Creatures

3.5 This is really good on rate and is the kind of Common you'd play as many copies of as you can get. 3.6 1x in 33%

3.5 A 5-mana 4/5 that Surveils 2 when it enters or attacks is a quality card, and this can transform into a game-winning play in the late game. 3.1 1x in 33%

4 Commander Ninjutsu does work from your hand! So that does mean that you can get a card out of her pretty easily. -0 1x in 33%

1.5 // 4.0 This is a very strong Town payoff, but you need a whole lot of them -- probably 8+ -- to have a chance of making those tokens. 3.8 1x in 33%

4 While not as broken as he is in other formats, the Titan is still a huge creature that ramps and fixes your mana in a big way. 4.6 1x in 33%

3 Reducing the cost on this is super doable even outside of graveyard decks, and it's a pretty scary threat when it comes down for 6 or so mana. 3.5 1x in 33%

2 This doesn't feel horrible when you cast it, and it can grab you an island early. 2.4 1x in 33%

1.5 // 3.5 If you don't have plenty of artifacts this is pretty mediocre, but once you're casting it for 5 or less you're going to be pretty happy. -0 1x in 33%

4 This generates a 2-for-1 while ramping your mana in a big way, and he can even remain relevant late because of his activated ability. 3.5 1x in 67%

4 This is a great Town payoff that is even capable of pulling you back ahead from behind. 2.5 1x in 67%

3 This is a really nice top-curve card because it's such a big body and it gains you life, and cycling it away earlier can help you with graveyard synergy. 2.6 1x in 67%

4 If this was just a creature with the Chapter I effect as an "enters" trigger, it'd be really good, and it's better in most ways -- since it can stun something else and then draw you at least one card before it goes away. 3.8 1x in 67%

2.5 A one mana 1/1 with death touch is always playable, and this has an effect you can use in the extreme late game that is likely to make it massive. 2.5 1x in 67%

2 This has a passable baseline and the useful artifact type, and it can maintain relevance once you reach the late game. 2.5 1x in 67%
Instant, Sorcery

3 Adding a counter to this, making it an isntant, and giving it the ability to grab Towns makes this one of the better lower rarity ramp effects we've seen in Limited for a long time. You can even generate a 2-for-1 when things line up correctly. 1.4 1x in 0%

3.5 The "Blizzara" mode is a good removal spell we see in every set, and this has the upside of being a solid bounce spell early and a more powerful removal spell late. 3.1 2x in 0%

2.5 Adding a counter to Divination is a pretty big deal, because now it actually adds to the board. 3.6 1x in 33%

3 The token for two mana isn't too shabby, but the fact you can flash this back for another one in the late game is what makes this a good Common. 2.6 1x in 33%

2.5 This has a mediocre Fight spell as a baseline, and if you have Sagas around you can generate some additional value. 3.5 1x in 33%

1 // 3.5 You need a lot of towns for this to be worthwhile, but the good news is Blue/Green decks will definitely get there. 0.4 1x in 33%

2 This is a solid card selection spell, especially if you're in one of the spell or graveyard decks. 3.1 1x in 33%

2.5 I don't love that this doesn't add to the board, but it certainly ramps and fixes your mana in a big way -- and might even trigger landfall. 2.6 1x in 33%

2 I don't like that this is basically a Blue Hill Giant, but the fact you can flash it back does mean you get a 2-for-1 in the end. 3.6 1x in 33%

4 You get amazing value when you flash this back, and the initial spell is pasasble. 4.5 1x in 33%

3 This is a really good trick. The first mode is passable, but it scales as the game continues. 2.6 1x in 33%

3 This can almost always make a copy of the best permanent on the battlefield, so you usually get your mana's worth. 2.5 1x in 67%

2.5 X counterspells scale as the game goes on, allowing them to remain relevant, and this one even exiles it's target. 2.2 1x in 67%
Enchantment, Artifact

3 In most cases, this can fully remove a creature, and doing that at instant speed is pretty nice. 2.7 1x in 0%

2.5 It's a little clunky, but ultimately a pretty good draw effect, and transforming this is doable in Blue. 2.6 1x in 33%

1.5 This is a two mana 2/1 with super minimal upside, and moving the Equipment doesn't do much either. 1.2 1x in 33%

2.5 If you're in the market for mana, this does the job, and giving it up to draw cards is very doable. 2.7 1x in 33%

1.5 Having to spend mana to use these abilities is a big bummer, but if you really need the fixing it can do the job. 1.4 1x in 33%

2 The attack trigger is good, but the body is incredibly underwhelming. 1.1 1x in 33%

3 This combat damage trigger is really strong, but you're probably not going to get in there with your Job Select token since a three mana 2/2 is pretty dismal. You can move it around later though, and I think you'll be able to find something worth putting it on. 3.4 1x in 33%

2.5 I don't love taking a turn off to cast this, but it is pretty powerful once it's in play. 2.2 1x in 33%

2.5 This is really tough to transform in Limited, but not impossible, especially in Red/Green. 3.2 1x in 33%

2 This has a lot of potential, but it's awkward to play early because it doesn't add to the board, and awkward to play late because you're less likely to get enough value out of it. It's ability to become a creature does help offset that last part, though. 3.5 1x in 33%

2.5 A three mana 3/3 Reach is fine, and in the late game this boost is decent. 2 1x in 33%

2 This can definitely be powerful and grind out tons of value, but it's a little slow. Only when you get the third Bird will you feel like you're really doing something worth the mana. 3.2 1x in 67%

3.5 This definitely has some problems, but it's so cheap that I can get over them. 3.8 1x in 100%
Planeswalkers

3 The Town duals all provide nice fixing and a useful subtype. 2.7 1x in 33%

3 The Town duals all provide nice fixing and a useful subtype. 2.1 1x in 33%

3.5 This is incredible fixing, and the fact it enters untapped early is really, really nice. -0 1x in 33%

2 This provides some decent fixing, but filter lands are a little to inefficient to be great. 3.9 1x in 33%

3.5 This is really good on rate and is the kind of Common you'd play as many copies of as you can get. 3.6 1x in 33%

3.5 This is a really nice 2-for-1, and while melding won't be happening very often, it's upside on a really good card. 3.6 1x in 33%

3.5 This gives you two bodies up front, and even though one of them is temporary, you'll still be able to generate a 2-for-1 most of the time. 3.2 1x in 33%

3.5 He can grab any land which is great, and because of his landfall trigger he can help you do some damage the moment he comes down. 3.4 1x in 33%

3.5 This definitely has some problems, but it's so cheap that I can get over them. 3.8 1x in 100%

4 You get amazing value when you flash this back, and the initial spell is pasasble. 4.5 1x in 33%

4 You can take advantage of the double strike buff the turn it comes down, and once he starts attacking he puts your opponent in a horrible spot. -0 1x in 33%

4 If this was just a creature with the Chapter I effect as an "enters" trigger, it'd be really good, and it's better in most ways -- since it can stun something else and then draw you at least one card before it goes away. 3.8 1x in 67%

4 This generates a 2-for-1 while ramping your mana in a big way, and he can even remain relevant late because of his activated ability. 3.5 1x in 67%

4.5 The mana cost holds this back a little bit, but if you have good fixing this card is insane since it'll win you the game any time you cast it. You can also reanimate it in the format. 2.9 1x in 33%
