Pro Comment: A 4-mana 4/4 is a pretty solid rate, and this can transform into a creature that can drastically upgrade another attacker every time it gets in there.

Pro Comment: Giving a counter and lifelink until end of turn to something on ETB isn’t too bad, but a 4-mana 3/3 with Lifelink is not a good deal. It sort of feels like both options are a little overcosted here.

Pro Comment: Lately, a 4-mana card that gets you two lands from your graveyard has been too clunky to work effectively in Limited. However, unlike most cards that do that, this does have the potential to add meaningfully to the board. If you can play this and flip it in the near future, getting that 4/4 body will make a big deal. That said, you won’t always be able to get that done consistently in Limited.

Pro Comment: We have seen this card before, only without the battle part, and it is always premium removal for Green because it can deal with things so efficiently. You always run the risk of getting 2-for-1’d when you cast it if you aren’t careful, but because this is an Instant, finding a spot where your opponent can’t respond is relatively easy.

Pro Comment: This is a great removal spell. Two mana for 3 damage is premium even at Sorcery speed, and this is an Instant that also gives you a bit of card selection. The ability to hit more than just creatures is great upside too.

Pro Comment: You probably need to paying 5 or less actual mana for this to really feel like you’re getting there. Luckily, that’s quite doable! And getting this down even easier than that isn’t impossible either.

Pro Comment: A 5-mana ¾ with Haste is…not exactly good – it is probably a 1.0 at best. If your opponent has a target for the other mode this can do some work. Problem is there will be enough boards where this is just an inefficient creature with no good targets.

Pro Comment: For the front side to be worth it on its own, you’re going to need to have some Enchantments in your graveyard, and that is not a foregone conclusion. The good news is, any deck is going to be able to transform Heliod, which basically makes it a 4-mana 4/4 with big upside – which makes for a great card! Giving all your spells Flash and making them cost at least 1 less during your opponent’s turn is incredible!

Pro Comment: This is basically Tormenting Voice with a bunch of upside, and that certainly seems solid. Once transformed, you get a creature that is pretty insane, as churning out elementals, buffing your board and giving it haste is amazing.

Pro Comment: Notably, this is a free sacrifice ability, and those always play quite impressively. It makes it a real pain to ever know what’s going to happen when this is on the battlefield. Now, it does restrict the effect to only Phyrexians, but if you’re in Black-White that will be most of your creatures. It can gobble up the plentiful incubator tokens too, although they do need to be transformed. But yeah, even if you have 0 other Phyrexians in your deck, we’re talking about a three mana 3/2 that leaves a body behind, which is already great.

Pro Comment: This has a really neat design that does a rummage-type thing but combines it with impulsive draw, and it has the potential to give you a lot of extra cards, but this also has some real potential to be very awkward in Limited. If you are paying 4 mana for this thing doesn’t impact the board immediately, you really need to be getting at least a few cards you can use, but you’re not guaranteed to have enough cards in your hand to actually make that happen. Once it transforms it does become a pretty insane Enchantment, but this seems clunky and awkward overall.

Pro Comment: A 5-mana 4/4 with these keywords is already pretty close to a bomb, so the fact that you get to put a counter on something and give it those same keywords until end of turn really means this is a bomb. It gives you some serious value up front, so even if it goes down, you’re going to be coming out ahead most of the time, and if it doesn’t go down – you’re just going to win.

Pro Comment: A 5-mana 4/5 is a 2.0 at the very best, but this one transforms into a pretty scary 7/5 with Menace, something that is going to be a problem on most boards.

Pro Comment: This has great base stats and has the ability to give you a whole lot of creature tokens, and is certainly a must-kill threat as a result. Obviously it is best suited to Blue-Red, but it is going to be really good in any deck that plays it. I think this is a bomb.

Pro Comment: An Instant speed effect that has your creature damage an opponent’s creature is usually a very nice card and this simultaneously gets around two downsides this kind of card often has. First, because you get to use two of your creatures, you will be able to take down even very large creatures with two smaller ones. Second, because it uses two creatures, you can set it up so that you don’t get 2-for-1’d if your opponent can interact in response. Add in the fact that this can also damage battles and you have an amazing removal spell that is quite easily premium.

Pro Comment: You can sort of look at this as a 5-mana 3/3 that draws you a card, and you can pay for it in installments. That’s not too bad, but it isn’t exactly something special either.

Pro Comment: Just the frontside is a really strong card. Giving up creatures or artifacts to drain the opponent’s life is a great way to close out a game. There will be situations where you can’t take full advantage of that ability, but the baseline is still a three mana 3/3 – and the card still has some other upside! If you’re in a spot where the ability on the front isn’t doing anything, you can simply transform Ayara, and she can help you do some damage by bringing back creatures or artifacts.

Pro Comment: These keywords make this hard to block. The extra land effect is usually not very impressive in Limited, but when you can drop a land after playing this it will feel nice, especially because you can give up that land later to draw a card! Making your opponent’s creatures enter tapped means it will be easier for you to push damage through, and the nonbasic land upside will come up some too
