Creatures

3 This does so much for one mana. It's a body that blocks Mobilize tokens, it filters your mana, and it Scries. The Scry helps it maintain relevance when you draw it late, too. 2.4 1x in 14%

4 Whether you drain your opponent's life and make them discard, or kill one of their creatures and gain 2, the investment here is very much worth it since it's a 2-for1. 4.3 1x in 14%

3.5 The Omen here is a good removal spell, so it's nice it can sometimes be a dragon + Naturalize. 4.3 1x in 29%

3 This effectively fills two different spots on the curve which is great. It's not gonna feel amazing on two or 5, but it can do both serviceably, and that's a big deal. 3 1x in 29%

2.5 This fiexes your mana well and can threaten to be a 3/3 when it attacks, allowing it to get through and/or trade reasonably well. 1.5 1x in 29%

3 This creature is mostly all stats, but having hexproof until it damages something is nice and means that it can usually get in for a hit before they can kill it. Just don't block a mobilize token with it. 4 1x in 29%

4 This is a very real upgrade to your mobilize, and Zurgo even comes with it. 3.7 1x in 29%

2.5 This fixes mana well, and it can trade for anything once it's outlived it's usefulness. 2.6 1x in 29%

4 This will shift the board in a big way every time you cast it. At worst it's a 6/7 flyer, and most of the time you don't have to put all of your eggs in one basket. 3.7 1x in 29%

3 The Omen would probably be a playable card in this set on it's own since it's a nice way to fix. And while the creature isn't amazing, the life gain does make sure you get something out of it no matter what. 3.2 1x in 43%

2.5 This is two 1.5 cards stapled together -- but having an Omen does mean that this doesn't have the biggest downside about being a 6-drop -- that it doesn't do anything until you get to 6! 2.8 1x in 43%

2.5 This has the worst stat-line of all the devotees, but it's fixing you have access to even when you mill it. 1.8 1x in 43%

2.5 The Omen is good at getting Flurry going, and the creature -- while not amazing, does come with Haste so it can often get in for damage before your opponent takes it down. 1.8 1x in 57%

2.5 Neither of these cards is great individually, but Dusk Sight replaces itself and impacts the board, and the Deathgorger isn't a completely terrible 6-drop. It can trade with most dragons and will cause problems for any that have less than 5 power, while also hating on the graveyard -- or helping you trigger your own stuff. 2 1x in 71%
Instant, Sorcery

2.5 Casting this for 5 is pretty rough, but I think you'll be able to spend 3 often enough for it to be a soli draw spell. 1.6 1x in 14%

4 This is a very powerful 2-for-1, and while it isn't always going to be online, it won't be too difficult to get it there either. 3.5 1x in 14%

3 This is a little bit narrow, and aggro decks won't love that a creature gets to block before they can use this, but it is reasonably efficient and will gain you life sometimes. 3.3 1x in 14%

3 Casting this for 4 is acceptable because it has three very useful modes -- and casting it for two is amazing, and super doable. 3.8 1x in 14%

3.5 It's not the most efficient removal ever, but adding a lightning helix to the mix goes a long way towards making this card worth the mana. 4.3 1x in 14%

3 It's hard to be upset with a removal spell you can cast twice, and this one can also just be used to draw a card in a pinch. 3.8 1x in 29%

3.5 This effect is great at instant speed, since you need to find a window when it's safe to cast -- otherwhise you risk a 2-for-1, and an instant can obviously be cast in a wider variety of situations than a Sorcery can. Also, when you do get to surveil with this it'll feel amazing. 3 1x in 29%

3.5 1x in 29%

4.3 1x in 29%

2.5 This seems like a surprisingly legit draw spell. Debuffing your opponent's stuff makes up for you not adding to the board when you spend 6 mana. 2.8 1x in 29%

4 If this always cost 2 mana it'd be a great removal spell, but it will cost one mana reasonably often -- at which point it's absurd. 3.8 1x in 29%

2.5 This is a solid counterspell normally, and a pretty good one when you can Behold. 3.2 1x in 43%

2.5 Spending three mana and not adding to the board is a little scary, but this gives you ramp and fixing in a format where that looks like what you want to be doing -- and it can ultimately generate a 2-for-1. 1.7 1x in 43%

