Creatures

2.0 This isn’t the most exciting spell payoff ever, especially because it is stapled to such a mediocre creature, but hey – it can block and stuff, and then give you some nice Looting. It has Defender too, and that matters some. It seems like it definitely has a role to play in both UR and UB spell decks – and less of one in UW, since that deck would prefer creatures that can attack. 1.1 1x in 18%

3.5 This is a reprint, and it is a pretty good Limited card! 4-mana for a ⅔ Flyer isn’t amazing, but Firebreathing does some serious work here. You’re not normally going to be buffing it so much that it gets sacrificed anyway – unless it is going to kill your opponent, and you can still do that! 2.7 1x in 19%

4.0 I always love creatures who ETB and freeze something down, and now we have “stun” counters that pretty much do the same thing! It is a great tempo play to add to the board while significantly downgrading your opponents for a whole turn cycle, and it usually enables you get to the upper hand if you didn’t already have it – and if you were already head, you often win on the spot. This is a great Uncommon. It is pretty fascinating to compare to Berg STrider from Kaldheim, which was similar – it was easier to cast, but it also demanded you spend snow mana ot get that to happen, and it didn’t have Ward 2. Now, Giants were also a tribal thing in Kaldheim, but I still think the Strider comes out ahead – and that’s probably why it is at Uncommon. I think this is likely Blue’s best Uncommon. 3.5 1x in 22%

1.0 // 3.0 If your deck has three spells this can search it up, it is going to be pretty powerful! If your deck has 0 spells this can search up, you shouldn’t be playing it. Sounds like a pretty classic build around! It is unplayable with 0 spells, and gets slightly better with one, and then significantly better with two and three. 4 1x in 26%

2.0 It is a little weird to see a mono-Blue card with Vigilance…but anyway, this seems like a fine two drop. Blue really likes spells, so it will be unblockable a substantial chunk of the time, and even when it isn’t, it is decent on the Vanilla test. 1.2 1x in 29%

3.0 A three mana 2/3 with Menace is already a solid card, so the fact that this can buff its power is quite nice. This will be able to attack effectively on a whole lot of boards, since it can always threaten to be a 4/1, and it has to be blocked by two creatures – and that makes it pretty hard for your opponent to block it without losing at least one creature. I think this is going to be sneaky good. 1.7 1x in 30%

2.5 This shows you how much power creep there is with creatures! Wind Drake, a 3 mana 2/2 Flyer, used to be a quality card in Limited – but now we get a three mana ⅔ Flyer in Limited and that’s pretty much the bar for “solid Common.” 1.8 1x in 30%

3.0 This has passable stats for a Flyer, and a pretty nice death trigger that means you’ll usually get a 2-for-1 out of it. 3 1x in 32%

4.0 This is really nice. A two mana 2/1 Flyer is actually a pretty good rate, and I love that in the later game you can kick this for some serious card advantage too. Basically, this is great on turn two, and great as a late game top deck – and fine in the mid-game – so I really like it. 3.5 1x in 33%

3.0 This is pretty neat. So, if you don’t kick it, the card is a slightly weaker Kiln Fiend – which means that it can really thrive off of cheap spells and hit hard in the early game. Then, in the late game, you can kick this thing and bounce a creature, which you know is an effect I always love – adding to the board and subtracting from your opponent’s is quite good! I really want to give this a 3.5 but I think I’m letting my own affinity for this type of card push me in that direction – it is probably more like a 3.0. 1.8 1x in 34%

3.0 This offers a couple of pretty nice payoffs for spells! Obviously, you need to be stocked up on them to take full advantage, and even when you are – there will be times where you can’t make use of either ability. Still, hte upside is very real, and obviously UR is going to have a ton of other spell payoffs, so this will have a home. 2.3 1x in 34%

3.5 This looks like one of the premiere payoffs for spell decks in this format. We’ve seen tramplers that get counters from spells in the past, but never one that is this efficient as a base. Obviously this is something of a build around, but it slots in so easily into UR decks that I don’t really think a build around grade is necessary. What’s nice is, even in your typical Red deck in the format that has 4 or 5 spells, it is passable. 3.8 1x in 35%

