Creatures

4 A two mana 2/3 that loots every turn is already really, really good. And Blue/Green decks won't even have to discard with it every time. 4 1x in 50%

2.5 // 4.0 If this always does 4 to your opponent and 4 to one of their creature's, it's a bomb. I think you'll get delirium often enough, especially in Red-Green, for it to perform really, really well. 3.7 1x in 50%

2.5 Haste means finding a window where you can get this in and trigger survival is easier, but the below-rate stats are pretty concerning. 2.9 1x in 50%

1.5 I wouldn't count on milling your opponent out with this. You may get more value milling yourself in this format, but it's a super underwhelming body and the Eerie trigger isn't very good overall. 2.4 1x in 50%

2.5 This can buff stuff the turn it comes down, and the boost it offers is enough to make your attacks much better. 3 1x in 50%

5 The Ward means your opponent has to 2-for-1 themselves to deal with Maha, and lowering the toughness of your opponent's creatures makes them much, much worse on attacks and blocks. It also makes Maha's trample more potent. 5 1x in 50%

3 This is a pretty scary one drop. It can get in for lots of damage early, allowing aggro decks to trigger their payoffs for doing damage, and because you can pump it, it really stays relevant all game long. 2.2 1x in 50%

2 A three mana 1/4 with Vigilance isn't very good, but in the late game this becomes unblockable and hits harder. 1.1 1x in 50%

2 This loads your graveyard for threshold and two mana for decent base stats and a loot is solid anyway. 2 1x in 50%

2.5 This slots well into spell decks and threshold decks, while sporting some solid stats that you can always threaten to grow. 1.8 1x in 50%

2 This is pretty good when it comes down as a 4/4, and pretty bad when it doesn't. 2 1x in 50%

2 If you need fixing, this does an okay job of it while also providing you some creature type synergy. 1.8 1x in 50%

2.5 Shocking your opponent when you cast things that cost 4 or more is a real payoff, and the stat-line here is passable. 3.3 1x in 50%

2 The stat-line is rough, but it helps you load your graveyard for Black-Green and Blue-Black, and it can trade for anything. That's less valuable on a three drop for sure, but it's something. 2.5 1x in 50%
Instant, Sorcery

2.5 I'm interested in the first copy of this if I'm in a Delirium deck, as it can get Delirium singlehandedly. Not adding to the board is a bit of a problem, but the life gain helps. 2.6 1x in 0%

2 You're overpaying for either of these, but getting the option between them makes this playable. 1.7 1x in 0%

1.5 If you need to get delirium, this can help while digging you deeper in your library. But without a spell deck in this format, it's probably going to underperform. 1.4 1x in 0%

2 When this effect is good, it's really good -- and when it isn't, you can just throw it away. This format doesn't have a spell deck though, and that hurts it's stock some. 1.1 1x in 0%

3.5 This is super efficient to remove any creature, although being a Sorcery means you aren't going to produce many blowouts. 4.3 1x in 0%

2 While you do get two bodies in the end, the rate here isn't very good. 2.3 1x in 0%

2.5 An instant-speed 4-mana draw 2 that adds to the board -- and triggers eerie, is something that I'd like one copy of in many Blue decks. 2.7 2x in 0%

-0 1x in 50%

3.5 This has lots of targets in the format, and it's well worth losing life for removal this efficient and flexible. 4 1x in 50%

2.5 This effect for 4 mana is always solid removal. It's never insane, but it trades 1-for-1 and as an instant has 2-for-1 potential. The surveil is nice added value. 2.1 1x in 50%

1.5 Even if you always got all three of these effects, they are narrow enough that this card wouldn't be insane, so jumping through hoops to get them all doesn't seem worth it to me. 1.9 1x in 50%

3 5 mana removal generally isn't premium, but if you get Delirium -- which is very doable -- this becomes a 2-for-1 and makes up for the cost. 1.7 1x in 50%

2.5 This is a solid removal spell that can trade up sometimes, and the graveyard hate is relevant int he format too. 2.8 1x in 50%

2 This can put up to three cards in the graveyard while drawing you a couple cards and you lose some life, so it checks some boxes for various synergies in black, but it's still a card that doesn't add to the board and you can't have too many of those. 1.5 1x in 50%
Enchantment, Artifact

3 Meat Locker has an effect that impacts the board, and Drowned Diner lets you dig deeper in your deck later in the game. I'm pretty happy with both of those things. 3 2x in 0%

2 Three mana to draw 2 and lose 2 life is decently playable, and this one triggers eerie. Widow's Walk isn't great, but it's upside on a decent card. 1.6 2x in 0%

3 I love that the Booth adds a real body to the board earlier, and you can unlock the Tunnel late at a time where it makes your attacks way better. 2.4 1x in 50%

1.5 This helps load your graveyard, but it's other effect is more irrelevant than you'd expect. 1.2 1x in 50%

3 Red/Black has enough ways to sacrifice Enchantments that this is going to generate serious value. They're great in multiples, too. 3.4 1x in 50%

2.5 This is a great way to repeatedly trigger Valiant and it offers a decent buff to begin with. 2.4 1x in 50%

4.9 1x in 50%

3 5 mana removal generally isn't premium, but if you get Delirium -- which is very doable -- this becomes a 2-for-1 and makes up for the cost. 1.7 1x in 50%

3 This is a pretty scary one drop. It can get in for lots of damage early, allowing aggro decks to trigger their payoffs for doing damage, and because you can pump it, it really stays relevant all game long. 2.2 1x in 50%

3 This will frequently have Menace and Deathtouch. It won't quite always have them -- Glimmers are around, including at lower rarities -- but it has them often enough to be a nice 5-drop, especially in decks that care about Enchantments. 1.8 1x in 50%

3 This will often be a 4/5 with lifelink on your turn and that's a very problematic body for your opponent -- and sometimes it'll be a 6/5 or bigger. 2.8 1x in 50%

3.5 This is super efficient to remove any creature, although being a Sorcery means you aren't going to produce many blowouts. 4.3 1x in 0%

3.5 It's nothing fancy, but it's a threat that has to be answered on many boardstates. 4.1 1x in 0%

3.5 This has lots of targets in the format, and it's well worth losing life for removal this efficient and flexible. 4 1x in 50%

3.5 Even without Delirium this is a card you always play. And that's good, because extra combat phases generally aren't great in Limited, so it's just upside on an already good card. 4.6 1x in 50%

3.5 This is a nightmare for your opponent to interact with since even without Eerie it's going to be able to frequently 2-for-1 your opponent, and with eerie, it gets even sillier. 2.4 1x in 50%

4 A two mana 2/3 that loots every turn is already really, really good. And Blue/Green decks won't even have to discard with it every time. 4 1x in 50%

4.5 The baseline is a 4-mana 2/4 that makes a 1/1, and that Snail is likely to grow! You should try to splash for the activated ability too, since it draw you tons of cards and even finish off your opponent. 4 1x in 0%

4.5 All of these triggers are really good. Generally, you're probably going to go for the card first to make sure you get a 2-for-1, then you'll get the counters, then you'll transform it into your best creature. That's pretty insane for two mana. 4.7 1x in 50%

5 The Ward means your opponent has to 2-for-1 themselves to deal with Maha, and lowering the toughness of your opponent's creatures makes them much, much worse on attacks and blocks. It also makes Maha's trample more potent. 5 1x in 50%
