Creatures

2.0 This has decent aggressive stats and a nice creature type. Its fine. Not much more to say! 1.4 1x in 100%

3.5 This is such a nice one drop. If you actually get it down early it can chip in some damage, and then once you have the city’s blessing, it can even pressure your opponent in the air. 4.3 1x in 100%

2.7 1x in 100%

5.0 So, even if it didn’t have Ascend this would probably be a 4.0. A 5-mana 2/2 that cranks out a Saproling every upkeep is actually a pretty big deal. Note that every upkeep includes your opponent’s! This means that you will usually at least get one Saproling out of this card before it dies, and that’s pretty much a worst case scenario. If it is allowed to stick around for a couple of turns, things will get really silly, especially because it helps you get to the City’s Blessing. This is an absolute bomb, and its only downside is that it dies to a ton of removal. 5 1x in 100%

2.0 This does a good job of decreasing the cost of Dinosaurs if that’s what you’re in the need for, but it isn’t going to always make the cut, even in all Dinosaur decks. 2.5 1x in 100%

3.5 This is great ramp for Dinosaur decks, and being able to get back your fallen Dinos is some nice additional upside. 3.9 1x in 100%

4.0 This is one of the best Uncommons in the set. 5 mana for two 3/3s with Trample is absolutely excellent, and it is great at all stages of the game. If you’re behind it, it can get you back to parity. If you’re at parity, it will pull you ahead, and if you’re ahead, it will solidify your lead. 3.8 1x in 100%

1.5 This has alright stats and a useful creature type, so it makes the cut sometimes. 1.7 1x in 100%

3.9 2x in 100%

2.5 This text box is nice, but not nearly as powerful as it seems! It basically eliminates the ability of your opponent to trade with the Champion. Their larger creatures can still effortlessly block it. It is a nice place to stick auras and other enhancements, but yeah – its just a solid card and not much else. 3.5 2x in 100%

2.5 This is much better than it looks. Getting the city’s blessing going quickly is quite easy, so this is often a 3/3 by the mid-game. 2.7 2x in 100%

2.5 This is a nice creature to have around in your Dinosaur decks. It is a very real attacker in the sky in the late game. Once it has vigilance, it can be a real problem for this format’s small creatures to attack through. 2.3 4x in 100%
Instant, Sorcery

4.0 This kills most creatures in this format at Instant speed, and is Red’s best Common. 4.1 1x in 100%
Enchantment, Artifact

2.5 Like most Auras, this can be pretty risky since you open yourself up to a 2-for-1, but the stats boost and first strike is great for two mana, and that means this ends up being a pretty solid card for most aggro decks. 3.8 1x in 100%

4 3x in 100%
Planeswalkers
Lands

2.5 These provide you with good fixing. If they are in your two colors or they help you splash, you are pretty interested in them. 1.9 1x in 100%

3.0 Like always, this provides some pretty nice fixing – even better than the format’s tap lands. Even if you’re a two color deck, it improves your mana significantly. 3 2x in 100%
