly because it does stone nothing on it's own.
Hidetsugu's Second Rite
Average Picked At: 11.87
Total Times Picked: 15
Average Last Seen At: 8.35
Total Times Seen 150
Pro Rating: 0
Pro Comment: This is far too narrow for Limited. It's basically a blank card.
Overrun
Average Picked At: 7.27
Total Times Picked: 15
Average Last Seen At: 5.91
Total Times Seen 99
Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: This can win a lot of games, though you do need a built out board and three green mana for it to do the job.
Bake into a Pie
Average Picked At: 3.72
Total Times Picked: 47
Average Last Seen At: 3.70
Total Times Seen 140
Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: It's a little expensive but makes up for that in a big way with that food token.
Vanguard Seraph
Average Picked At: 8.00
Total Times Picked: 36
Average Last Seen At: 6.73
Total Times Seen 276
Pro Rating: 2
Pro Comment: It's been awhile since a 4-mana 3/3 Flyer was exciting, and this life gain payoff is underwhelming.
Drakuseth, Maw of Flames
Average Picked At: 2.33
Total Times Picked: 3
Average Last Seen At: 3.44
Total Times Seen 21
Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: If this attacks, the game is over -- but it does cost 7 mana including triple Red, and it's relatively vulnerable, so that's far from a guarantee.
Icewind Elemental
Average Picked At: 10.00
Total Times Picked: 28
Average Last Seen At: 8.31
Total Times Seen 348
Pro Rating: 2.5
Pro Comment: 5-mana 3/4 Flyers have held up pretty well in Limited, and a loot trigger is pretty powerful.
Exsanguinate
Average Picked At: 11.80
Total Times Picked: 10
Average Last Seen At: 7.57
Total Times Seen 115
Pro Rating: 1
Pro Comment: You need a ton of mana before this is worth casting, and even then it doesn't impact the board.
