Creatures

3 If you can get in with this right away it'll feel pretty good. Problem is, the stat-line is very bad and other dragons in the set at the same mana value -- or cheaper -- are going to outclass it. 3.7 1x in 33%

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 33%

4.5 Casting this will win you the game virtually every time, and there's enough ramp around for this to be castable -- but it will get stuck in your hand sometimes. 4.8 1x in 33%

4 This red mana dork is sweet, as it can help with your mana in a big way. Dropping 4-drops when your opponent only has 3 mana is sweet -- and once you don't really need mana anymore, it can take down dragons. 3.9 1x in 33%

2 This is here to enable Harmonize, but I'm a little skeptical you want to play a creature with very mediocre stats and a rummage trigger. 1.4 1x in 33%

2.5 This is a solid defensive creature that helps filter your mana, and those two things go together pretty well. -0 1x in 33%

2.5 This is better than most versions of this card since it can legit be a 2-for-1 when you have a dragon. 1 1x in 33%

2.5 It's a tiny bit overcosted, but it's still a fairly relevant body that subtracts from your opponent's board. 1.5 1x in 33%

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. 5 1x in 33%

2.5 He gives you card advantage -- but only in the long run. Waiting several turns to get that card is kind of a pain after you already jumped through hoops to double spell in the first place. 5 1x in 33%

3 A 4-mana 2/3 with Flying and Ward 2 isn't great, but if you even get one counter on it, you're going to feel pretty good about things -- and that seems eminently doable. 2.5 1x in 33%

3.5 Getting a counter every turn adds up quickly, and this can start the turn it comes down. 3 1x in 33%

4 This is an absurd common. A three mana 2/1 that just draws you a card would be a very good Common -- but this is way better, because it gives you selection and loads your graveyard. 3.1 1x in 50%

2.5 This'll set up your graveyard and help you hit a land drop reasonably often, and sometimes a 1/1 with a counter is what you want too. 2.5 1x in 50%
Instant, Sorcery

2 5 mana for 5 damage is pretty bad. It's just hard to feel good about spending that much mana to remove most creatures, but the exile clause is nice, and if you can spend the three mana it gives you on something you'll feel pretty good. Most of the time, you won't be able to make use of the mana though. 2.7 1x in 17%

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. 1.3 1x in 17%

3 This is a very nice counterspell because it scales all game long, and it can even be super efficient at times. 2.3 1x in 17%

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. 2.7 1x in 17%

3.5 Sorcery-speed Shock is already pretty good, but you can cast this twice. 3.5 1x in 17%

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. 3.5 1x in 17%

3 We see this card all the time without the counter mode, and it's always at least a 2.5, and often better. So, throw in the fact that this can be bad Negate in a pinch, and this looks like a quality card. 1.2 1x in 33%

4 This gives you two 5/5s, and that's quite the two for one. The first token can help you Harmonize the second one. 3.6 1x in 33%

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 33%

3 Dividing damage is a big deal. Killing two X/1s with this feels great, and you can also use it to Shock your opponent, or do 1 to a creature and 1 to your opponent. 1.8 1x in 33%

3 The base form of this card is very solid, and Harmonizing it late is likely to have a big impact on the board in a format with lots of counters. 3.3 1x in 33%

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 50%

4 Even if this was Sorcery-speed 100% of the time it'd be a very good card. Two mana for 4 damage is a great rate and you can trade up, sometimes in a big way. So, the fact that this'll be an instant a significant chunk of the time is amazing. 4.3 1x in 50%

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 50%
Enchantment, Artifact

2 It's frustrating that this kind of gets irrelevant in long games, but being a super cheap removal spell seems useful alongside Flurry. 0.4 1x in 17%

5 This landfall trigger is absurd, especially in the aftermath of a card that wipes away much of the board. 4.8 1x in 17%

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 17%

1.5 This will feel good when it works out, but the baseline is pretty bad. 2 1x in 17%

2.5 Fixing is important in this format, and ramp looks real enough in Green for this to be solid. 2.9 1x in 17%

3 You'll be able to equip this for 3 or 2 pretty easily, and anything with three colors can be equipped for only one mana, and the buff it offers is pretty legit. 4.6 1x in 17%

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. 2.6 1x in 33%

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. 3.2 1x in 33%

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 33%

3 Casting this only once feels fine, and it won't be unusual to get to cast it again later in the game. 4 1x in 33%

3 As usual, Banishing Light-like cards are pretty good in Limited. It's not the most efficient thing ever and it's Sorcery speed, but it can hit any nonland. 3.7 1x in 33%
Planeswalkers
Lands

3 These offer great fixing in a format where that really matters. 2.3 1x in 33%

3.5 In other 3-color formats, the tri-lands are worth pretty high picks because they make your mana so much better. 3.4 1x in 33%

3 These offer great fixing in a format where that really matters. 3 1x in 33%

3 These offer great fixing in a format where that really matters. 2.9 1x in 33%

3.5 Getting a counter every turn adds up quickly, and this can start the turn it comes down. 3 1x in 33%

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. 3.4 1x in 17%

4 This is an excellent common. Paying the base cost isn't a disaster, and it will virtually always cost a lot less while generating a nice 2-for-1. 3.5 1x in 17%

4 This has great stats and the format has enough non-basic lands for the trigger to be relevant when you play it on turn 4. It does have diminishing returns the later the game gets, though. 4.6 1x in 17%

4 This gives you two 5/5s, and that's quite the two for one. The first token can help you Harmonize the second one. 3.6 1x in 33%

4 This red mana dork is sweet, as it can help with your mana in a big way. Dropping 4-drops when your opponent only has 3 mana is sweet -- and once you don't really need mana anymore, it can take down dragons. 3.9 1x in 33%

4 This is an absurd common. A three mana 2/1 that just draws you a card would be a very good Common -- but this is way better, because it gives you selection and loads your graveyard. 3.1 1x in 50%

4.5 This is a massive road block that your opponent can't just ignore, and because of Ward they will never destroy it efficiently. It can protect you when it has to, and then turn into a turtle Ancestral Recall once you feel like you can attack. It's likely the cards you draw let you add to the board, making up for it being tapped. 4.9 1x in 17%

4.5 This has good stats and can help you load your graveyard in a big way, and it's Renew ability is capable of adding a huge number of counters to your board. 5 1x in 17%

4.5 Casting this will win you the game virtually every time, and there's enough ramp around for this to be castable -- but it will get stuck in your hand sometimes. 4.8 1x in 33%
