Cruel Ultimatum
Average Picked At: 5.00
Total Times Picked: 1
Average Last Seen At: 3.60
Total Times Seen 5
Pro Rating: 2.5
Pro Comment: If you cast this, you probably win. But the mana cost is pretty tricky.
Indomitable Creativity
Average Picked At: 6.00
Total Times Picked: 1
Average Last Seen At: 7.00
Total Times Seen 2
Pro Rating: 0
Pro Comment: This is great in 60-card formats, but unplayable in Limited.
Skullcrack
Average Picked At: 15.00
Total Times Picked: 0
Average Last Seen At: 5.56
Total Times Seen 9
Pro Rating: 1
Pro Comment: Burn that only hits players is pretty bad in Limited, as it has no impact on the board. It just isn't worth going down a card for 4 damage and nothing else.
Hypothesizzle
Average Picked At: 7.00
Total Times Picked: 4
Average Last Seen At: 5.78
Total Times Seen 44
Pro Rating: 3
Pro Comment: You can just draw two with this if you want, but turning one of those cards into a deal 4 is pretty good.
Crackle with Power
Average Picked At: 1.00
Total Times Picked: 1
Average Last Seen At: 2.00
Total Times Seen 5
Pro Rating: 4
Pro Comment: This was a bomb in Strixhaven, but that was a ramp-heavy format, so I think it falls short here. Still, the baseline is a 5-mana deal 5, and if you can make it an 8 mana spell that does 10 to two creatures, you're going to win.
Archive Trap
Average Picked At: 15.00
Total Times Picked: 0
Average Last Seen At: 3.73
Total Times Seen 12
Pro Rating: 0
Pro Comment: 13 cards is a lot in Limited, but this still basically does nothing, except when your opponent actually runs out of cards. You'll cast if for 0 on occasion, but it still isn't worth it.
Abrupt Decay
Average Picked At: 2.00
Total Times Picked: 1
Average Last Seen At: 2.62
Total Times Seen 8
Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: This can hit all sorts of cheap permanents, and uncounterability actually comes up with all the Ward we see these days.
Mana Drain
Average Picked At: 6.00
Total Times Picked: 1
Average Last Seen At: 3.33
Total Times Seen 3
Pro Rating: 4.5
Pro Comment: Counterspell is a great card, and this is a better one! The extra mana it gives you will often be meaningless by the late game, but in the early to mid game, there's a good chance it lets you power something out ahead of schedule.
Humiliate
Average Picked At: 7.67
Total Times Picked: 6
Average Last Seen At: 6.91
Total Times Seen 53
Pro Rating: 2
Pro Comment: This is a reasonable discard spell, as it will usually hit something and add a little to your board.
Electrodominance
Average Picked At: 3.50
Total Times Picked: 2
Average Last Seen At: 2.80
Total Times Seen 6
Pro Rating: 2.5
Pro Comment: The burn effect isn't very efficient, and you'd be surprised how infrequently you can actually cast a spell off of this.
Decimate
Average Picked At: 8.50
Total Times Picked: 6
Average Last Seen At: 6.42
Total Times Seen 18
Pro Rating: 0.5
Pro Comment: You have to start this in your sideboard, because you just won't have targets for all four modes often enough.
Thornado
Average Picked At: 9.67
Total Times Picked: 3
Average Last Seen At: 7.09
Total Times Seen 52
Pro Rating: 0.5
Pro Comment: Even with a cycling mode, Plummet just isn't worth it in the main deck.
Journey to Nowhere
Average Picked At: 2.00
Total Times Picked: 5
Average Last Seen At: 1.57
Total Times Seen 16
Pro Rating: 4
Pro Comment: Exiling a creature for two mana is pretty insane, even if your opponent can potentially get it back later.
Anguished Unmaking
Average Picked At: 15.00
Total Times Picked: 0
Average Last Seen At: 3.60
Total Times Seen 5
Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: Hitting any nonland for three is a great deal.
Villainous Wealth
Average Picked At: 3.00
Total Times Picked: 1
Average Last Seen At: 3.33
Total Times Seen 7
Pro Rating: 2
Pro Comment: You have to pump a lot into X for this to be worthwhile, and while that might work as a win condition in some of the slower decks, we'll see if this format even allows for such a thing.
Path to Exile
Average Picked At: 15.00
Total Times Picked: 0
Average Last Seen At: 3.00
Total Times Seen 1
Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: The rate here is really good of course, but it's also not a removal spell you can use early, as the value you get is seriously diminished when you ramp and fix your opponent's mana.
Skewer the Critics
Average Picked At: 5.67
Total Times Picked: 6
Average Last Seen At: 4.65
Total Times Seen 28
Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: This is fine if you pay three for it, and paying one is awesome and very attainable.
Siphon Insight
Average Picked At: 4.00
Total Times Picked: 1
Average Last Seen At: 4.31
Total Times Seen 17
Pro Rating: 2
Pro Comment: This isn't as exciting as it looks. It's basically Anticipate with the upside of doing it twice, and the downside of not looking at your own deck which is usually better.
Voidslime
Average Picked At: 15.00
Total Times Picked: 0
Average Last Seen At: 5.12
Total Times Seen 8
Pro Rating: 1.5
Pro Comment: This is basically just cancel in limited. Countering activated or triggered abilities is rarely worth a card.
Force of Vigor
Average Picked At: 15.00
Total Times Picked: 0
Average Last Seen At: 5.33
Total Times Seen 3
Pro Rating: 0.5
Pro Comment: There aren't enough Artifacts and Enchantments in this format for this to be main deck material.