3.0 Seems like a solid enough spell payoff. If you can pay 5 for this, you’ll be happy, and that seems like a pretty reasonable occurrence in a Blue-Red deck. Ward 2 means that it won’t be easy for your opponent to kill this without significantly overpaying, and that definitely matters. 3.4 1x in 36%

3.5 This is another nice spell payoff! That trigger is super strong, even if you only have a couple of creatures, and it is the kind of thing your opponent has to respect – the threat of activation is very real. The question is how easy it will be to go wide enough to really take advantage of this, but my feeling is you don’t have to go that wide to make this impressive. 3.4 1x in 59%
Instant, Sorcery

2.0 This is a very clunky removal spell. 5 damage for 5 mana at Sorcery speed is never very impressive, and the upside here is pretty limited, with Scry 1 all you get. Even when we see this card at Instant speed these days it isn’t great, so a Sorcery is kind of rough. This is very far from premium removal, and is the kind of thing you’ll run one of in your red decks, but most of the time you’re hoping you find some better removal. 1.1 1x in 22%

4.0 This is a great removal spell that you can turn into Wardleader’s Helix when you kick it, and that’s pretty awesome! 4.3 1x in 22%

1.5 So, this is temporary removal that doesn’t even fully get rid of the thing it only temporarily removes. I don’t love that. The creature can still use abilities and its static effects still stick around even if they are stunned. Basically, this is a longer-term version of the “tap target creature, it doesn’t untap during your opponent’s next turn” effect, but even those effects are only good when they come with something else meaningful – like as a creature’s Enter the Battlefield ability, or with a cantrip attached. Scry 1 doesn’t quite do it. 0.7 1x in 23%

1.5 This is a reprint we’ve seen before, and it tends to be pretty solid in formats that have spell decks – and this is one of those! It triggers your spell payoffs while helping you find even more spells! 0.6 1x in 25%

1.5 Sure Strike is always a decent trick, and this is strictly better because it tacks on Scry 1. +3/+0 and First Strike will allow most creatures to win combat, which is definitely quite nice. It has the usual problems tricks have of course – because they are both risky and situational. You’ll run one of these in some of your aggressive Red decks. 1 1x in 25%

2.0 This is potentially a 5-mana three-for-one, which is pretty attractive! On a base level, it is just Divination – which is usually a C- level card these days. This is one of those effects that never adds to the board, and that can be a real problem, but I think I having one or two effects in your deck like that is reasonable, and this is the kind of thing I wouldn’t feel bad about putting in that slot. When you can really get it going, it can actually be pretty devastating, and at worst, you have Divination. 2 1x in 27%

2.5 This reprint is actually a counterspell I will play! It can only counter creature spells, but it does it at two mana, and you only need one Blue! Most decks will have 15+ creatures, and that’s plenty of targets for the first of these to be a solid inclusion in your Blue decks. One thing to keep in mind, don’t fall into the trap of thinking of counter magic as straight up removal. It is substantially worse in most ways, especially in Limited! The problem is – it is like removal that only works if you have the mana up at the right time, and that’s what keeps this from receiving a grade that is remotely close to a “premium removal” grade. 3.1 1x in 29%

2.5 This is interesting. Obviously it can be a really efficient removal spell, but there will also be times where you draw this and you just don’t have the cards for it to matter. Even if you do Kick it, there’s a chance you’re paying 5 to draw one and do 1 damage, and that just isn’t going to be very good. In the early game it can kill lots of stuff, and if you’re a control deck that often has a full grip of cards, it can be potent – but that just doesn’t work out that often in Limited. This will have a pretty wild range overall. The ceiling is nice, the floor is awful. There may be a UR deck in this format that can really take full advantage of this, but I’ll believe it when I see it. 3.7 1x in 29%

3.0 This seems pretty nice. Even when you don’t kick t it, a 3-mana bounce spell that draws you a card is usually about a C. You replace the card and get some tempo. The 3 life is some nice upside to tack on, but you would probably even place this in a deck that can’t produce White mana at all. 3.4 1x in 34%

