Pro Comment: Cancel usually is something like a 1.0 in Limited, it comes with all the downside that is inherent to counterspells – most notably, you better have the mana at the exact right time for it to actually do something! But, the Wizard clause here is a big deal, as this turns into straight up Counterspell, which is a significantly better card. If you’re in Blue (and uh, you are if you’re playing this), being able to cast this for UU will happen pretty often.

Pro Comment: Getting the counter with this won’t come up a ton, but being an instant speed fight effect is a fine baseline.

Pro Comment: Jhoira will turn a ton of your deck into cantrips, which is pretty great and can definitely snowball on your opponent. Her own stats aren’t great, and she can get blown up before doing anything for you, but if left unchecked the card advantage she gives you will be amazing.

Pro Comment: The stats here aren’t great, and there’s not any payoff in this set for Elementals, so you won’t play this most of the time.

Pro Comment: Like most two-color cycles of lands, these are some pretty nice fixing, and they’ll often come into play untapped.

Pro Comment: The effect here is pretty strong, as cashing in artifacts for cards can be a good deal, but it isn’t always easy to set up.

Pro Comment: This is just too expensive for what it is. Its ETB trigger won’t do anything far more often than it will. And sure, resetting a Saga or triggering an ETB ability again seems cool, but it won’t happen as often as you’d think.

Pro Comment: Like this whole cycle, actually playing the Chainwhirler is a bit of a challenge, but if your deck can support a triple Red card, it ends up being pretty good. A 3-mana 3/3 with First Strike is nice, and doing 1 to your opponent and all their stuff will often allow you to kill at least one thing, especially because you can wait until after combat to do some damage. Still, your average deck in this format just won’t be able to cast the Chainwhirler easily enough.

Pro Comment: Even in this relatively slow format, Weight of Memory often feels very clunky. Still, 5 mana to draw 3 isn’t too shabby, even if the mill part of the card will have very little impact.

Pro Comment: 5 mana for a tutor effect just isn’t worth it 99% of the time. And yeah, you do get to tutor up two things, but this is still woefully inefficient, and spending a turn casting this and not adding to the board is rough.

Pro Comment: This card really overperforms. 5-mana ¾ Flyers are usually somewhat passable, but in this format that statline is especially good. Additionally, Scry 2 is a nice thing to add to an already solid creature.

Pro Comment: This has great base stats and the hexproof ability can really put a damper on your opponents plans. Now, if they have removal that can kill Shalai, it will be a little sad, but sometimes making your opponent have to kill Shalai before targeting other things is upside on its own. Shalai gets absolutely bonkers in a deck where you can use the activated ability though, as pumping your whole board – including Shalai, can quickly snowball.

Pro Comment: If you have Artifacts, being able to hurl them at your opponent’s dome and creatures feels pretty good, but this format doesn’t have so many that doing that is really easy.

Pro Comment: A two-mana 2/2 isn’t a bad baseline, but this often isn’t much more than that. That’s because, by the part of the game where you can pay kicker costs, a 3/3 with Menace usually isn’t going to be the most…well…menacing creature around.

Pro Comment: This can be somewhat appealing if you have some significantly powerful permanents, but just spinning your wheels for this kind of card selection can be a bit of liability.

Pro Comment: So, it is pretty easy to make Torgaar a 6 mana 7/6 with a pretty nice ETB ability. Just having a single creature to sacrifice is not far-fetched, especially in BG, where it is likely you have a few Saprolings lying around. The ETB ability here is an interesting one, because it can be used two different ways. If your opponent has more than 10 life, you can target them and lower them to 10 life. And, if you have less than 10 life, you can target yourself, and go up to 10 life. Sometimes the ETB will make very little difference, but because it can be used in two different ways, it will often do a little something, which is nice on a 6-mana 7/6 – and it will be cheaper than that a decent chunk of the time!
