Buried in the Garden
Average Picked At: 4.80
Total Times Picked: 5
Average Last Seen At: 3.36
Total Times Seen 25
Pro Rating: 4
Pro Comment: Ramping and fixing your mana while removing a nonland permanent is incredible.
Fierce Retribution
Average Picked At: 4.00
Total Times Picked: 9
Average Last Seen At: 3.91
Total Times Seen 38
Pro Rating: 2.5
Pro Comment: This is solid removal, but not much more.
Repulse
Average Picked At: 4.25
Total Times Picked: 4
Average Last Seen At: 4.14
Total Times Seen 25
Pro Rating: 3
Pro Comment: Drawing and bouncing for three mana at instant speed is a very good rate. You end up with tempo and you break even on cards, but it has blowout potential too.
Skullcrack
Average Picked At: 15.00
Total Times Picked: 0
Average Last Seen At: 5.56
Total Times Seen 9
Pro Rating: 1
Pro Comment: Burn that only hits players is pretty bad in Limited, as it has no impact on the board. It just isn't worth going down a card for 4 damage and nothing else.
Clear Shot
Average Picked At: 3.80
Total Times Picked: 5
Average Last Seen At: 3.15
Total Times Seen 13
Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: This is great removal that can sometimes create a 2-for-1.
Primal Command
Average Picked At: 3.00
Total Times Picked: 3
Average Last Seen At: 2.11
Total Times Seen 10
Pro Rating: 1.5
Pro Comment: This is just too clunky to be worthwhile in most decks. The only way you can imapct the board is with the second mode, but only hitting noncreature permanents is a pretty big problem.
Mindbreak Trap
Average Picked At: 15.00
Total Times Picked: 0
Average Last Seen At: 3.33
Total Times Seen 3
Pro Rating: 0
Pro Comment: This is basically an inefficient counterspell. People rarely put enough stuff on the stack in Limited for this to be more than a bad one-for-one.
Ride Down
Average Picked At: 7.00
Total Times Picked: 7
Average Last Seen At: 6.22
Total Times Seen 51
Pro Rating: 2.5
Pro Comment: This is pretty nice in all-out aggressive Red-White decks, but too situational for anything else.
Tyrant's Scorn
Average Picked At: 11.50
Total Times Picked: 4
Average Last Seen At: 5.33
Total Times Seen 44
Pro Rating: 3
Pro Comment: Neither mode is incredible for the cost, but if you can't kill a small creature with it, at least you can bounce it.
Thornado
Average Picked At: 9.75
Total Times Picked: 4
Average Last Seen At: 7.17
Total Times Seen 54
Pro Rating: 0.5
Pro Comment: Even with a cycling mode, Plummet just isn't worth it in the main deck.
Archmage's Charm
Average Picked At: 15.00
Total Times Picked: 0
Average Last Seen At: 5.11
Total Times Seen 11
Pro Rating: 2.5
Pro Comment: This is pretty hard to cast, but each of the modes is pretty good for the cost.
Contagion Engine
Average Picked At: 15.00
Total Times Picked: 0
Average Last Seen At: 3.00
Total Times Seen 1
Pro Rating: 4
Pro Comment: This impacts the board immediately in a big way, and it quickly wittles away anything that survived the ETB.
Mindslaver
Average Picked At: 15.00
Total Times Picked: 0
Average Last Seen At: 3.00
Total Times Seen 1
Pro Rating: 4
Pro Comment: It's a little slow, but if you get to activate it, it's pretty hard for you to lose. You send all of your opponent's creature in for some terrible attacks, point their own removal at their creatures, and so on.
Commandeer
Average Picked At: 11.00
Total Times Picked: 1
Average Last Seen At: 5.93
Total Times Seen 17
Pro Rating: 0
Pro Comment: This is too situational and expensive. Casting it for free isn't super easy or worth it in Limited, either.
Oko, Thief of Crowns
Average Picked At: 1.00
Total Times Picked: 1
Average Last Seen At: 1.00
Total Times Seen 1
Pro Rating: 5
Pro Comment: This rating comment was turned into an Elk.
Murder
Average Picked At: 2.00
Total Times Picked: 1
Average Last Seen At: 2.80
Total Times Seen 15
Pro Rating: 2.5
Pro Comment: This isn't the premium removal it once was, but it's still pretty solid.
Reanimate
Average Picked At: 3.00
Total Times Picked: 1
Average Last Seen At: 2.80
Total Times Seen 5
Pro Rating: 4
Pro Comment: One mana to reanimate is insane, especially when it gives you access to both graveyards. You're always going to get your mana's worth, and losing some life is well worth the efficiency. Sometimes it will let you do something truly insane.
Imp's Mischief
Average Picked At: 10.00
Total Times Picked: 1
Average Last Seen At: 5.57
Total Times Seen 10
Pro Rating: 2
Pro Comment: It's super situational, but redirecting a removal spell is pretty juicy.
Detention Sphere
Average Picked At: 8.00
Total Times Picked: 2
Average Last Seen At: 5.11
Total Times Seen 10
Pro Rating: 4
Pro Comment: Hitting any nonland for three is awesome, and sometimes you'll be able to hit multiples or sweep away a bunch of tokens.
Fell the Mighty
Average Picked At: 2.50
Total Times Picked: 2
Average Last Seen At: 3.00
Total Times Seen 3
Pro Rating: 3
Pro Comment: This has an incredibly high ceiling, where you kill everything but your smallest creature. But it doesn't always line up that way. There are plenty of times where your opponent has more tiny creatures than you do, for example.