4.0 This is always great. Two mana to do 3 to anything at instant speed is very powerful. It can trade up when killing creatures, and the fact it can close out a game by going to your opponents face is nice. 4.2 1x in 34%

2.0 This old school reprint is basically a better Anticipate, and any sort of Instant-speed card selection card tends to be pretty solid in formats that have a Spell deck – and this format has multiple! It still doesn’t add to the board, and there are only so many slots in a deck for that type of card – but I think the first copy of this is fine. 2 1x in 37%

2.5 These sorts of effect aren’t always useful, but the fact that this replaces itself is pretty important. It seems to me that you’ll find enough situations where the -1/-0 and/or the “must block” part of the card that this is going to be pretty solid. When you can trade it for a full card, you get a 2-for-1! Cycling it will probably be more common, but the upside is pretty real. 1.6 1x in 38%

3.0 This is a pretty nice card, because it can function as a solid removal spell, and you can also use it as a trick! As we usually see with this type of card, you’ll use it as removal about 90% of the time. It is also nice that it is a cheap Instant for spell decks. 2.5 1x in 39%

2.0 At one mana, this is pretty impressive for a trick! It only offers +1/+1, which isn’t always enough to win combat, but the untap effect and the hexproof also means it has some additional utility. Any time a trick gives a real boost and only costs one, it tends to be solid in Limited, and I think that’s what this will be. 1.7 1x in 45%
Enchantment, Artifact

0.0 As cool as it is to see the Weatherlight Phyrexianized, this card looks awful for Limited. It begins as a two mana Artifact that lets you Scry 1 any time one of your creatures dies and that..is not good. It does eventually become a creature, and then start drawing you cards when stuff dies, but it is going to be very slow. It just needs too many counters. It is also a miserable top deck. The ideal plan is to play it on turn two – but you also aren’t really adding to the board on turn two if you do that, so uh..yeah 4.4 1x in 1%

4.0 Kind of weird how many Oblivion Ring effects there are in this format – but yeah, this is another good White removal spell. It might cost one more than Citizen’s Arrest does, but it can remove all nonland pemernants types, is easier to splash with only one White mana required, and having Flash also enables the card to generate some blowouts that aren’t possible with Sorcery-speed versions of the effect. The incidental life gain is pretty nice too! 4.4 1x in 1%

2.5 This is a decentish piece of Equipment even without the Legendary upside. 2 to play and 2 to equip for this boost is probably a C- at worst So, the legendary upside is pretty nice! You won’t end up with a ton of legendaries, it should be noted, but there are a decent number of Uncommon, so you’ll end up with more than you would in most formats. Your typical deck will probably have like 2 legendaries, but when you do play them and equip this, they are going to be scary! 0.8 1x in 1%

3.0 I think you’ll frequently want to skip Chapter I here, since it does benefit your opponent as well as you, and really they come out ahead in most ways, since you spent mana and a card and they just got to draw 2 cards for 0 mana! Sometimes you’ll do chapter I, like if you’re desperate for a specific card or really need some gas – but the good news is, just getting chapter II and chapter III is plenty fo value for the investment. 2.8 1x in 1%

2.0 This doesn’t seem amazing, mostly because this format has a serious shortage of Artifacts. This really takes away the modality of this particular Read Ahead Saga, because you basically always need to start with Chapter I, because you’re not ultra likely to have an artifact in play to trigger the other stuff. I think you can really only count on this making a 0/2 Thopter, pinging something, and letting that Thopter attack as a 4/4. That’s pretty good for two mana, even if you have to wait – and obviously if you do manage to get some decent Artifacts to support this it gets a lot better. Your opponent can of course kill the Thopter before chapter II or III, but at least you’re trading 1-for-1…so it isn’t a disaster 0.4 1x in 1%

4.0 This is a bit slow, but obviously super powerful. It is a wrath effect that you can customize, which means you can set it up in a way that it hurts your opponent more than it hurts you in a lot of situations. The fact it enters tapped is a bit of a bummer, because it means you won’t be able ot get your opponent to add more permanents to the board for a turn, and they can prepare themselves for the eventual cracking of the Sylex. Being a Sorcery also means they know they are safe on their own turn. So yes, this is incredibly powerful – but I do think the clunkiness of it all makes it fall a little bit short of being a bomb. Taking a whole turn to get online is a pretty big problem! 4.4 1x in 1%

