Pro Comment: They want to use this to enable graveyard shenanigans, but the boost it offers is so underwhelming that it just isn’t worth it – just like it wasn’t when it was printed originally in a set with Delirium.

Pro Comment: There aren’t enough Goblins in this sit for the Warchief to be worth it. It is a three mana 2/2 with Haste on its own, but that’s pretty bad.

Pro Comment: Giving this up to draw three is kind of appealing, but having to hit your opponent first is a pretty real hurdle. It is an artifact, and that matters in Blue – and it’s also kind of funny to imagine putting this on a Disguise creature and making your opponent block it before you turn it face up and crush their blocker, but this card has some serious problems.

Pro Comment: A 6-mana 5/5 that will virtually always give you a 2-for-1, and usually impact the board with whatever it Cascades into, whether it’s removal or another creature.

Pro Comment: Most of the time, this is going to trigger at least once but…that’s not a terribly exciting card. It’s mostly a bear with small upside.

Pro Comment: This is symmetrical, and tough to make work for you in Limited.

Pro Comment: This was surprisingly bad back in Crimson Vow, and I don’t see that changing here, especially because this format doesn’t have a human or +1/+1 counter theme. Even if you have Humans or counters, you have to have your stuff die before it does anything.

Pro Comment: If you can cast this, your opponent probably can’t win – but that’s not gonna happen much in Limited. It doesn’t even work as a reanimation target or Collect Evidence fodder either, since it gets shuffled into your deck.

Pro Comment: This was bad in Strixhaven, no matter how much I wanted it to be good, and it’s pretty weird for this format, because Red/White isn’t a color pair with any Collect Evidence at lower rarities, so you can’t really go off by getting 3/2s, and the format doesn’t have Spirits either.

Pro Comment: The Consign card is always a passable Limited card, and then once this is in the yard you can get a couple of cards out of your opponent’s hand. Also, this has a high mana value for Collect Evidence cards.

Pro Comment: Even if you pay the full 5 mana, you’re getting a solid deal, and improvising to play this more cheaply is pretty easy.

Pro Comment: I always love this guy when we see it. When you cycle it, it’s basically a three mana draw 2 that gets you any basic land you want, and then later in the game you can play it as a big, albeit inefficient creature. It also works really well with Collect Evidence, as it puts itself in the graveyard early, making it easier for you to Collect Evidence 6 in the early stages of the game.

Pro Comment: So, they want you to give up a Clue to make three 1/1 Goblins, and that doesn’t seem bad, especially because the Blue-Red deck has plenty of sacrifice stuff going on.

Pro Comment: You’re going to use this on yourself more than your opponent, especially if you’re collecting evidence – which is likely in Blue/Black. It does hurt your mana base a bit, and the utility it offers isn’t amazing, so you probably need a pretty good mana base and a lot of graveyard stuff to really want to use this.

Pro Comment: Ixidor's buff effect is symmetrical, which is a little awkward, but if you've gone hard on Disguise and feel that it's likely you'll have more face-down creatures than your opponents, he can work out okay.

Pro Comment: This is a graveyard format for sure, and in the past Gnaw to the Bone has worked well in really grindy graveyard decks by buying them the time they need to grind out a win. I could see this filling a similar role here, but that means it needs a build around grade.

Pro Comment: Syr Konrad has the potential to trigger a ton in this format because people will be milling themselves and removing creatures from their graveyard. It will be especially devastating in a mirror match, but even if you’re the only graveyard deck, Konrad will do some nice work.

Pro Comment: Black/White has the same theme as Mentor of the Meek – that is, 2 power or less stuff – and that works well with Disguise creatures. This can definitely give you some nice card advantage, but it doesn’t always line up nicely, and that’s a problem for a Gray Ogre.

Pro Comment: There are Vampires in this set, but not really enough for this to be worthwhile when it has such an underwhelming statline. Even in a Vampire-heavy set this didn’t perform that well.
