Firemind's Research
Pro Rating: 1.5
Pro Comment: Even with all the spells in this format, it is pretty tricky to make this work. It is just too hungry for change counters.
Haazda Marshal
Pro Rating: 2.5
Pro Comment: This does some pretty nice work if you play it early, especially if you do it alongside creatures who can Mentor it, so that it can attack more effectively. If it attacks and trades while giving you a 1/1 token, you’re doing a pretty good job!
Response // Resurgence
Pro Rating: 4.0
Pro Comment: Response is a pretty efficient, if conditional, removal spell, and that’s what you’re going to use on this one the vast majority of the time. But having the upside of giving your whole board key word abilities and an extra combat phase late is no joke, and can win the game in some situations.
Truefire Captain
Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: This is a nice mentor creature, and doing damage to players any time it gets damaged is sweet too, because it means just trading for this in combat will also hurt your opponent – as will burn spells they point at it.
Dawn of Hope
Pro Rating: 4.0
Pro Comment: This card can power itself, which is great! Cranking out lifelink tokens that can draw you cards is pretty nice, even with the significant mana investment, and if your deck has some additional ways to gain life, Dawn of Hope gets even better.
Goblin Locksmith
Pro Rating: 1.0
Pro Comment: This isn’t that far from just being Goblin Piker, a card you really hope you don’t play in Limited.
Bounty of Might
Pro Rating: 4.0
Pro Comment: Tricks usually aren’t that impressive in Limited, but this is a pretty insane trick. Distributing +9/+9 worth of stats amongst your creatures is massive, as it can generate huge blowouts where you help three creatures win combat – or it can lead to lethal damage out of nowhere! It doesn’t have the usual downside of tricks most of the time, because if your opponent kills one creature you use this on, you still have the other two, and it has way more upside than most tricks too!
Dead Weight
Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: This kills a whole lot of stuff in this format for only one mana – including significantly more expensive creatures, and that makes it pretty great.
Dream Eater
Pro Rating: 5.0
Pro Comment: This gives you so much for the investment. While a 4/3 isn’t the best creature for Ambush-blocking something, you can certainly do it sometimes, which feels really nasty since this thing also bounces a nonland permanent and you get to Surveil 4, which will drastically improve the quality of your draws. So yeah, you add a big threat to the board that also removes something from your opponent’s board, and you get to make sure you are drawing gas over your next few turns.
Connive // Concoct
Pro Rating: 4.0
Pro Comment: If you can target something with Connive, it is pretty dang powerful – even though the thing you steal has to be pretty small, you’re getting a big advantage! In a situation where you have something to reanimate though, Concoct can be pretty good too, and the Surveil helps you set that up sometimes.
Enhanced Surveillance
Pro Rating: 1.0
Pro Comment: Surveiling is pretty nice, but using a whole card to slightly improve all of your decks surveil effects isn’t a great plan, since that’s a pretty minor effect. Shuffling your graveyard into your library might be nice if your deck is the most insane Surveil deck ever, but most of the time it is best to steer clear of this.
Pitiless Gorgon
Pro Rating: 2.0
Pro Comment: Deathtouchers can trade with anything which is sweet – but the more they cost, the less impressive that becomes, since you won’t be getting a mana advantage out of a trade nearly as often.
Golgari Guildgate
Pro Rating: 2.5
Pro Comment: These are good fixing, but they get bonus points because there are several cards in the set that pay you off for playing Gates.
Price of Fame
Pro Rating: 4.0
Pro Comment: This is excellent removal. You won’t have many legendary creatures to target, but that’s fine, because 4 mana to kill any creature at Instant speed and Surveil 2 is absolutely premium.
Rampaging Monument
Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: This ends up growing a ton in this format, as you will just have a lot of multicolored cards, and this quickly turns into a threat with Trample in most decks.
Goblin Electromancer
Pro Rating: 3.0
Pro Comment: Reducing the cost of spells is a pretty big deal, so its nice that it comes in a two mana 2/2 package.
Chemister's Insight
Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: 4 mana to draw two isn’t great, but adding Jump-Start is a big deal! The UR deck in this format is all about spells, so the fact that Jump-Start cards give you two of those triggers is really nice, and getting to draw 4 off of this in the process is pretty nice.
Vicious Rumors
Pro Rating: 1.0
Pro Comment: This does a bunch of small stuff, but all of it is pretty irrelevant most of the time.
Gruesome Menagerie
Pro Rating: 0.0 // 2.5
Pro Comment: This might look like the usually mediocre vanilla creature that you’ll just never play…but it turns out that a 5-mana 4/5 is very reasonable in this format’s more controlling decks. It blocks a whole lot of stuff and even attacks surprisingly well.
Molderhulk
Pro Rating: 2.5
Pro Comment: This isn’t a bad Undergrowth payoff, and casting it for 5 or 6 is fairly doable. The land part of the card is mostly irrelevant though, so you’re basically just playing a big vanilla creature.