3.5 So, this has a cool design. You can use the first two chapters to phase out things that you want to save, and then the last chapter wipes the board. Well..sort of. It does give everyone 2/2 Phyrexians for each creature they lost, and that is a big downgrade from a pure sweeper – but still, you can save your best creatures whil downgrading your opponents entire board. The Read Ahead mechanic is sweet here too, because if you have the time to set up Chapter III, you can take that time — whether you want to use one or two turns to do it – but if the board is in such a state you need to blow everything up right away, it can do that too. This seems fairly strong, though not a bomb – the fact it just replaces creatures instead of entirely removing them is a problem. 2 1x in 1%

4.0 This looks like premium removal to me. You’ll cast it for 5 at the very most, and while that’s not ideal, a 5-mana Oblivion Ring with Flash is a pretty good baseline. You’ll often be able to cast it for 4, and casting it for three is also quite doable. Adding Flash is no small thing either, as it really opens up blow-up potential that most versions of this type of effect aren’t capable up. 4.9 1x in 1%

2.0 Most three mana mana rocks, even those that tap for any color, aren’t great in Limited. This could end up being better if the format is slow enough, but playing something like this on turn three can put you in really bad shape. This does come with the additional upside of producing a ton of extra mana, though – provided you have legendary creatures to tap. It feels like there is probably a legendary heavy ramp deck out there that can really use this to ramp, but I think you cut it a lot. 1.4 1x in 2%

1.0 This looks pretty cool! I don’t think it is great in Limited though. Obviously if you’re using combat tricks or Auras you can end up getting some serious value out of this, but there aren’t that many other spells that work with this in Limited, and Auras and combat tricks aren’t exactly known as cards you want to jam a bunch of into your deck 3.6 1x in 2%

2.0 This is a reprint, and it’s a pretty nice Aura in aggressive decks. One mana to make something unable to block, while also granting Haste and +1/+1 is a pretty great rate, and will often make whatever attack you make on your turn far more powerful than your opponent expects! And even after that initial turn where it really does some work, the +1/+1 sticks around, which is pretty nice -0 1x in 3%

3.0 This looks pretty good to me. Chapter I and II definitely aren’t exciting, and the real value will ome from chapter three – but the first two chapters can set it up! And, if you already have something you can cast from the graveyard and copy, you can just start at chapter three to begin with! The first two chapters aren’t great because you just won’t have things to cast with Chapter I that often. It also doesn’t net you any cards, it just gives you a discount, and those sorts of effects are all way worse than they look in Limited. Chapter II is basically there to enable Chapter III, so yeah. I could see playing this on Chapter II happening a decent chunk of the time, because that way you can get more options for Chapter III, and you have all your mana available for Chapter III on your next turn. OBviously you need a lot of Instants and Sorceries, but both UW and UR seem very into those card types, so I don’t think it will be hard to find a home for this. 1.1 1x in 8%

2.0 Putting this on a legendary creature will feel pretty darn good, as it the stats boost is likely to allow you to more easily draw a card, and Ward 1 means it is harder for you to get blown out. This isn’t quite Curious Obsession – but it does a pretty good impression, which means it will be great to put on evasive creatures, who can suddenly start drawing you extra cards. There are also lots of situations where it isn’t very good, though. There just isn’t always a board state where you can force a creature through. 1 1x in 8%

4.5 This looks really good. At worst, you can treat this as a 4-mana 4/4 Flyer – and at best, you can generate some pretty real value out of the first two chapters first! Chapter I is pretty situational, and I think will often be skipped – except in situations where it hurts your opponent more than you, and when that is true it will feel pretty awesome. Chapter II is a good way to reload your hand in the late game. I think if you play this turn 4, the best thing to do may just be to start on Chapter III – unless, again, that Chapter I really messes your opponent up. 4.8 1x in 11%
Planeswalkers