3.5 This'll always feel like a pretty good deal since you can usuall trade up. 3.5 1x in 43%
Enchantment, Artifact

3 This is great at fixing your mana early and then can give you a real presence on board late. The Monuments all give you nice 2-for-1s, and I think that makes up for them not adding to the board on turn two. 2.7 1x in 14%

1.5 Most of the time you won't hit something worth 5 mana. It does get sweet if you hit a dragon, though -- as you'll cast it and put the storm back in your hand. That'll feel great, but the rest of the time? It'll be pretty awful. 2.1 1x in 14%

4.3 1x in 14%

2.5 The baseline here is sort of acceptable, and I think in most games you'll get to cast it a second time. 4 1x in 14%

5 5 mana for two 5/5s is nuts, and chapter III will just end the game in most situations. Even if you just have those two elephants, that turn is going to be scary for your opponent -- and you'll usuall have more. 4.5 1x in 14%

3 This is great at fixing your mana early and then can give you a real presence on board late. The Monuments all give you nice 2-for-1s, and I think that makes up for them not adding to the board on turn two. 2.1 1x in 14%

3 Casting this only once feels fine, and it won't be unusual to get to cast it again later in the game. 4.1 1x in 29%

4 This buff is enough to make almost any creature into a significant presence on the board, and in a format with Mobilize it looks especially spicy. The extra combat step isn't always meaningful, though. 4.6 1x in 29%

3 This is great at fixing your mana early and then can give you a real presence on board late. The Monuments all give you nice 2-for-1s, and I think that makes up for them not adding to the board on turn two. 2.1 1x in 29%

5 This landfall trigger is absurd, especially in the aftermath of a card that wipes away much of the board. 4.8 1x in 29%

4 Most of the value here comes from the first chapter, but it's pretty sweet you get a bunch of extra stuff after casting a good removal spell. 4.2 1x in 29%

2.5 Fixing is important in this format, and ramp looks real enough in Green for this to be solid. 3.4 1x in 43%

1 It takes an unusual format for a three mana mana rock that doesn't add to the board to be worth it, and I don't think this is that kind of format. 3.6 1x in 71%
Planeswalkers

5 This is the biggest bomb in the set. She can easily kill you with tokens or counters, and even if you're behind she kills something and threatens to start doing token and counter things next turn. 4.9 1x in 14%

4 This is a very real upgrade to your mobilize, and Zurgo even comes with it. 3.7 1x in 29%

4.5 A 5 mana 4/5 with flying that gains you 3 life when it enters is a very good Limited card. Gives you something substantial and threatening while gaining you life, and that's a good way to stabilize. It also ramps your mana super well early, and can gain more than just those 3 life, so it's great. 5 1x in 14%

5 This is the biggest bomb in the set. She can easily kill you with tokens or counters, and even if you're behind she kills something and threatens to start doing token and counter things next turn. 4.9 1x in 14%

5 5 mana for two 5/5s is nuts, and chapter III will just end the game in most situations. Even if you just have those two elephants, that turn is going to be scary for your opponent -- and you'll usuall have more. 4.5 1x in 14%

5 It's tough not to win when you cast this. It gives you something comparable to a 4-for-1 since it adds to your board, subtracts from your opponents in the big way, gains you a ton of life, and gives you extra cards. 4.8 1x in 14%

5 Just the dragon side is a 4.5-level card. It adds a huge scary body to the board and subtracts from the opponent's board in a big way -- but throw in the fact that you can cast this earlier in the game to draw some cards and it's even more amazing. 4.8 1x in 14%

5 This is a two drop that can take over the game quickly. Spitting out 1/1s is nice, but it's also great it can grow itself, because it makes it more likely it can keep attacking and triggering endure. Things will snowball and get out of hand if it's not dealt with. 4.6 1x in 14%

5 This is Vampire Nighthawk on steroids, even before we talk about the Renew ability! Once you add Renew to the mix, it's going to produce 2-for-1s with regularity -- either that, or just outright kill your opponent. There's basically no good outcome for your opponent when this thing hits the table. 4.6 1x in 14%

5 It won't be hard for this to draw a card the turn it comes down. After all, it contributes 7 toughness -- so you just need three more to get there. And this is a huge dragon that can threaten to draw you even more cards on subsequent turns. 4.8 1x in 14%

5 This landfall trigger is absurd, especially in the aftermath of a card that wipes away much of the board. 4.8 1x in 29%
