Pro Comment: There are enough ways to make tokens in the Cabaretti that this is going to be pretty nice, and either of these options is definitely going to be an upgrade, since most of the tokens in this set are just vanilla 1/1s. The haste option seems particularly spicy, since it can add a ton of damage out of nowhere, but sometimes you’ll want the 3/1s too. Since the base-line here is a 3-mana 3/3 and it is a Cabaretti card, I don’t really think this needs a build around. It just seems like it will do what its supposed to in most version of that deck.

Pro Comment: This is mostly a sideboard card to bring in against an opponent with many expensive spells. Most of the time, it just doesn’t have enough targets. If this format turns out to lean pretty hard on spells with a mana value of 4 or greater that could change.

Pro Comment: It is going to be very hard to take advantage of this card in Limited. The mana cost itself is a bit of a challenge, even in this set, and then you have to make sure your deck has enough three color cards in it to actually do something with the top 10 cards of your library! Even in a set this focused on three-color factions, that’s going to be a challenge. And they have to have the right mana values so that the mana this gives you will allow you to pay for them. You probably need to cast at least two spells with it to feel like you’re even doing a decent job, and even that is far from a guarantee.

Pro Comment: Unsurprisingly, this card looks really good. If you already have something in play, Elspeth offers a huge upgrade with her +1, which will get you a +1/+1 counter and a keyword ability counter. That upgrade is massive! Giving something vigilance means you can attack and still protect Elspeth which is pretty sweet, and all the other keywords have their place too. And you probably will often just start there. However, even on an empty board or one where she isn’t well-protected, she can use her -3 to find something to put on the table with a shield counter. That counter will really allow that creature to do a good job of protecting her so she can live another day. You do need to make sure you have a decent number of 3 or less creatures around to really take full advantage of her -3, but most decks will be able to. Not she can grab any permanent with a mana value of 3 or less, but the shield counter won’t do much on other permanents and other permanents are less likely to protect her. But uh, yeah. She’s going to be tough to beat when she comes down, whichever of her initial abilities she uses. And, on top of that, she can get to the point where she makes an Angel army pretty quickly!

Pro Comment: In the early game, this is two mana to draw two and discard one, and if you do a good job of loading up your graveyard with different mana values, it becomes a two mana draw two. Like I’ve said about all of these cards that check for five mana values in the graveyard – it will be doable, but not super easy to get them going early.

Pro Comment: These offer good fixing, and being able to pitch them for a whole card in the late game is really nice, as it offers you some flood insurance and gives you somethign to do with all your mana. Like most duals, this is something you should value as a C+. It will really help your mana, and that’s more important than normal in a set with a big 3-color focus.

Pro Comment: I always love creatures who bounce a creature or other permanent when they ETB – it just feels great to add to your board while setting your opponent back at the same time. I think even without connive this would probably be at least a C, and I think the connive upside here is pretty huge. You either loot your way into a card you want, or discard something to make this a 4/3 – and a lot of the things that you can discard in the format give you graveyard value. I think this is one of Blue’s best Uncommons – if not THE best.

Pro Comment: Like the rest of this cycle, exiling this gives you some fixing that isn’t great, but because you can also just cast it the normal way and get passable value – or you can play it from exile in the later game.

Pro Comment: This Vivien looks great. She can protect herself by using her -1 to generate large tokens, and her +2 and +1 abilities both give you some pretty nice effects. The +2 can help you Birthing Pod creatures in play to replace them with something better, and her +1 will often draw you a couple of cards. So yeah, she protect herself and draws you cards, and those are the kinds of things you want your planeswalkers to do. She’s a bomb.

Pro Comment: A two mana 2/2 with Flying and Vigilance is already a 3.0 at the very worst, and she has some upside that will actually be relevant some of the time. There are a decent number of Angels in this set, even at lower rarities so that part of the card will definitely come up.

Pro Comment: This blocks better than it used to but is much less useful as an attacker. However, it does still freeze down an opposing creature a huge chunk of the time, as the format has plenty of counters between Connive and Shield counters.

Pro Comment: Even the rebalanced version of this card is pretty awful. It is just too challenging to first have this Aura and then a way to remove the creature. It isn’t that great of a deal in the first place, and it has to line up perfectly for it to do anything.

Pro Comment: The first mode on this is a nice removal spell, even if it is a little bit situational – and also a little dangerous if you try to use it when your opponent has mana up. Its also nice that this lets you have a real card in your deck that can also hate on Enchantments, or even be an instant speed divination.

Pro Comment: This looks like a solid Common. Cast the normal way, it gives you a 5-mana ⅘ – which isn’t great, but that’s the fail case of the card. It can do a lot more than that! You can of course put the counters on another creature, and that can add some significant additional damage to the board immediately. And if adding as much damage to the board as quickly as possible is your thing, you can Blitz this, which lets you ad ⅘ worth of stats to the board for only 4 mana, and then you get to draw a card to replace it! You’ll often be able to get close to a card of value out of it when you do Blitz it, so that’s not a bad deal, especially because it makes sure to leave something on the board even once it sacrifices itself.

Pro Comment: This looks pretty nice. What I like the most is that the turn you play it it will often already have some impact, as it will make one of your creatures into a much more formidable attacker. It can of course pump its own power too, so when it attacks its a 4/4, but you’re usually hoping for something spicier than that. It also pairs well with Blitz, as your opponent often won’t want to block a Blitzed creature, since you’ll be getting a card anyway when it dies and the creature isn’t sticking around for good, but Mr. Orfeo complicates that, since the creatures will be hitting harder.

Pro Comment: This has okay stats, and gives you some value out of the graveyard. That will be nice whether you mill it, discard it, or just have it die from being in play. Two mana to make a treasure is obviously not a great rate, but it does give you the potential to have fixing in just about any deck. I think this is going to be pretty easy to cut as decks will usually have good enough fixing without it, but it isn’t a disaster to play it either.

Pro Comment: These all offer really great fixing for a set with three color factions, and adding Cycling to the mix is actually a pretty big deal, because it means if you’re flooding late, this is a land you can just throw away. The fact they all have three land types also provides for some additional upside.

Pro Comment: A two mana ⅓ Flyer is usually kind of passable, and this comes with the pretty big Connive upside. Whether you just end up looting with this and discarding a land or discarding a nonland to give it a counter, you’re ending up with a pretty good deal. It won’t trigger all of the time of course, but because it checks to see if both players have cast a second spell, it does increase the chances of you getting Connive going with it. This will give you great card selection and be a super efficient creature most of the time.

Pro Comment: This is some more very nice fixing for the format, which isn’t a huge surprise since three colors is what this format is all about. This is basically a more narrow Evolving Wilds, but one that also gains you a life – and it doesn’t have to tap either, though that isn’t coming up much in Limited. You definitely will play these in a lot of your decks, as they’ll be nice for mana. They don’t have the late game upside of the dual land cycle, so I think I would rank them a little lower.