1.5 This Karn doesn’t seem very good – in any format, really. He can ramp your mana and draw cards, which is nice – but he doesn’t really add or subtract from the board in any really meaningful way. You can’t even use the mana he makes you the turn he comes out! He can’t protect himself, he can’t remove creatures, and to draw cards he even demands some mana! That’s not how Planeswalkers are supposed to work! And yeah, he can make his own mana, but still. I think if you play him on a board where there is parity or your’e ahead, you can definitely get some value out of him, but he’s just so slow at doing something meaningful that he is not very good if you’re behind – and even when you are at parity or ahead, he is just sort of a useful thing to have around – not the card that shifts the game in your favor. 4.5 1x in 1%

5.0 She can make bodies to protect her with her +1, draw you cards with her -1, and she can remove creatures with her -2. Obviously, only that first ability will raise her loyalty, but that’s okay – all three of those abilities are pretty amazing! The -2 is maybe a bit situational as far as removal goes, and it is a little awkward that you probably want to be protecting her and the -2 wants you to attack with a bunch of stuff – but I still feel like those first three abilities will all be good in many situations. Obviously, her ultimate is really strong, but it isn’t ultra realistic you get there, since she starts at 4 and only gains 4 loyalty at a time. 4.9 1x in 7%
Lands

3.0 The fact that these have land types is a big deal, because it will really make Domain decks in the format far more functional. I also think that means that, even though these come into play tapped, they are going to be a little bit higher on your pick order than the pain lands are – at least once it is clear you’re going with one of the domain decks, because just jamming these lands into your deck is going to be a big deal. I think these will be valued similarly to how we valued snow lands in Kaldheim – which means they are pretty darn important! They are also useful of course in decks without a Domain theme because of the fixing they provide, and lots of decks in this format will be looking to splash at least a third color, because there are lots of cards in the set that have off-color Kicker costs 2.8 1x in 9%

1.0 Even in a set with a multicolor theme, I’m not super into this. Filter lands are almost always not worth the trouble – and I think that will be especially true in this set, which has a ton of fixing! Filtering mana does fix for you, but at the cost of making everything of that color cost one extra, and that’s a big deal. Adding Scry 1 to the mix doesn’t make enough of a difference. I think you’ll play this if you’re really desperate for fixing – but that’s about it 1.8 1x in 14%

3.0 The fact that these have land types is a big deal, because it will really make Domain decks in the format far more functional. I also think that means that, even though these come into play tapped, they are going to be a little bit higher on your pick order than the pain lands are – at least once it is clear you’re going with one of the domain decks, because just jamming these lands into your deck is going to be a big deal.

Top Rated Cards

4.5 This is a bomb that will allow you to make a massive impact on the board. If you don’t kick it, it is Oblivion Ring, which is a great card! If you do kick it, you also get to turn a creature in your hand into Banisher Priest, which is just absurd! 0 1x in 0%

4.5 This is obviously very good. Starts as a bear, and grows throughout the game whenever you cast the most common type of spell in Limited! That would already be pretty close to a solid B, so the fact that it lets you distribute its counters if it dies is enough to push this into the lower bomb range for me. It is certainly fragile at first, and that keeps it from being a completely insane bomb, but as long as you can get a single counter on it before it dies, you’re going to feel good about the investment. 4.7 1x in 0%

4.5 Unsurprisingly, this Phyrexian Praetor is quite strong! A 4-mana ⅘ with Deathtoutch is already at least a B-, so adding in the life loss and life gain effects is sweet. It is nice that it punishes those extra draws from your opponent, while rewarding you for yours! She can quickly shift a game in your favor, as every turn cycle she creates a gap of 4 life in your favor. 5 1x in 0%

4.5 Paying 4 mana for a 3/3 with Flying and Haste is definitely a nice card, and its great that it also scales all game long. You can also pick the exact right spot with it to get in for lethal – it will feel like Fireball in a lot of situations! 5 1x in 5%

4.5 A 4-mana 4/4 with First Strike is a B, and this has some nice upside. Like the others in the cycle, it allows you to sort of pay Phyrexian Mana for one mana of your Red permanents, and it also pays you off for playing Red permanents – in this case, you get to do 1 damage to something. That ability always does something, whether you are picking off something small or hitting your opponent. 4.4 1x in 8%

