Creatures

2 This has an okay baseline, and occasionally it'll turn into Naturalize. 1.2 1x in 25%

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 25%

3 6 mana for a 4/4 with Reach and a 3/3 is awesome, and if you just one one big body it can do that for you. 1.7 1x in 25%

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 25%

3.5 This is such a good Common, no matter which mode you get. If you get a 4-mana 5/4 that helps with token synergy -- fine, and if you get a 4-mana 4/3 that draws you a card -- great! 2.3 1x in 25%

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. 3.5 1x in 38%

2.5 This fixes mana well, and it can trade for anything once it's outlived it's usefulness. 2.8 1x in 38%

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 38%

2 This has mediocre base stats, but the Renew ability is going to give you nice value in the late game. 2 1x in 38%

2.5 The stat-line's pretty ugly, even with trample -- but this offers a pretty efficient buff from the graveyard. 2.3 1x in 38%

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. 2.7 2x in 38%

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%

3 This can trade for anything -- even dragons -- and it can even attack without giving up that ability. 3.8 1x in 50%

2.5 I don't love that this asks for two separate card types to be in your graveyard for it to do anything, but it's true that when it can get something back it'll feel pretty powerful. 3.5 1x in 50%
Instant, Sorcery

2 This is a pretty underwhelming rate to get one card back from the graveyard, even with payoffs for doing so. 2.1 1x in 12%

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 12%

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. 3.4 1x in 12%

2.5 This is a decent draw spell that gets a lot better thanks to Harmonize -- if this format is slow it might be insane, but if it's a typical format it's probably just solid because it never adds to the board. 4.1 1x in 12%

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. 3.6 1x in 12%

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 12%

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 25%

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. 2 1x in 25%

2.5 Without Harmonize this wouldn't be great -- it's a bad Unsummon. But adding Harmonzie to the mix changes the equation in a big way, since you'll often cast it twice. 2.6 1x in 25%

2 Plummet or a medium trick is what you get here, and if you're in the market for either of those, it's not bad. 1.6 1x in 25%

2.5 This gives you a 2-for-1 in the long run, and it's a cheap draw spell to help you get Flurry going. 1.7 1x in 38%

3 This is a super annoying trick that blanks removal super efficiently while leaving behind a very real buff, and it can even do the job in combat. 2.6 1x in 38%

2.5 This is a solid counterspell normally, and a pretty good one when you can Behold. 3.4 1x in 50%

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 50%
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. 3.6 1x in 0%

1.5 This type of removal is rarely good because it doesn't deliver a card worth of value. After all, what you put it on can still block -- and if it had high toughness, that's going to feel particularly brutal. 2.9 1x in 12%

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 12%

1 Neither of these modes is very meaningful in Limited. Milling your opponent out is possible, though difficult to achieve -- and playing lands from the graveyard is almost entirely relevant. -0 1x in 12%

1.5 // 3.5 This is an almost adequate mana rock, and the token it makes it the late game is pretty amazing. If you don't have amazing mana, it's not very good -- but if you can use the activated ability, you'll be pretty happy with this. 3 1x in 12%

1.5 / 3.5 An artifact that Surveils every upkeep isn't really worth this much mana, but if you have some ways to move cards out of your graveyard (and there are plenty of those) this turns into a very good value engine. 1.5 1x in 12%

5 This landfall trigger is absurd, especially in the aftermath of a card that wipes away much of the board. 4.8 1x in 12%

2.5 The baseline here is sort of acceptable, and I think in most games you'll get to cast it a second time. 4.1 1x in 12%

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. -0 1x in 25%

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 25%

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. 2.9 1x in 38%
Planeswalkers
Lands

3.5 In other 3-color formats, the tri-lands are worth pretty high picks because they make your mana so much better. 3.8 1x in 12%

3 These offer great fixing in a format where that really matters. 3.2 1x in 25%

3 These offer great fixing in a format where that really matters. 1.7 1x in 25%

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 12%

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. 4.1 1x in 12%

4 It's a little bit dangerous, but being able to cast spells on the cheap and getting a huge lifelink dragon will mostly offset the downside. 5 1x in 12%

4 The baseline here is basically a 5-mana 3/2 and a 2/2, but it's so much better than that -- not only because it can just be one big creature, but also because endure keeps triggering when it attacks. So it can grow itself, or spit out more tokens -- either way, you're going to feel good about things. 3.8 1x in 12%

4 This can generate a 2-for-1 in most scenarios and provide all kinds of disruption. -0 1x in 12%

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. -0 1x in 25%

4 The idea here is to search up cards with Harmonize or Renew -- and the Dancers is pretty good with both mechanics thanks to it's large lifelink body. 1.8 1x in 25%

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 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 25%

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 25%

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 25%

5 This landfall trigger is absurd, especially in the aftermath of a card that wipes away much of the board. 4.8 1x in 12%

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 12%

5 This will end the game in a few turns if you can't deal with it. Not only does it grow, it also makes all of your creature spells way better. 4.8 1x in 25%
