Pro Comment: This is a nice build around for 4 power or more decks, and it can turn into a real card-drawing engine in the right deck. Now, you probably need 5+ cards with 4 or more power, and while that’s doable in RG, I think this still needs a build around grade.

Pro Comment: This kind of card is always one you would like one of in your Black decks, but you don’t want to go after them too early. They aren’t very good early, but in the late game they can really help you restock your hand and get ahead of your opponent.

Pro Comment: This is a fine draw spell if you’re a control deck in the market for one of those.

Pro Comment: This effect just isn’t worth it in your average Limited deck. It will gain you a fairly negligible amount of life, something like 5-7 a game on average. Even with a life gain archetype, this isn’t worth it.

Pro Comment: This flying horse is great because it offers good defensive stats as long as you need it to, and when it is time to go on the offensive it can send a lot of damage up in the air. You’ll play as many of these as you can get your hands on in creature-heavy white decks.

Pro Comment: This is the kind of card people tend to really overrate – “indestructible until end of turn” does seem pretty sweet, but the boost it gives you to power is really unimpressive. Sure, it lets your whole board survive almost no matter what, but if you want a go-wide payoff, it is way better to go with Inspired Charge, since it gives a much bigger stats boost – which is more valuable than indestructibility in most cases. Now, this does have additional applications – you can use it to blank a removal spell for example, but it is still highly situational, and not nearly as useful as you would think.

Pro Comment: There are enough Zombies and Skeletons in this set – even at lower rarities – that the lord effect actually comes up sometimes, making this a pretty nice card. Skeleton Archer + Baron is one of the sweetest things around.

Pro Comment: Murder is always incredibly good. 3-mana at instant speed to kill anything is great. Sure, you can’t really splash it, but that’s probably a good thing for the health of the format!

Pro Comment: This is better than it looks. The random effect is frustrating for sure, but you get to decide what to get rid of on each side, and most of the time this is enough for you to come out ahead. Basically, it is more upside than downside, and we’re already talking about a 6-mana 6/6 flyer! The random aspect does keep it from being a bomb, but its close.

Pro Comment: This kind of effect always seems like it would be really flexible – after all, you can make their best creature a copy of the worst creature on the board, or make your worse creature a copy of the best creature on the board, right? Well…yeah, but this effect often just doesn’t matter. Any effect where you use up a card and don’t get a card’s worth of value is suspect, and that’s how this will feel a lot of the time. It basically has two options: It is either a bad removal spell or a bad Aura for enhancing one of your creatures. Now, that modality does mean this is playable, I’m just saying don’t get caught up on the best case scenarios.

Pro Comment: A 4-mana 4/2 menace is some pretty aggressive stats. A lot of the time he will at least get you a 2-for-1, thanks to that Menace. Menace creatures are always super amazing with combat tricks too, since you KNOW your opponent has to set themselves up for a 2-for-1 if they want to kill it. So this will be a nice pick up for aggressive black decks, but it’s nothing special.

Pro Comment: I’m disappointed this doesn’t give some toughness boost – that always helps make these things better, since it can help a creature survive a combat it might not have been able to otherwise. Still, making a 2/2 knight with every attack is nice, and you can make sure that you have a steady stream to put this on. I think the card advantage the Knights will give you makes this a pretty nice piece of equipment.

Pro Comment: This is pretty hard to make work, even in a format with an artifact archetype. A lot of the Artifacts in this format that you play for that deck are cheap, so you will often pay 4 to draw like 1-2 cards, and you don’t want to do that. There are exceptions to this of course, and sometimes you’ll end up with a deck that can take more advantage, but it is pretty darn hard to do in this format.

Pro Comment: You can main deck this in this format if you’re really in need of playables, as there are enough good Artifacts and Enchantments running around, but it is still going to be more well-suited to your sideboard, where it will feel pretty good to bring in against some opponents.

Pro Comment: 6-mana for a 4/4 with flying and Haste seems pretty good to me. Not the most interesting card to talk about – just some good stats and keyword abilities. Still, it is a 6 drop and isn’t super impressive or anything.

Pro Comment: A 5-mana 4/3 flyer is something you pretty much always play, so adding the fact that it gains you 2 life each time it attacks makes it really good. It slots well into both BW lifegain and UW flyers.