4.5 This is pretty much the best Man-O’-War ever, and it makes Bird tokens – so you know I love it! Whichever option you choose when you cast the channeler, you’re getting a great deal. Each mode, individually, would probably be a 4.0, so I think having the modality of all three options is enough for this to get a 4.5. 4.6 1x in 9%

4.5 This looks really good. At worst, you can treat this as a 4-mana 4/4 Flyer – and at best, you can generate some pretty real value out of the first two chapters first! Chapter I is pretty situational, and I think will often be skipped – except in situations where it hurts your opponent more than you, and when that is true it will feel pretty awesome. Chapter II is a good way to reload your hand in the late game. I think if you play this turn 4, the best thing to do may just be to start on Chapter III – unless, again, that Chapter I really messes your opponent up. 4.8 1x in 11%

4.5 There are three Blue decks in this format that are into spells - UW, UB, and UR – so a card like this doesn’t really need a buildaround in this format, as it will be right at home in all of those decks. That means it is very good, since reducing spells and being an effective Flying attacker are nice things to have. 4.5 1x in 13%

5.0 I’m already all in on a 5-mana 5/5 with Flying and Ward, so the other upside is nice! It also makes things really hard on your opponent – even the turn he comes down, because now if they decide to chump block the stuff you already have in play, or if they wanted to trade their 3/2 for your 3/3, things suddenly get really ugly for them. They just have to start taking hits, or they give you Dragons, which is even more of a problem! Really a pick your poison situation. Things won’t always line up so you can threaten to do excess damage the turn he comes down, but because he’s a hard to kill efficient flyer that really changes the game in your favor, I think this new Rith is a bomb. 4.9 1x in 0%

5.0 This is really good! A 4-mana ¾ Flyer is pretty close to a B, and the upside here is massive. Playing something from your graveyard every turn is pretty sweet! The downside, I suppose, is that you won’t always have something – especially on like turn 4, but you can sort of plan for the Paragon by trading more aggressively and things like that. The life gain tacked on to the things you cast is great too. If you only get one card back before the Paragon dies, you’re getting a 2-for-1 – and that seems quite easy to accomplish — in addition to the fact that if it sticks around much longer, it will simply take over the game. 5 1x in 0%

5.0 She can make bodies to protect her with her +1, draw you cards with her -1, and she can remove creatures with her -2. Obviously, only that first ability will raise her loyalty, but that’s okay – all three of those abilities are pretty amazing! The -2 is maybe a bit situational as far as removal goes, and it is a little awkward that you probably want to be protecting her and the -2 wants you to attack with a bunch of stuff – but I still feel like those first three abilities will all be good in many situations. Obviously, her ultimate is really strong, but it isn’t ultra realistic you get there, since she starts at 4 and only gains 4 loyalty at a time. 4.9 1x in 7%

5.0 This is really good – maybe the best in the cycle! If you can pay the full mana, you get a 7-mana 6/6 that can steal pretty much any of your opponent’s creatures. That is a bomb – and the card is far mroe flexible than that, since you can also steal some stuff without kicking it, or only kicking it once. You do need three colors to unlock its full power, but that doesn’t seem like a big ask. 4.6 1x in 7%

5.0 This seems great. A 5-mana 4/3 Flyer is right around a B-, and the upside here is very real, since it sorts of lets you pay Blue Phyrexian mana for your Blue permanents! It is great that it is entirely optional. What really makes it crazy good for Limited, though, is that you draw cards when you cast Blue permanents, so this is a crazy value engine that makes your Blue permanents easier to cast, so you’re going to be pressuring your opponent in the air while also drawing a bunch of extra cards. 4.7 1x in 7%

5.0 Well, this is pretty insane. In most situations, if you pay 7 mana for this, you’re going to get destroy the entire board except for your creature that you phase out. Basically, it will feel like dune blast. Obviously, for this to be at its best you do need to be able to pay one of the kickers, and if you can pay both it gets even better – although 9 mana is asking a lot! Even if you don’t kick it, this is a powerful sweeper for a lot of decks. A Wrath that keeps your best creature alive is just nuts. 4.2 1x in 10%
