Pro Comment: Time ebb effects are nice, because they give Blue a way to actually trade 1-for-1, but obviously your opponent just drawing the card again isn’t quite as good as outright destroying it. Still, this being an Instant is nice, especially in a format where people are doing all kinds of instant speed shenanigans.

Pro Comment: This card is really cool, but this just isn’t the format for it. If you pay 6 mana and don’t add to the board in this format, you’re probably dead. If you can get a more defensive deck together it can obviously win you the game, but that’s easier said than done

Pro Comment: This gets the majority of its value out of just being a 5-mana 4/4 with Menace and Deathtouch. The ETB ability is definitely nice, and sometimes it will allow you to find lethal the turn it comes down, but because it is symmetrical it isn’t like it has a big impact on the race. All that said, it is a really good card – just not a bomb

Pro Comment: As always, the dual land cycle in this set offers nice fixing that you should be interested in if they are in your exact color pair, or if they help you splash something.

Pro Comment: Obviously, you can’t play this if you don’t have any Equipment or Vehicles. This format does have some decent examples of those at lower rarities though, and if you’ve got enough for this to be a 4-mana 2/2 that draws you one of them, that’s not too bad.

Pro Comment: If you need a two drop Vampire, and sometimes you do, this does that. Generally, though, you’re hoping for one that actually does some other stuff.

Pro Comment: This feels great when you’re able to Raid, as a 3-mana 2/2 that draws you a card is usually going to give you a nice 2-for-1, but being a Gray Ogre when you don’t raid is pretty miserable

Pro Comment: Huatli can crank out 3/3s to protect herself, and her +2 can help you stabilize against an opposing aggressive start. Her -X is also pretty sweet, as it can really decimate the opposing board. She’s a bomb

Pro Comment: It isn’t very hard to have targets for this, especially because it can also target itself, and it ends up giving you a ton of value for your mana

Pro Comment: So this is a card that you tap out for and it doesn’t add to the board right away, but it really pays you off for that, since you get to effectively draw an extra card every turn this is in play. Even with the extra card, transforming this isn’t the easiest thing ever, but the good news is its really powerful even if you aren’t transforming it. That said, being able to Bolt things for 3 damage over and over again is also quite powerful

Pro Comment: This can attack and block pretty well on a lot of boards, since it can threaten to kill a decent chunk of creatures who choose to engage with it. Needing to have the mana available is a real cost, and it isn’t quite as easy to take advantage of the ability as it might look at first, but it does definitely alter the way your opponent attacks and blocks.

Pro Comment: Buffing all your pirates is pretty sweet, even though this Vehicle isn’t that impressive in terms of cost and how much it crews for. It does make it easier for you to crew it because it bumps the power of your Pirates, and it is a pretty real attacker thanks to the combat damage trigger

Pro Comment: This is another expensive card that is definitely held back by the speed of this format. You want cheaper creatures for the most part. This certainly has a nice ability since it can come back to your hand, but you do need to be going reasonably wide with Vampires to do it. It is a decent payoff if you’re in the Vampire deck, but not really a premiere one

Pro Comment: Once this transforms, it can be pretty powerful. One kind of awkward thing is that virtually every deck in this format is creature heavy, and really doesn’t run that many spells, so whiffing on the Azcanta activation definitely happens. If there was more of a spell deck in this format, it would definitely get an upgrade, but as it is its just a solid card with a decent mana sink ability once it transforms

Pro Comment: This costs at on of mana an doesn’t really do much, so you don’t want to play it! Sure, you might get some treasure, but you’ll never get the alternate win condition to trigger

Pro Comment: This is one of the best Commons in the set. It can lead to absolutely absurd starts where your opponent just doesn’t get to block, and its ability stays relevant all game long, forcing your opponent to really respect it by leaving more creature’s back. Throwing in tricks or removal really makes it even better!

Pro Comment: This is Mind Rot with some decent treasure upside, but like Mind Rot usually is, it is a borderline playable and not much more than that.

Pro Comment: This is a 3-mana bomb. Obviously you need a vampire deck to really get there, but obviously that’s one of the format’s primary archetypes, so it isn’t far-fetched you do. Even on its own, it is a 3-mana 2/2 that makes a 1/1 when it attacks – which isn’t great but it is a very reasonable floor on a card that is an absolutely insane creature token engine.

Pro Comment: This has a fairly powerful effect, as bouncing all of your opponent’s stuff obviously has a huge impact on the board. However, it is really only useful aggressively. If you use this just to slow your opponent down, you’re not going to be doing a great job – though it can do that, obviously enough. Ideally, you use it to help you get in with a big swing or even a lethal one

Pro Comment: This is pretty expensive for stats that aren’t all that impressive for a vehicle. You can crew it for a reasonable two power, but it doesn’t really feel like you’re getting a deal with this
