Creatures

4.5 This is a great Raid trigger -- even just reanimating one thing is huge, and because she gets bigger every time she attacks and has first strike, triggering it more than once is definitely on the table. 4.7 1x in 50%

1.5 Feels pretty good on turn one, but quickly becomes irrelevant. 2.4 1x in 50%

4 It starts vulnerable but can quickly grow into a must-kill threat. 4.7 1x in 50%

3.5 This is a strong sacrifice outlet since you get to replace the creature right away and get in for 2. It's good at enabling Raid, too. 4 1x in 50%

4 If this was 5-mana for a 3/2 that makes a 1/1 and gains you 3 life, you'd play that card happily -- and this has lots of upside beyond that. 4.3 1x in 50%

3.5 Two mana 1/1s that draw a card are also quality Limited cards, and there's no reason that won't be true here. 3.5 1x in 50%

1.5 // 4 If you are good at gaining or losing life, this is going to be one of the best cards in your deck. In that kind of deck, the trigger is basically an ETB ability, and you're virtually always going to draw a card off the trigger. But if you can't consistently trigger it, it's a pretty mediocre creature. 3.8 1x in 50%

2.5 This really enables lifegain strategies in Black/White, while also being good in the White go-wide deck and the blue-white bird deck. 3.2 1x in 50%

2.5 This'll be a one mana 3/2 pretty often in Green/White. 2.6 1x in 50%

2 This has decent stats that can get a little better if you target it with something, and it gives you some maindeck hate against artifacts and enchantments, too. 3 1x in 50%

2 This helps you set up life gain payoffs for Black-white and life loss payoffs for black-red in the early game, but has pretty mediocre stats. 2.3 1x in 50%

3 A three mana 1/3 flying with deathtouch is a passable baseline, and triggering this is fairly easy -- and you're likely to have more bats in play, too. 3.1 1x in 50%

2.5 This ETB is surprisingly potent and also very useful for Bat and Lizard decks. 2.6 1x in 50%

5 You usually want to wait until you get to 5 mana so that you start out with a 2-for-1, and then Zoraline threatens to keep reanimating things and gaining life on subsequent turns too. 4.7 1x in 50%
Instant, Sorcery

2.5 This is either too narrow or too expensive, but having the choice between the modes makes it greater than the sum of its parts. 3.4 1x in 0%

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 0%

3.5 It's a little expensive but makes up for that in a big way with that food token. 4 1x in 50%

4 This is super efficient removal that can often trade up. 3.7 1x in 50%

0.5 There aren't enough artifacts or enchantments in this format for this to be main deck material. 2.6 1x in 50%

3 It's narrow, but it's so efficient that I think that's acceptable. 3.8 1x in 50%

2 This is a solid trick, it'll win combat most of the time and has the "oops I win" upside of sending your big creature into the air. 2.7 1x in 50%

2.5 Giving up a land late to get two good creatures back from the yard is a good way to win those games, although this is pretty bad when you get it early. 1.8 1x in 50%

2 Three mana to reanimate two small creatures is a pretty good deal, but how often will you have stuff in the graveyard to get back? Not often enough for this to always make the cut. 2.6 1x in 50%
Enchantment, Artifact

4.9 1x in 50%

2 Fixing isn't at a high premium in this format, or this would be better. It is a decent way to fix, and can load your graveyard for Forage. 2.3 1x in 50%
Planeswalkers
Lands

2 Having some graveyard synergy to go with your fixing is nice sometimes, but not all decks will need this. 2.4 1x in 0%

2.5 These all offer nice fixing, and the lifegain on the BW can be extra nice. 2 1x in 50%

2.5 These all offer nice fixing, and the lifegain on the BW can be extra nice. 1.9 1x in 50%

3 A three mana 1/3 flying with deathtouch is a passable baseline, and triggering this is fairly easy -- and you're likely to have more bats in play, too. 3.1 1x in 50%

3.5 Three mana 2/2s that make 1/1s are always quality cards in Limited, and the 2/2 in this case even comes with Vigilance. 3.5 1x in 0%

3.5 It's a little expensive but makes up for that in a big way with that food token. 4 1x in 50%

3.5 Two mana 1/1s that draw a card are also quality Limited cards, and there's no reason that won't be true here. 3.5 1x in 50%

3.5 This is a strong sacrifice outlet since you get to replace the creature right away and get in for 2. It's good at enabling Raid, too. 4 1x in 50%

4 For 4 mana, you get 4/5 worth of stats, 2/2 of which effectively has haste, and 2/3 of which has lifelink. That's an amazing rate, and counters and life gain have support in the format. 3.3 1x in 0%

4 This is great whether you're ahead or behind, since it can trade for anything, attack effectively, and gain lots of life. 4.4 1x in 0%

4 This is super efficient removal that can often trade up. 3.7 1x in 50%

4 If this was 5-mana for a 3/2 that makes a 1/1 and gains you 3 life, you'd play that card happily -- and this has lots of upside beyond that. 4.3 1x in 50%

4 It starts vulnerable but can quickly grow into a must-kill threat. 4.7 1x in 50%

4 This is usually going to be a 2-for-1, and if you're good at gaining life it can become a threat in its own right. 3.2 1x in 50%

4.5 This is a great Raid trigger -- even just reanimating one thing is huge, and because she gets bigger every time she attacks and has first strike, triggering it more than once is definitely on the table. 4.7 1x in 50%

4.5 3 mana for two 2/2s is a great rate and you're likely to have other cats around to push the advantage. 4.7 1x in 50%

5 You usually want to wait until you get to 5 mana so that you start out with a 2-for-1, and then Zoraline threatens to keep reanimating things and gaining life on subsequent turns too. 4.7 1x in 50%
