Taigam's Scheming
Average Picked At: 13.75
Total Times Picked: 4
Average Last Seen At: 9.96
Total Times Seen 80
Pro Rating: 0
Pro Comment: Loading the graveyard is important in Blue, but not so important that you want to play Taigam's Scheming. It makes you go down a card and you don't get anything back for it. There are better ways to load your graveyard.
Dragon's Eye Savants
Average Picked At: 9.67
Total Times Picked: 3
Average Last Seen At: 5.91
Total Times Seen 19
Pro Rating: 1.5
Pro Comment: Seeing your opponent's hand just isn't much of an effect, and neither a three mana 2/2 nor a two mana 0/6 is something you're excited about.
Siegecraft
Average Picked At: 12.83
Total Times Picked: 6
Average Last Seen At: 9.82
Total Times Seen 80
Pro Rating: 0
Pro Comment: This offers a mediocre stats boost and doesn't do enough to overcome the massive risk of getting 2-for-1'd.
Take Up Arms
Average Picked At: 5.00
Total Times Picked: 3
Average Last Seen At: 6.43
Total Times Seen 9
Pro Rating: 2
Pro Comment: This isn't the best rate for getting three 1/1 tokens, even at Instant speed. Buf if you need to go wide, it can do the job.
Summit Prowler
Average Picked At: 11.75
Total Times Picked: 4
Average Last Seen At: 8.64
Total Times Seen 71
Pro Rating: 2
Pro Comment: This is surprisingly solid. This stat-line was better back in 2014 and it's a nice enabler for Ferocious.
Disowned Ancestor
Average Picked At: 9.50
Total Times Picked: 2
Average Last Seen At: 5.00
Total Times Seen 40
Pro Rating: 2.5
Pro Comment: This having high toughness is pretty nice in a format with a toughness-matters archetype, and it's toughness can get high in a hurry.
Nomad Outpost
Average Picked At: 1.75
Total Times Picked: 4
Average Last Seen At: 1.80
Total Times Seen 6
Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: These tri-lands are fairly high picks, as you're going to find yourself running three colors in virtually every deck since doing so gives you access to powerhouses like the Charms. These make that much easier on your mana base.
Mantis Rider
Average Picked At: 1.00
Total Times Picked: 1
Average Last Seen At: 2.00
Total Times Seen 4
Pro Rating: 4
Pro Comment: If you can consistently cast this on turn three, it is pretty awesome. While it does get less impressive later in the game, it's keyword abilities almost always mean it's relevant.
Opulent Palace
Average Picked At: 3.00
Total Times Picked: 3
Average Last Seen At: 3.12
Total Times Seen 10
Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: These tri-lands are fairly high picks, as you're going to find yourself running three colors in virtually every deck since doing so gives you access to powerhouses like the Charms. These make that much easier on your mana base.
Goblinslide
Average Picked At: 8.00
Total Times Picked: 2
Average Last Seen At: 6.36
Total Times Seen 17
Pro Rating: 1.0 // 3.5
Pro Comment: This is a very powerful build around. Jeskai decks already want to run lots of spells, and tacking a Goblin on to those is huge. You can't really play it without a critical mass of spells, though.
Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker
Average Picked At: 1.00
Total Times Picked: 1
Average Last Seen At: 1.00
Total Times Seen 1
Pro Rating: 5
Pro Comment: You're usually going ot use the -3 up front so you can protect him and get something out of him right away -- then, if your opponent can't take him down, you're swinging for 8 in the air on your next turn. That's not easy to beat, and the fail case is pretty darn good too.
Watcher of the Roost
Average Picked At: 6.38
Total Times Picked: 8
Average Last Seen At: 5.89
Total Times Seen 13
Pro Rating: 3
Pro Comment: This has passable stats and often amounts to being a three mana 2/1 flyer that gains you 2 life, and that's a nice card.
Rotting Mastodon
Average Picked At: 11.67
Total Times Picked: 3
Average Last Seen At: 9.52
Total Times Seen 71
Pro Rating: 1.5
Pro Comment: High toughness matters in Black in this format, so this makes the cut on occasion.
Ainok Bond-Kin
Average Picked At: 3.25
Total Times Picked: 4
Average Last Seen At: 2.87
Total Times Seen 22
Pro Rating: 3
Pro Comment: Like the other Outlast lords, this one gives you a decent baseline and is a great place to sink your mana.
Kin-Tree Invocation
Average Picked At: 5.00
Total Times Picked: 4
Average Last Seen At: 4.83
Total Times Seen 7
Pro Rating: 4
Pro Comment: There are enough cheap high toughness creatures in the format that the Invocation ends up making a super efficient token with regularity. Getting a turn two 4/4 isn't unheard of, and it scales as the game goes on in most cases.
Snowhorn Rider
Average Picked At: 7.12
Total Times Picked: 8
Average Last Seen At: 7.05
Total Times Seen 48
Pro Rating: 3
Pro Comment: Like most Morphs with size, turning this face up can wreck combat or make your opponent take more damage than they expected out of nowhere.
Tomb of the Spirit Dragon
Average Picked At: 12.33
Total Times Picked: 3
Average Last Seen At: 10.29
Total Times Seen 32
Pro Rating: 0
Pro Comment: Gaining a bit of life off of your morph creatures isn't worth diluting your mana base, especially in a format where you really want to have good mana for three-color decks.
Bitter Revelation
Average Picked At: 9.60
Total Times Picked: 5
Average Last Seen At: 8.17
Total Times Seen 65
Pro Rating: 2
Pro Comment: This lets you see a ton of cards, and loads your graveyard. It's a bit clunky, but many black decks do well with the first copy.
Trail of Mystery
Average Picked At: 15.00
Total Times Picked: 0
Average Last Seen At: 2.00
Total Times Seen 1
Pro Rating: 1.0 // 3.0
Pro Comment: If you have a critical mass of Morph this can be pretty strong, fixing, drawing cards, and buffing your creatures. It isn't that easy to make that happen, though.
Awaken the Bear
Average Picked At: 6.43
Total Times Picked: 7
Average Last Seen At: 8.50
Total Times Seen 74
Pro Rating: 2
Pro Comment: This is a little expensive for what it does, but it has enough upside that it's a trick that makes the cut reasonably often.
