Creatures

3 Not a terrible roadblock, and you can loot with it pretty well in this format. It can even go on offense late in the game. 3.9 1x in 22%

3.5 This is a very real body that is good whether you're ahead or behind, and the Surveil trigger is plenty accessible. 3.6 1x in 22%

2.5 This has solid stats that are good for augmenting, and it's good sacrifie fodder. 2.4 1x in 22%

3 This is going to be a 2-for-1 most of the time, and is especially good in the GW color pair. 4 1x in 22%

3 When you draw a card with this it will feel like a 4.0, when you don't, it will feel like a 1.0. I think it will be easy enough to draw with to get up to a 3. 2.5 1x in 22%

4 This looks enough like Ledger Shredder that I'm pretty excited about it. A two mana 1/3 with Vigilance is already fine, and this has way more upside than that! Sometimes it will hit harder, and you'll frequently be able to trigger the loot in this format. 4.3 1x in 22%

1 A one mana 0/4 is largely irrelevant, and the ability is too expensive. 1.8 1x in 22%

3 The stats are bad, but if you get in with this once you'll feel pretty good ,and getting it with it is pretty easy. Get in with it more than once, and the game might just be over. 2.3 1x in 22%

3 This is a fine play on turn one, and later in the game it can give itself a more relevant body, and maybe even rebuy an ETB. 3.1 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%

3.5 This is a pretty insane payoff for plotting and doing things at instant speed, and Flash makes it easy to get that first token. 2 1x in 33%

2.5 This is a nice turn one play, and in the later game it's ETB can do some work -- especially if you need to commit some crimes. 1.7 1x in 33%

4 This is a pretty amazing payoff for doing things at instant speed or plotting, and the stat-line isn't bad either. 2.5 1x in 44%

3.5 This delivers a ton of value for the cost, and the fact it has Flash is extra good in UW. 2.8 1x in 44%
Instant, Sorcery

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 11%

2 The best way to use this is to bounce your thing and an opponent's thing, and if you do that in response to removal or something that seems nice. However, it won't always line up that way, and the other options with the card aren't very attractive. 1.3 1x in 11%

3 This can take care of a spell on turn two, and it has the upside of being a 5-mana 2/2 flyer that counters a spell -- that's a card I would always play. 2.5 1x in 22%

2.5 Not affecting the board can be a liability, but a 4-mana draw 3 is pretty efficient -- and this has some additional upside. 2.1 1x in 22%

3 Drawing and bouncing for three mana at instant speed is a very good rate. You end up with tempo and you break even on cards, but it has blowout potential too. 3.8 1x in 22%

2.5 This is conditional but efficient, especially if you have a Mount. 1.9 1x in 33%

2.5 A two mana draw 2 is pretty serious business, and that mode will be accessible enough. 1.5 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 Just the bounce option is a decent card, so the fact you have a whole other option for later in the game is pretty nice. 1.6 1x in 33%

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 33%

2 This feels good when you can cast it, but it is a little too narrow to be good. 1.4 1x in 33%

5 This is basically a 5-mana Mind Control, except it can hit any nonland permanent and in most other ways it is better too. -0 1x in 44%

2.5 This is solid removal, but not much more. 3.9 1x in 44%

2.5 When it lines up, this feels pretty good. 3.1 1x in 78%
Enchantment, Artifact

4.5 While not quite as good as the original, this is great. Getting counters on it is incredibly easy, and you can ash them in for real value. 4.6 1x in 11%

3 I don't love that this does nothing on it's own, but turning into a 3/3 Flyer looks very doable. Heck, just playing in on two and passing on turn three with all your mana up sounds like a good call in many situations anyway. 2.7 1x in 11%

4 This is an Oblivion Ring that comes with the upside of making a creature into a copy of the exiled one. That last part isn't always going to be useful, but because this card's already so efficient, it doesn't reall matter. It's upside on a card that's already very good. 4.6 1x in 11%

4 This is great Removal that also gives you a relevant body, hard not to be excited about that. 4.4 1x in 11%

2 Blue's usual passable removal spell that you kind of hope you don't have to use, but it's fine if you do. 2 1x in 11%

1.5 I like all three of these kinds of tokens, but paying 5 to put this in play is too much. 2.9 1x in 11%

0 The trigger is powerful, but you have to go through the trouble of casting and equipping this clunky thing, and then you still don't get anything until the equipped creature hits the opponent. That's too many hoops. 2.5 1x in 11%

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 11%

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 22%

4 Exiling a creature for two mana is pretty insane, even if your opponent can potentially get it back later. 4.1 1x in 44%

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 11%

2.5 This is very nice fixing. 2.5 1x in 22%

2.5 This is very nice fixing. 3.3 1x in 22%

1 This weak ability isn't worth the hit to your mana base. 2.6 1x in 56%

4 This is an Oblivion Ring that comes with the upside of making a creature into a copy of the exiled one. That last part isn't always going to be useful, but because this card's already so efficient, it doesn't reall matter. It's upside on a card that's already very good. 4.6 1x in 11%

4 Each of these modes individually is playable enough, and if you access all of them you can get some pretty ridiculous value. 4.6 1x in 11%

4 This looks enough like Ledger Shredder that I'm pretty excited about it. A two mana 1/3 with Vigilance is already fine, and this has way more upside than that! Sometimes it will hit harder, and you'll frequently be able to trigger the loot in this format. 4.3 1x in 22%

4 When you can cast a spell with this it will feel incredible, and thanks to Plot you can set it aside until you do have one. The fail-case isn't amazing, but not a complete disaster, either. 3.4 1x in 22%

4 The baseline is great, and you'll often be able to get the extra large zombie out of the deal. 3.3 1x in 22%

4 Exiling a creature for two mana is pretty insane, even if your opponent can potentially get it back later. 4.1 1x in 44%

4 This is a pretty amazing payoff for doing things at instant speed or plotting, and the stat-line isn't bad either. 2.5 1x in 44%

4.5 While not quite as good as the original, this is great. Getting counters on it is incredibly easy, and you can ash them in for real value. 4.6 1x in 11%

4.5 Counterspell is a great card, and this is a better one! The extra mana it gives you will often be meaningless by the late game, but in the early to mid game, there's a good chance it lets you power something out ahead of schedule. 3.2 1x in 11%

4.5 Fblthp is a card advantage engine, and his Ward at least makes it so your opponent can never deal with him efficiently. 4 1x in 11%

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 11%

5 This is 6 mana for a 6/5 and a 6/6 that will get bigger and she draws you cards. She's an insane bomb. 4.8 1x in 11%

5 A 4-mana 5/3 flash flyer is a great rate, and this will have hexproof a huge chunk of the time. 5 1x in 11%

5 This is basically a 5-mana Mind Control, except it can hit any nonland permanent and in most other ways it is better too. -0 1x in 44%
