Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: This is extra good in this format because this kills a huge percentage of the creatures very efficiently, because they are mostly small. Tacking on the life gain is pretty nice too!
Cacophodon

Total Times Picked: 1

Pro Rating: 2.0
Pro Comment: This has some pretty good defensive stats, but the Enrage trigger is fairly underwhelming.
Crafty Cutpurse
Average Picked At: 15.00
Total Times Picked: 0
Average Last Seen At: 5.00
Total Times Seen 7
Pro Rating: 0.5
Pro Comment: This is mostly just a 4-mana 2/2 with Flash. Even with a useful creature type, that’s not near good enough. It does have some uses, as tokens are around in the format, but the situations where you can actually utilize the Cutpurse to steal a token are few and far between. It could be worth siding in in a situation where your opponent has a ton of tokens, but that’s about it.
Deadeye Brawler
Average Picked At: 6.50
Total Times Picked: 2
Average Last Seen At: 4.70
Total Times Seen 20
Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: A 4-mana 2/4 with Deathtouch is already kind of a decent card, and when you get the City’s Blessing going, this feels pretty close to Shadowmage Infiltrator. Your opponent is going to be unable to interact with this in any way where they really come out ahead.
Sun-Crested Pterodon
Average Picked At: 8.50
Total Times Picked: 18
Average Last Seen At: 9.37
Total Times Seen 92
Pro Rating: 2.5
Pro Comment: This is a nice creature to have around in your Dinosaur decks. It is a very real attacker in the sky in the late game. Once it has vigilance, it can be a real problem for this format’s small creatures to attack through.
Vampire Revenant
Average Picked At: 10.78
Total Times Picked: 9
Average Last Seen At: 8.60
Total Times Seen 82
Pro Rating: 1.5
Pro Comment: These aren’t great stats, but it does have evasion and a useful creature type, so you could do worse.

Recover

Pro Rating: 1.5
Pro Comment: This is an alright thing to have one of in your Black decks. It is sort of like a Black Divination, in that it costs three to give you two cards. One of them comes from your graveyard, of course – but it will feel pretty similar.
Slippery Scoundrel
Average Picked At: 4.00
Total Times Picked: 3
Average Last Seen At: 5.40
Total Times Seen 18
Pro Rating: 3.0
Pro Comment: This is pretty bad in the early game, as it is just a Gray Ogre. However, once you have the Blessing, it turns into a nightmare for your opponent. Not only can they not block it, but it has hexproof! So it represents some very real inevitability.
Azor, the Lawbringer
Average Picked At: 15.00
Total Times Picked: 0
Average Last Seen At: 14.00
Total Times Seen 2
Pro Rating: 5.0
Pro Comment: A 6-mana 6/6 Flyer is a pretty powerful thing, so the additional upside here is big. Basically getting to cast Sphinx’s Revelation when Azor attacks is a pretty big deal! Even if you’re only drawing a single card it feels good, and more than that feels great! This is a bomb where your opponent does have to let you untap with it still in play for you to truly reap the rewards. Azor’s ETB ability doesn’t really do much to protect him, though it does mean your opponent has to use their removal on him during their own turn, and that matters sometimes. But yeah, this is definitely a bomb.
Orazca Frillback
Average Picked At: 10.36
Total Times Picked: 11
Average Last Seen At: 10.00
Total Times Seen 105
Pro Rating: 1.5
Pro Comment: This has alright stats and a useful creature type, so it makes the cut sometimes.
Sworn Guardian
Average Picked At: 9.55
Total Times Picked: 11
Average Last Seen At: 10.80
Total Times Seen 117
Pro Rating: 1.0
Pro Comment: If you’re in a Merfolk deck, but short on cheap Merfolk, this can do the job, but for the most part you hope you get all the better Merfolk in the set!
Curious Obsession
Average Picked At: 2.50
Total Times Picked: 4
Average Last Seen At: 3.33
Total Times Seen 10
Pro Rating: 4.0
Pro Comment: This is quite powerful, and can quickly lead to you getting a massive lead. The cost is very reasonable, and if you can just put this on a creature that is guaranteed to get in the turn you play it, you’re going to feel pretty good. And the good news is, Blue has lots of creatures where that will be the case! If you get in with this more than once, it is going to be pretty hard for you to lose.
Forerunner of the Heralds
Average Picked At: 6.00
Total Times Picked: 1
Average Last Seen At: 3.00
Total Times Seen 10
Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: This is the best card in this cycle for Limited. It helps that the Merfolk deck is probably also the strongest one in the format – but the Merfolk payoff here is really good, as +1/+1 any time you have one enter the battlefield is a big deal, especially when you are putting more than one in play at a time, which a few cards int his format are capable of doing. Tutoring up one of your more potent Merfolk payoffs is not shabby either.
Frilled Deathspitter
Average Picked At: 7.38
Total Times Picked: 8
Average Last Seen At: 7.26
Total Times Seen 61
Pro Rating: 2.5
Pro Comment: This is a decent aggressive creature. It tends to damage your opponent no matter what they do, and that’s always nice in an aggro deck.
Kumena, Tyrant of Orazca
Average Picked At: 8.00
Total Times Picked: 1
Average Last Seen At: 8.00
Total Times Seen 1
Pro Rating: 4.5
Pro Comment: UG is virtually always a Merfolk deck in this format, so Kumena doesn’t really need a build around grade. He is a pretty impressive card in those decks, because he has a whole slew of abilities that are quite powerful. The most exciting ones, though, do cost three and five merfolk to do, and while that’s certainly doable, there will be times he comes down and can’t immediately use those abilities. That said, the baseline here is great, and in the mid-to-late game he’ll take things over. I think he does just enough to be a bomb.
Voracious Vampire
Average Picked At: 8.43
Total Times Picked: 7
Average Last Seen At: 8.52
Total Times Seen 77
Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: This is a surprisingly strong Common, and really the key Common for Vampire decks in this format. +1/+1 and Menace is a very strong boost, and the fact you also get to add this menace creature to the board at the same time is a big deal.
Kitesail Corsair
Average Picked At: 6.15
Total Times Picked: 13
Average Last Seen At: 6.50
Total Times Seen 53
Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: This is perhaps Blue’s best Common. This is a great two drop that attacks well all game long, and it’s a great place to put Equipment or Auras like Curious Obsession.
Temple Altisaur
Average Picked At: 15.00
Total Times Picked: 0
Average Last Seen At: 2.00
Total Times Seen 1
Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: This is pretty overcosted when it comes to stats, but on a lot of boards it can come down and really alter combat that turn, allowing you to attack with some Dinosaurs right away. It is unfortunate that it doesn’t count itself, though.
