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

Pro Comment: This is a great Graveyard enabler, and if you milled something you really want in your hand it can get it back for you, while also sporting some passable stats.

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: 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: Yeah…no thanks. Sure, you can use it on yourself to set up Collect Evidence, or try to mill your opponent out, but it takes a long time to do either of those things effectively and it does literally nothing else.

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: You get two nice pieces of material for only one mana, and you even add something to the board! This format has tons of payoffs for Clues too. This gives you so much value for only a single mana.

Pro Comment: Getting Metalcraft is definitely possible for Red decks, and that certainly does something to break the symmetry of this wheel effect, to some degree at least. The bad news is your opponent is still likely to take advantage of all those sweet new cards before you do, since you spent mana casting this first. When you don’t have Metalcraft, this is outright bad.

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: Even if you pay the full 5 mana, you’re getting a solid deal, and improvising to play this more cheaply is pretty easy.

Pro Comment: There are Vampires in this set, but not really enough for this to be worthwhile when it has such an underwhelming statline. Even in a Vampire-heavy set this didn’t perform that well.

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: They want to use this to enable graveyard shenanigans, but the boost it offers is so underwhelming that it just isn’t worth it – just like it wasn’t when it was printed originally in a set with Delirium.

Pro Comment: Syr Konrad has the potential to trigger a ton in this format because people will be milling themselves and removing creatures from their graveyard. It will be especially devastating in a mirror match, but even if you’re the only graveyard deck, Konrad will do some nice work.

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: The idea here is to give up your Clues to ping stuff, and that’s nice and all, but a 5-mana 4/4 body is pretty miserable these days.

Pro Comment: I always love this guy when we see it. When you cycle it, it’s basically a three mana draw 2 that gets you any basic land you want, and then later in the game you can play it as a big, albeit inefficient creature. It also works really well with Collect Evidence, as it puts itself in the graveyard early, making it easier for you to Collect Evidence 6 in the early stages of the game.

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.
