Dire Fleet Hoarder
Pro Rating: 2.5
Pro Comment: This has decent stats, and it generally feels alright to trade it off and get a Treasure
One With the Wind
Pro Rating: 2.0
Pro Comment: Flying and +2/+2 for two mana is actually a really good rate on an Aura, and this format also has a couple of prime targets for it that are really hard to kill (Adanto Vanguard and Jade Guardian). This is an Aura you’ll actually play a decent chunk of the time
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.
Anointed Deacon
Pro Rating: 3.0
Pro Comment: This card is one of the ideal Common payoffs for the Vampire deck in this format. +2/+0 can really allow you to send in a whole lot of creatures, including tokens with lifelink, and in a pinch it can even just pump itself, though it is far better when you can use it to just keep sending in a threatening creature every turn
Rallying Roar
Pro Rating: 1.5
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.
Wildgrowth Walker
Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: Even if your deck only has a few cards with Explore, this is really good, as it has passable stats and the Explore payoff is pretty massive. Gaining that life is especially good at helping you turn the game into a grindy one, and the Walker getting bigger and bigger is a very big deal. If you end up with a lot of Explore, there’s a good chance this is the best card in your deck
Prying Blade
Pro Rating: 1.5
Pro Comment: This doesn’t give much of a boost for the cost, and getting Treasure isn’t enough to offset that fact
Entrancing Melody
Pro Rating: 4.5
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
Inspiring Cleric
Pro Rating: 3.0
Pro Comment: This has very solid stats and gains you a decent chunk of life. Just trading with it against aggressive decks feels pretty good, and the Vampire typing is important!
Dire Fleet Captain
Pro Rating: 3.0
Pro Comment: This tends to attack really hard in Black-Red decks, and that’s pretty much what this format is about!
Sky Terror
Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: This will strike terror into your opponent’s heart if you play it on turn two. This can sometimes go an entire game without being blockable thanks to the combination of Flying and Menace, and it often represents tons of damage.
Queen's Agent
Pro Rating: 1.0
Pro Comment: Most Explore card are pretty nice, but not this one. It justs costs too much mana for this format.
Merfolk Branchwalker
Pro Rating: 4.0
Pro Comment: This card either gives you a two mana 2/1 that draws you a card, or a two mana 3/2 with Surveil 1, and I would be pretty happy with either of those outcomes.
Angrath's Marauders
Pro Rating: 2.0
Pro Comment: The nice thing about this is that you can play it and it immediately has an impact on many boards, where you are able to attack a heck of a lot harder. The bad news is this costs 7 mana in a format where getting to that much mana is pretty difficult. It is also woefully inefficient in terms of its stats!
Colossal Dreadmaw
Pro Rating: 2.0
Pro Comment: This is a solid top-curve creature to have, and it is often the biggest thing when it comes down
Deeproot Warrior
Pro Rating: 2.5
Pro Comment: This is surprisingly difficult to block profitably, and it comes with a very useful creature type.
Hijack
Pro Rating: 1.5
Pro Comment: In some really aggressive decks this can do some work, but like all Threaten effects, it is a bit too situational to make the cut very often
Sunrise Seeker
Pro Rating: 1.5
Pro Comment: Most things with Explore are solid or better, but the cost here is just too much for it to ever be something you’re excited about, especially in a format that is often decided by lower drop creatures.
Emergent Growth
Pro Rating: 1.0
Pro Comment: We see cards like this a lot, and they are basically never worth it in Limited. It often results in being a super situational removal spell, and you don’t want that
Kinjalli's Caller
Pro Rating: 1.5
Pro Comment: You won’t end up playing this in all of your dinosaur decks. You have to end up in one that is really interested in ramp for it be worth it, and not all of them are.
