Creatures

2.5 This is a good way to get value out of a Mercenary token, and in a pinch, the Agent can sacrifice themselves. 4 1x in 33%

2.5 This is a nice stat-line. And, while the other ability can be kind of hard to access -- it's nice upside to have. 3.9 1x in 33%

2 This give Black access to some repeatable fixing, which we don't see every day. Still, the stat-line and ability are both pretty medium. 3.4 1x in 33%

2.5 4-mana 3/2s can be abyssmal, since there is one mana removal that can deal with it, but this leaves a body behind to make up for that. 1.9 1x in 33%

2 Killing things that have already been damaged is surprisingly hard to take advantage of. They pushed this pretty hard with all these keywords, so I think it'll be better than most similar creatures we have seen. But it's still nothing special. 2.4 1x in 33%

2 This has decent base stats, and spitting out a token is sometimes valuable. 2.3 1x in 33%

3 It's a 5-drop so you don't want a bunch of them, but 5-mana for 4/5 worth of stats, 3/4 of which has Flying, is a really good deal. You probably don't want more than one of these, though. 2.1 1x in 33%

3.5 This gives you two bodies for a reasonable cost, and it's abilty to become indestructible is a real problem for your opponent. Blocking this is kind of a nightmare. 3.8 1x in 33%

2.5 Your opponent has to respect this thing, as it might gain double strike at instant speed. That's good upside to have on a bear. 2.3 1x in 33%

3.5 A two mana 2/2 with lifelink is a creature you always play, and this can grow fairly easily. In the late game, you can use it's ability as a nice mana sink. 4 1x in 33%

3.5 Black/white makes enough tokens on its own for this trigger to be pretty good, and your opponent is likely to generate some tokens too. 3.4 1x in 33%

2.5 A two mana 2/2 Lifelink is a card you pretty much always play, so it's nice that this can commit a crime or load your graveyard too. 3 1x in 50%

2 The stats are mediocre, and the crime trigger is decent. 2.6 1x in 50%

3.5 Black/White makes plenty of tokens, so adding more to the board is great, especially when you can sacrifice them for value. 4.2 1x in 50%
Instant, Sorcery

2.5 This is efficient, but having to take a hit before you can use it isn't ideal. The life gain makes up for that a little. 3 1x in 17%

3 This is nice removal, with some added utility, and if your creature has the highest power, you can blink it to make sure you can still kill your opponent's creature. 3.9 1x in 17%

1.5 These effects sound powerful, but they are surprisingly weak. Your opponent keeps their best cards and their best creatures, and those are the things you're often most worried about. 4.5 1x in 17%

4 Destroying your opponent's best creature and adding to the board is very powerful, and the fail case here is Murder. 4.2 1x in 17%

2 You pretty much need triple Black for this to be worth it, as the tutor effect on its own is pretty bad -- and triple black is asking a lot in Limited. 3.3 1x in 17%

2.5 This type of trick is always solid. It's good in combat, good against removal, and has the upside of working well with ETB. 1.9 1x in 17%

2 If you have lots of Mercenary tokens, this isn't a bad way to cash them in. 1.1 1x in 17%

2 This is a reasonable discard spell, as it will usually hit something and add a little to your board. 2.8 1x in 33%

3 Generating a two-for-one with this is surprisingly easy, and even when you can't it makes for a good combat trick that efficiently commits crime. 2 1x in 33%

3 This was a very strong trick last time, and it will be this time too. It helps a creature win combat, can blank more removal, and leaves behind a permanent buff. 3.1 1x in 33%

2.5 This is solid removal, but not much more. 3.9 1x in 33%

2.5 This isn't the premium removal it once was, but it's still pretty solid. 3.9 1x in 33%

2.5 This will feel close enough to a two-mana 2-for-1 that I'm definitely playing the first copy in most Black decks. 3.2 1x in 50%

2.5 There was a time when this would have been great removal, but once you're paying 4+ mana on removal it needs to do something extra to be premium. Surveil is extra, but not extra enough. 4.4 1x in 83%
Enchantment, Artifact

4 Exiling a creature for two mana is pretty insane, even if your opponent can potentially get it back later. 4.1 1x in 17%

4 This is great Removal that also gives you a relevant body, hard not to be excited about that. 4.4 1x in 17%

5 The creature this equips to is immune to most removal, gets significantly larger, and can generate some serious value when you hit your opponent. You won't always be able to do much with the treasure, but doubling a spell doesn't sound too challenging. 4.8 1x in 17%

2 The rate isn't very good, but I think the upside of ramping your mana sometimes makes it playable. 2.9 1x in 17%

4 Getting a counter for one mana is a pretty good deal, and gaining access to the Hideaway card isn't too difficult to set up. 5 1x in 17%

2 This drain life trigger can feel pretty good, but setting combat up just right to take advantage of them is surprisingly difficult. 3 1x in 17%

1 The discard effect isn't very good, and the legendary creature upside can be hard to access. Even when you do, it's pretty weak. 0.7 1x in 17%

3.5 This is really good even without the Flash upside. With it, it has blow-out potential and some synergy in the UW color pair. 3.9 1x in 33%

2 The turn you play this will feel pretty great, as it can really upgrade your attacks. The problem is how clunky it is when you have to Equip it thereafter. 1.9 1x in 33%

1.0 This isn't worth the hit to your mana base. The effect just doesn't do enough, even in a format with crimes. 0.9 1x in 17%

1 This weak ability isn't worth the hit to your mana base. 2.6 1x in 17%

2.5 This is very nice fixing. 3.3 1x in 33%

1 This weak ability isn't worth the hit to your mana base. 3.3 1x in 33%

4 Destroying your opponent's best creature and adding to the board is very powerful, and the fail case here is Murder. 4.2 1x in 17%

4 This can kill almost everything in the format efficiently. There will be times where an Outlaw is your biggest problem, but most of the time, this'll do the job. 4.4 1x in 17%

4 This can hit almost every permanent in the format for only two mana. 3.5 1x in 17%

4 Getting to Scry 2 to repeatedly is surprisingly strong, and blinking your other creature might have value too. 4.6 1x in 17%

4 Playing this on three is going to feel pretty great, as you're generating a 3-for-1, but it does have diminishing returns. 4.6 1x in 33%

4.5 This is scary no matter how you play it. If you stick it on turn two, it might just win you the game in the air, and if you get it later and it's a massive lifelinker, the same outcome is likely. 4.8 1x in 17%

5 The creature this equips to is immune to most removal, gets significantly larger, and can generate some serious value when you hit your opponent. You won't always be able to do much with the treasure, but doubling a spell doesn't sound too challenging. 4.8 1x in 17%

5 This can be a 7 mana instant-speed wrath that kills everything but your best creature, and it can be a useful spell long before it reaches that point. 5 1x in 17%

5 This is a 4-mana 4/3 that either draws you a card or gives you a 2/2 double strike when it enters the battlefield. And then, it gets that trigger again any time you attack. That's absurd value. 4.5 1x in 17%

5 This trigger is incredibly strong and easier than normal to get right away thanks to plot. 4.6 1x in 17%
