Pro Comment: This has mediocre stats for the cost, even with First Strike in the mix, but its ability does have an immediate impact on the board, sometimes even making your attacks better, and usually making it harder for your opponent to attack you on their turn. There is one pretty big downside here, though – the Skyguard dies to a whole lot of very cheap removal in the format. Its not uncommon to pay 6 for this and have it blanked by something that costs 3 or less.

Pro Comment: This is powerful if you drop it on turn three, but significantly less impressive when you get it in the late game. It doe still upgrade all future creatures you draw, but when you are drawing one card a turn and not hitting creatures, it can be pretty rough.

Pro Comment: You probably won’t have a second Growth-Chamber Guardian, but that’s okay, because a two mana 2/2 that can become a 4/4 later on in the game is a good Limited card anyway! If you do have more than one, it gets really silly.

Pro Comment: This isn’t the kind of planeswalker that works out in Limited. Her +1 and -1 are both far too narrow to do something meaningful consistently, and while it is fun to imagine using her +1 a few times and then firing off her ultimate, you just won’t be able to do it since she has no good way to protect herself, and you can’t even guarantee that you will have the cards to exile in the first place!

Pro Comment: The idea here is that this can set up your cards that have Spectacle. And, it can do that for sure, but its body is otherwise a pretty big liability, and the Rakdos decks don’t have that hard of a time of making sure Spectacle is online anyway. If your deck is really leading hard into the mechanic, Spear Spewer is a worthy inclusion, but it is by no means a necessity for those types of decks.

Pro Comment: These are pretty important in this format. As usual fixing is always nice, but this format also has a ton of excellent gate payoffs. Its kind of funny, but in this Limited format, the Gates are actually a little better than Shocklands, since the payoffs you can get for playing Gates are so good.

Pro Comment: This is a big overperformer. It can really alter combat in your favor, both during your turn and your opponents, while adding a pretty decent body to the board. It’s a great common.

Pro Comment: Edict effects are always pretty underwhelming in Limited, since board states tend to be pretty clogged up, especially in this format. If you really need removal, and have a decent number of creatures with 4 or more power, it is a decent card, but it is basically never more than that.

Pro Comment: There aren’t enough artifacts or defenders in this format for this to be main deck material.

Pro Comment: This thing is a nightmare to play against if you don’t have any Flyers. It will kill virtually anything it tangles with in combat. Deathtouch and indestructible is a nasty combination. And yeah, you do have to give up a creature to make that happen, but Orzhov has plenty of expendable creatures thanks to Afterlife.

Pro Comment: Getting two things back from your graveyard can be nice, but 5 mana is a big cost to pay, even at Instant speed.

Pro Comment: Casting this with the Addendum feels pretty good, as you end up breaking even on cards and getting some pretty good tempo, and you can of course cast it without the Addendum in a pinch – like if your opponent is trying to use a combat trick or something.

Pro Comment: This is mostly a sideboard card in this format. There just aren’t quite enough targets.

Pro Comment: If you’re really going wide, this isn’t a terrible inclusion, but only the most aggressive decks are going to be interested in this.

Pro Comment: This just give you some card selection. And, that’s nice – but it is something people tend to overrate. The difference between drawing a card and putting one on top of your library is massive. This is a fine card, but don’t overrate it.

Pro Comment: This isn’t really worth it. The Scry isn’t enough, and playing a silly mini-game with it to steal your opponent’s stuff is rough. If your opponent has no way at all to produce Blue mana it definitely gets a little more interesting, but this format has such good mana that I wouldn’t count on them not having it.

Pro Comment: This card is a major overperformer, and another card that can really help control decks do their thing in this format. It looks like an Enchantment that doesn’t do enough up front, but the life drain it provides really makes it hard for your opponent to take you down. Basically, it will help you stabilize, and then gradually turn into your win condition in many games. Now, sometimes not adding to the board can be a real reliability against aggro decks, but this still does good work most of the time.
