Four Color (Non-blue) card breakdown - 2 decks, 0.55% of meta

Creatures

2.5 This fixes mana well, and it can trade for anything once it's outlived it's usefulness. 3.1 1x in 50%

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 50%

4 When this can't Mobilize super well it's a good defensive creature, and when it can mobilize lots of tokens it's a frightening attacker. Your opponent has to give something up to kill it because of death touch too, and that's not always easy against a 2/4. 4.6 1x in 50%

4 Giving your tokens -- especially the Mobilize ones -- death touch is nasty, and the baseline here is pretty good. 3.1 1x in 50%

4.6 1x in 50%

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 50%

4 I think getting this and a dragon in your opening hand is going to happen reasonably often, and when that's true this card will feel great between the treasure it gives you and the dragon that will buff Sarkhan. The baseline is fine, too. 4.7 1x in 50%

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 50%

3 A three mana 0/4 with Vigilance isn't good -- but getting three 1/1 attackers every turn is, especially because there are so many good ways to take advantage of them in the format. If your opponent doesn't have big enough stuff to take the Packbeasts down, it's going to be a real problem for them. 4.1 1x in 50%

2.5 Even at 4 this isn't terribly inefficient, as it gives you 4/4 worth of stats in the long run. 1 1x in 50%

3 This feels pretty good on one, and can even fill your curve on two if you don't have a two drop. It's attack ability helps keep it at least a little interesting all game too. 3.8 1x in 50%

3.5 A three mana 2/1 with lifelink that makes a 1/1 is a good card, and this has flexibility beyond that. 2.9 1x in 50%

3.5 This stat-line + Reach has performed well of-late, and this format is very much geared towards this triggered ability. Red decks will have no shortage of ways to generate multiple bodies. 4 1x in 50%

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 2x in 50%
Instant, Sorcery

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 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 Exiling graveyards matters in a big way in this format, and two mana edicts are usually playable to begin with. 3 1x in 50%

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. 2.9 1x in 50%

3 4 mana for sorcery-speed destroy target creature isn't great -- but adding two temporary tokens to the board is a very real upgrade. Between the removal and those new bodies, you're likely to have a much better combat than your opponent expected. 3.7 1x in 50%

2 You can use this to win longer games by getting your two best permanent decks, and the other effect can disrupt the opponent or be used to shuffle your best cards back into your deck. 1.8 1x in 50%

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 50%

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 50%

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. 1.5 1x in 50%

3.5 Sorcery-speed Shock is already pretty good, but you can cast this twice. 3.5 1x in 100%

3.5 This'll always feel like a pretty good deal since you can usuall trade up. 3.5 1x in 100%
Enchantment, Artifact

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. 3.5 1x in 0%

4.5 The Abzan mode will very quickly upgrade your board, and the Mardu mode can be good when you have lots of tokens and sacrifice stuff going on. 4.6 1x in 0%

4 This gives you some pretty legitimate ramp and fixing, and can even become a value engine in the late game. 4.9 1x in 50%

4 This adds to the board in a big way up front, does it even more with Chapter II, and then takes advantage of everything it added to the board. 4.8 1x in 50%

3.5 Paying 5 for this 100% of the time would be like a 2.0, but this will typically cost less. Keep in mind it counts attacking creatures either player controls. 4.2 1x in 50%

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. 3.6 1x in 50%

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. 3.3 1x in 50%
Planeswalkers
Lands

3 These offer great fixing in a format where that really matters. 2.2 1x in 50%

3 These offer great fixing in a format where that really matters. 2.4 1x in 50%

3 This is really good at fixing your mana, though I would value it slightly less than the gainlands. 3.6 1x in 50%

3 These offer great fixing in a format where that really matters. 2.2 1x in 50%

3 These offer great fixing in a format where that really matters. 3.3 1x in 50%

3.5 You'll cast the trick early when it's good -- which'll be pretty often -- and in the late game you get a pretty sweet dragon. 4.1 1x in 50%

3.5 This'll always feel like a pretty good deal since you can usuall trade up. 3.5 1x in 100%

3.5 Sorcery-speed Shock is already pretty good, but you can cast this twice. 3.5 1x in 100%

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 0%

4 This adds to the board in a big way up front, does it even more with Chapter II, and then takes advantage of everything it added to the board. 4.8 1x in 50%

4 This gives you some pretty legitimate ramp and fixing, and can even become a value engine in the late game. 4.9 1x in 50%

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 50%

4.5 The Abzan mode will very quickly upgrade your board, and the Mardu mode can be good when you have lots of tokens and sacrifice stuff going on. 4.6 1x in 0%

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 50%
