Pro Comment: This is basically a vampire Serra Angel! Okay, obviously it isn’t quite as good as that, because you have to pay life to get those key words, but doing so if often quite powerful, and its nice that vampires have a life gain sub-theme that can help fuel this. This is a card that suffers a bit from how aggressive the format is, but its still pretty good.

Pro Comment: This is a nice attacker in the early game, and it has an ability that helps it remain relevant all game long. Being able to protect your creatures from removal – simply by leaving up a Blue mana – can really wreak havoc on your opponent

Pro Comment: This definitely has a powerful ability if you have enough Explore going on, and you can end up in BG decks in this format where that’s pretty doable. The trigger almost always has something to kill. However, you can’t really play this unless you have 8+ ways to Explore in your deck, and I think that means it needs a build around grade.

Pro Comment: This is surprisingly difficult to block profitably, and it comes with a very useful creature type.

Pro Comment: This card is insane. It’s a removal spell that also gives you the creature that you remove! You do need to untap and play that creature most of the time, but this still gives you insane value and is basically a 3-for-1, so it’s a bomb

Pro Comment: Stealing an opposing creature is one of the most powerful things you can do in Limited Magic, because you effectively remove your opponent’s creature while adding something to your own board. You do have to pay a lot of mana to steal some stuff, but paying 6 to take a 4-drop, for example, is absolutely massive. This is a bomb

Pro Comment: The majority of the value you’re going to get out of this is the ETB effect, which gives you some decent card selection. Once it flips it can produce a ton of mana, but its hard to find something to use that on

Pro Comment: This has passable stats and a useful enough creature type. It’s a decent two drop.

Pro Comment: This is an inefficient creature that tries to help you block, but blocking is not the most common thing in this format, so you’re not very interested

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.

Pro Comment: If you’re good at going wide, this can be a decent payoff, especially because the pseudo-vigilance that it gives you can really help alter a race. It is still an incredibly narrow card, though.

Pro Comment: This is clunky. With only 2 toughness it can die to a whole lot of cheap removal in the format. This format of course has a lot of creatures that die to that kind of removal, but most of the creatures that’s true about also cost a lot less, so it doesn’t feel quite as miserable when your opponent pays 1-2 mana to destroy this. This definitely does feel miserable, especially because you can end up a hurting your tempo at the same time, since you have to bounce something. You can, of course, bounce something that gives you value, but that’s not something that always lines up.

Pro Comment: Green has enough big creatures that Pounce is pretty reasonable. Keep in mind that it is an Instant, unlike most fight effects

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.

Pro Comment: This has a fairly powerful effect, as bouncing all of your opponent’s stuff obviously has a huge impact on the board. However, it is really only useful aggressively. If you use this just to slow your opponent down, you’re not going to be doing a great job – though it can do that, obviously enough. Ideally, you use it to help you get in with a big swing or even a lethal one

Pro Comment: It is pretty hard for your opponent to interact with this card without getting 2-for-1’d. The Enrage ability is just really good, and it has above-rate stats too. The high toughness makes it more doable to trigger it multiple times too

Pro Comment: This is obviously pretty nice as a Merfolk payoff, since it can buff a merfolk permanently – including itself, and it also gets a ton of value out of Hexproof. There are lots of ways to Buff merfolk, and if you do it on the Guardian, you know your opponent has very little chance of dealing with it. It gets particularly spicy if you have Auras and stuff to put on it, as it gets you around the normal downside that kind of spell has

Pro Comment: A 5/5 is huge in this format, so tacking on Haste and Trample makes for a pretty monstrous creature, one that can end games on its own

Pro Comment: This is a beefy Vehicle which is nice, because all it needs to do to transform into a powerful land is attack. Crew 4 is definitely a lot, but it isn’t that hard and once this transforms it ends up being a very powerful utility land
