Pro Rating: 3.0 Pro Comment: This is some nice removal, as getting to cast it twice isn’t exactly far-fetched. You won’t always be able to take down two different creatures with it, but even if you don’t get that 2-for-1, this is some nice value.
Pro Rating: 3.5 Pro Comment: I love that you can use this to give up something on board to draw a card or you can use it to get rid of an opposing creature. And sure, your opponent gets a card back, but that is often well worth dealing with a problem threat.
Pro Rating: 4.0 Pro Comment: 4-mana for a 4/5 with Flying and Ward 1 is something you would always play, so the fact that this stocks the graveyard and can even give you a Dig Up the Body is pretty legit upside.
Pro Rating: 4.0 Pro Comment: A 4-mana 2/3 with Flash that bounces a nonland permanent is something you would always play, so the upside of making that card also cost one additional mana is just gravy.
Pro Rating: 3.5 Pro Comment: This is pretty strong, as it makes trading a creature into a 2-for-1. You also know you’re always going to get a pretty real card from the Wake, and if you’re also sacrificing creatures it gets even better!
Pro Rating: 4.0 Pro Comment: A creature with this statline is pretty much always a 3.0 or 3.5, and the Savior comes with some great upside. It can get especially silly if the creature has an ETB ability, but even if it doesn’t, it is often worth returning something to buff it.
Pro Rating: 2.5 Pro Comment: This is a bit clunky, but it is a source of card advantage that can really help. However, sometimes it is just too slow and you get run over..
Pro Rating: 4.0 Pro Comment: So, this is either a 3-mana 3/3 with a Shield counter, or a 3-mana 3/3 that gives a shield counter to something in your hand. It is very nice that they made it so this does something even if you don’t have a creature in your hand, unlike some of the other cards in the set that can only do stuff for cards in your hand. On top of that, it also gets buffed by Shield counters!
Pro Rating: 1.5 Pro Comment: Regrowth only sometimes make the cut in Limited, and stapling Giant Growth to it doesn’t really do enough to change that.
Pro Rating: 1.5 Pro Comment: This does replace itself, so it isn’t a complete disaster – but overall, it isn’t very good. The ability to turn into a creature is incredibly clunky at three mana, and is only the sort of thing you will be using in the extreme late game, really limiting how good this card can be.
Pro Rating: 4.5 Pro Comment: Turning every one of your creature spells into two creatures is pretty impressive. Sometimes you won’t have anything it can Seek out, but your first few creature spells after you play this are pretty likely to trigger it, and that’s more than enough for it to win you the game.
Pro Rating: 2.5 Pro Comment: If you’re interested in ramping, this can definitely do it. Most decks in the format aren’t super interested in going that route, though.
Pro Rating: 3.0 Pro Comment: This is basically a one mana ½ that can draw you a card for two mana. That’s a pretty great place to sink mana, even if you don’t have control over what you get.
Pro Rating: 2.5 Pro Comment: This is a solid way to protect your creature, and it tends to save the creature twice because of the shield counter.
Pro Rating: 4.5 Pro Comment: This is a three mana enchantment that effectively draws you an extra card every turn, and that’s incredible. The card will also never be anything other than a creature, and most of the time that’s what you would prefer anyway! The fact you get a consolation prize of Treasure is pretty nice too.
Pro Rating: 4.5 Pro Comment: This doesn’t always line up to actually kill something, but it has a great stat-line, so the fail case is pretty reasonable. Meanwhile, it has the upside of destroying multiple things!
Pro Rating: 2.5 Pro Comment: A two mana 2/1 with Haste is pretty reasonable, and generating Treasure certainly matters! Actually cashing treasure in to draft a card doesn’t line up that often, though.
Pro Rating: 2.0 Pro Comment: Obviously, you have to have a spell in your hand when you cast this or it doesn’t do anything. And, while adding Casualty 2 to a spell is definite upside, a 2-power creature worth sacrificing can often be hard to come by.
Pro Rating: 4.0 Pro Comment: A 3/1 with Menace is a pretty nice attacker all game long, so having Blitz and giving it to a card in your hand is great upside.
Pro Rating: 4.5 Pro Comment: This is a three mana 2/3 that Connives when it enters – I’m already very interested in that! In addition to looting when it enters, you also get an additional card when you discard your first card every turn, and that’s going to include Diviner of Fates Connive. Even if you never trigger it again, you’re going to feel pretty great about what it has done, and if you can do it more than once, it is pretty tough for you to lose.
