Pro Comment: This is symmetrical, and your opponent is likely to reap the benefits before you do.

Pro Comment: This was a bomb last time, and it is is a bomb again. It’s easy to crew, it’s got great stats and it’s evasive, and looting will help you dig through your deck for what you need while loading your graveyard in a format where that really matters. It’s also colorless and goes great in any deck.

Pro Comment: You’re going to use this on yourself more than your opponent, especially if you’re collecting evidence – which is likely in Blue/Black. It does hurt your mana base a bit, and the utility it offers isn’t amazing, so you probably need a pretty good mana base and a lot of graveyard stuff to really want to use this.

Pro Comment: Ixidor's buff effect is symmetrical, which is a little awkward, but if you've gone hard on Disguise and feel that it's likely you'll have more face-down creatures than your opponents, he can work out okay.

Pro Comment: This is clunky for sure, but turning Clues into 4/4 Flyers seems like a great way to win longer games.

Pro Comment: This won’t make enough treasure to be worth a card or the mana, people just don’t double spell enough in Limited.

Pro Comment: This was bad in Strixhaven, no matter how much I wanted it to be good, and it’s pretty weird for this format, because Red/White isn’t a color pair with any Collect Evidence at lower rarities, so you can’t really go off by getting 3/2s, and the format doesn’t have Spirits either.

Pro Comment: Most of the time, this is going to trigger at least once but…that’s not a terribly exciting card. It’s mostly a bear with small upside.

Pro Comment: Not really enough Vampires around for this to be super good – but a three mana 2/2 First Strike is passable, and if you have a few vampires in your deck it’ll give you some nice additional value.

Pro Comment: On a lot of board states, this can get rid of a Clue for it never to be seen again, and it will sometimes be able to hit powerful permanents.

Pro Comment: This is a graveyard format for sure, and in the past Gnaw to the Bone has worked well in really grindy graveyard decks by buying them the time they need to grind out a win. I could see this filling a similar role here, but that means it needs a build around grade.

Pro Comment: Ideally, your deck has a couple of one drops in it for you to play the Captain – the good news is, they print lots of nice one drops these days, so it’s pretty likely this’ll draw you a card. It’s sacrifice ability isn’t amazing, but sometimes you just wanna make sure your opponent can’t interact and it can do that.

Pro Comment: If you can cast this, your opponent probably can’t win – but that’s not gonna happen much in Limited. It doesn’t even work as a reanimation target or Collect Evidence fodder either, since it gets shuffled into your deck.

Pro Comment: The Consign card is always a passable Limited card, and then once this is in the yard you can get a couple of cards out of your opponent’s hand. Also, this has a high mana value for Collect Evidence cards.

Pro Comment: This format has some nice nonbasics, but not so many that you really need to be running Ghost Quarter.

Pro Comment: Giving up a creature on the board for one in your hand is rarely worth it in Limited, though it gets a little more interesting with creature tokens

Pro Comment: This is cheap enough to be a pretty nice removal spell. Sure, you’ve gotta keep paying one, and your opponent does get windows where they’ll be able to use tap abilities and stuff like that, but this still gets something out of the way efficiently enough to be pretty nice.

Pro Comment: Black/White has the same theme as Mentor of the Meek – that is, 2 power or less stuff – and that works well with Disguise creatures. This can definitely give you some nice card advantage, but it doesn’t always line up nicely, and that’s a problem for a Gray Ogre.

Pro Comment: I wouldn’t count on making the alternate win condition part go off consistently, but it can definitely happen sometimes in this format. His +1 is nice, and you’re usually going to be milling yourself, so it does get you closer to that win condition! And obviously, the -8 is nice too. The bad news is he doesn’t do anything to protect himself or impact the board, and triple Blue is hard to get going.

Pro Comment: This has Basic Land cycling so it gives you some nice fixing, and it helps set up Collect Evidence, so it’s hard for this to be bad. In the extreme late game it can be a finisher too.
