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: 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: You need lots of high toughness creatures, especially because this will even make your creatures with lower toughness than power do damage equal to their toughness, and that’s rough. It wasn’t particularly easy to make it work back in Ravnica Allegiance, and I don’t imagine it has that impressive of a ceiling here either.

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: 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’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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: So, they want you to give up a Clue to make three 1/1 Goblins, and that doesn’t seem bad, especially because the Blue-Red deck has plenty of sacrifice stuff going on.

Pro Comment: There aren’t enough Goblins in this sit for the Warchief to be worth it. It is a three mana 2/2 with Haste on its own, but that’s pretty bad.

Pro Comment: This ultimately gives you two cards, but it takes some time and some serious mana to get there, and Black isn’t exactly a color super into doing stuff with artifacts in this set, so I don’t see this as being particularly useful.

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: 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.
