Pro Comment: No matter which thing you get out of this, it feels really good. Its either a 3-mana 2/1 with First Strike that draws you a card, or a 3-mana 3/2 with First Strike that gives you a tiny bit of card selection. You would play either of those cards 100% of the time, so the fact it is going to be one of those is great.
Fathom Fleet Firebrand
Pro Rating: 3.0
Pro Comment: This has decent starting stats, and its ability to pump its power makes it surprisingly problematic as an attacker. Your opponent ends up just having to take the damage from it pretty often in this format, as this can trade pretty well thanks to that Firebreathing.
Kitesail Freebooter
Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: This has nice stats and it is highly disruptive, as taking your opponent’s best card from them on turn two is a big deal. You’re usually going to be taking removal, since if you don’t they will just kill your Freebooter in most cases, but that’s plenty good.
Dark Nourishment
Pro Rating: 3.0
Pro Comment: 5 mana is a lot for only 3 damage, but the good news is this can kill a whole bunch of creatures in this format, and the inefficiency is made up for by the fact you get to gain 3 life too. It doesn’t hurt that you can go after your opponent with it too!
Sentinel Totem
Pro Rating: 0.0
Pro Comment: There isn’t a real graveyard deck in this format, so you don’t even end up sideboarding this.
Deeproot Warrior
Pro Rating: 2.5
Pro Comment: This is surprisingly difficult to block profitably, and it comes with a very useful creature type.
Deadeye Tormentor
Pro Rating: 2.0
Pro Comment: When you can Raid with this, you’re often getting yourself a 2-for-1. However, you can’t always raid and this effect also isn’t that impressive later on in the game.
Tishana, Voice of Thunder
Pro Rating: 3.0
Pro Comment: She’s expensive, but she’s usually worth it since she draws you so many cards and will add a real body to the board. You do have to hope you get to untap to take full advantage of those cards, and that’s not always going to happen in this format, but this is an expensive card that is worth it sometimes.
Rigging Runner
Pro Rating: 2.5
Pro Comment: A one mana 1/1 with First Strike plays reasonably well in this format, and this is often a 2/2
Bonded Horncrest
Pro Rating: 3.0
Pro Comment: This thing is kind of a monster. This format has lots of smaller creatures, so a 4-mana 5/5 is pretty impressive. And sure, it comes with a downside, but you’re attacking a lot in this format anyway, so it isn’t hard to overcome
Snapping Sailback
Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: Flashing this in to block something with 3 or less power feels pretty awesome, as it will kill the attacker and give you a 5/5 when you untap, and the fail case is still a sizable dino that can threaten to grow.
Fleet Swallower
Pro Rating: 1.5
Pro Comment: This has sub-part stats for the cost, and its mill effect isn’t particularly good either. It might seem exciting to mill half of your opponent’s library, but this card alone isn’t enough to make a mill strategy viable in this format
Kopala, Warden of Waves
Pro Rating: 2.0
Pro Comment: Making spells cost more to target merfolk is definitely upside, but it isn’t that great in Limited, and this creature’s sub-par stats keep it from being something you want to go after aggressively
Gishath, Sun's Avatar
Pro Rating: 1.5 // 3.5
Pro Comment: This is pretty hard to cast in a format that is pretty fast, but this is very likely to pull you ahead if you can cast it, since you’ll generally put not only Gishath but some other dinosaur into play right away, and that’s hard for the decks in this format to punch through. Most decks can’t really swing it, though, so I think you need a buildaround grade here
Firecannon Blast
Pro Rating: 4.0
Pro Comment: This is an excellent Common. Even if it always did 3 it would be good, but you can get it do 6 pretty often, and that’s enough to kill almost everything in the format.
Sleek Schooner
Pro Rating: 2.0
Pro Comment: This is a nice little Vehicle that gives you nice stats for the cost and it is very easy to crew
Watertrap Weaver
Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: Creatures that freeze something down when they ETB are always nice, as they effectively give you something on the board while subtracting something from your opponent. It can really enable you an attack you didn’t already have, and it can also do a great job of helping you stabilize. This is an excellent Common
Thundering Spineback
Pro Rating: 2.5
Pro Comment: If you can play this and then untap you are going to be in good shape, as cranking out dinosaurs every turn is a big deal, as is pumping your Dinosaurs. But all high mana cards in this format get downgraded because the format is so aggressive.
Fire Shrine Keeper
Pro Rating: 1.5
Pro Comment: This is a decent attacker in the early game, and if it ever gets to the extreme late game, this has a powerful effect – but you won’t get there very often
Vraska, Relic Seeker
Pro Rating: 5.0
Pro Comment: A 5-mana 4/4 with Vigilance and Lifelink would be pretty solid in this format, since it can really wreak havoc on a race and help you gain enough life to endure your opponent’s aggressive onslaught. I mean, its basically Batterskull! So, the added ability to destroy nonland permanents is a pretty big deal. 7 life is a lot, but Vona will gain you that life on its own. Its also nice you can attack with it to gain 4 life, and then use the ability on the same turn. This is a bomb
