Pro Comment: This really underperformed last time, but I'm cautiously optimistic. This format doesn't look crazy fast, and drawing an extra card every turn is a very big advantage.

Pro Comment: This is never good. It's tempting to see it as efficient and flexible, but giving your opponent a 1/1 means you always end up behind. You really have to always be killing a huge bomb for that cost to be worth it, and that's not how it pans out.

Pro Rating: 4.5
Pro Comment: Even without threshold I'd be very excited about a three mana 3/2 that loots twice when it enters, and that threshold trigger is a game-ender.

Pro Comment: It's been awhile since a 4-mana 3/3 Flyer was exciting, and this life gain payoff is underwhelming.

Pro Rating: 3
Pro Comment: This is mostly a 6-mana 5/5 flyer in Limited, as you're just not going to be doing enough noncombat damage to players for this to go wild.
Thrill of Possibility
Average Picked At: 9.88
Total Times Picked: 34
Average Last Seen At: 8.62
Total Times Seen 340
Pro Rating: 2
Pro Comment: This is always a decent card, especially in spell decks that can use it to chain multiple spell triggers together.
Frenzied Goblin
Average Picked At: 10.59
Total Times Picked: 17
Average Last Seen At: 7.21
Total Times Seen 128
Pro Rating: 2.5
Pro Comment: This can definitely let an aggro deck get through for a big attack, even in the late game.
Spectral Sailor
Average Picked At: 4.73
Total Times Picked: 11
Average Last Seen At: 3.72
Total Times Seen 43
Pro Rating: 3
Pro Comment: This is a great one drop that can chip in for damage early, and in the late game it has a nice mana sink ability.
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.
Sphinx of Forgotten Lore

Total Times Picked: 3
Average Last Seen At: 1.00
Total Times Seen 3
Pro Rating: 5
Pro Comment: A 4-mana 3/3 with flash and Flying is a very good card, and being able to flash back your spells is massive. Because of Flash, you'll often be able to get one attack in before your opponent ever has a chance to take it down, at which point they are probably too far behind anyway.
Giada, Font of Hope
Average Picked At: 1.25
Total Times Picked: 4
Average Last Seen At: 1.12
Total Times Seen 8
Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: A two mana 2/2 with Flying and Vigilance is great, and there are enough Angels in the set that the upside will be relevant sometimes.
Cackling Prowler
Average Picked At: 8.00
Total Times Picked: 35
Average Last Seen At: 7.65
Total Times Seen 344
Pro Rating: 2.5
Pro Comment: A 4-mana 4/3 with Ward 2 is pretty decent, as the Ward heps offset some of the problems of that stat-line, and it gives it more time to grow.
Heartfire Immolator
Average Picked At: 4.53
Total Times Picked: 19
Average Last Seen At: 4.12
Total Times Seen 55
Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: A two mana 2/2 with Prowess is a nice two-drop, and this can turn into removal when you need it to.
Juggernaut
Average Picked At: 10.00
Total Times Picked: 13
Average Last Seen At: 7.61
Total Times Seen 136
Pro Rating: 1.5
Pro Comment: If you need a 4-drop you can probably do worse, but how often are you desperate for a 4 drop in Limited?

Micromancer
Average Picked At: 5.86
Total Times Picked: 22
Average Last Seen At: 4.73
Total Times Seen 76
Pro Rating: 1 // 3.5
Pro Comment: You need to have two spells this can tutor up for it to be worth it, and if you get there -- you're going to be really happy with this card.
Dazzling Angel
Average Picked At: 3.77
Total Times Picked: 48
Average Last Seen At: 3.67
Total Times Seen 143
Pro Rating: 3
Pro Comment: This is a solid stat-line and the incidental life gain is going to feel good in go-wide and lifegain decks in the format.
Ashroot Animist

Pro Comment: This is going to send a ton of trample damage your opponents way the turn after you play it.
Elementalist Adept
Average Picked At: 9.61
Total Times Picked: 31
Average Last Seen At: 8.07
Total Times Seen 329
Pro Rating: 2
Pro Comment: 1 toughness prowess creatures can underperform, since they often need two triggers to survive being block by a 2/2, but Flash being in the mix helps make it more likely you can find a window to get in with it.
Hero's Downfall
Average Picked At: 3.00
Total Times Picked: 17
Average Last Seen At: 2.78
Total Times Seen 40
Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: This is premium removal. It's a little hard to cast at times, but answering creatures or planeswalkers for three mana is great on an instant.
