Pro Comment: This is a really roundabout way to give one of your creatures double strike! You basically pay 4 mana and then 1 to equip the original one as well as the copy. That’s..not a great rate. And yeah, it gets better in situations where you can buff the creature, but the Knuckles don’t buff the thing at all, so it had better already be a pretty good attacker. It gets especially ugly in situations where your opponent can deal with one of the copies, and then your creature just loses double strike on the spot – and there isn’t really enough good Equipment around for this to work that often without its copy.

Pro Comment: This is a fairly legitimate win condition in slower Blue decks in the format, and especially in Blue-Black where you have lots of incentive to mill yourself.

Pro Comment: There are a few sweet targets for this in the format, but not really enough that it is something you should ever take highly.

Pro Comment: These offer good fixing, and being able to pitch them for a whole card in the late game is really nice, as it offers you some flood insurance and gives you somethign to do with all your mana. Like most duals, this is something you should value as a C+. It will really help your mana, and that’s more important than normal in a set with a big 3-color focus.

Pro Comment: So, Urabrask effectively draws you an extra card every turn, while downgrading your opponents draw on their turn. Forcing them to play the card that is revealed now or never is going to be pretty nice sometimes, and it will definitely force them to make some painful decisions. It is actually a really cool design for Red to get this type of effect as a way to downgrade an opponents draw. Anyway, Urabrask is definitely a bomb – he also brings decent stats to go with the exile card draw effects.

Pro Comment: These all offer really great fixing for a set with three color factions, and adding Cycling to the mix is actually a pretty big deal, because it means if you’re flooding late, this is a land you can just throw away. The fact they all have three land types also provides for some additional upside.

Pro Comment: Say hello to the new Thragtusk that is just..mostly better than Thragtusk, which is kind of nuts! This more than gives you your mana’s worth, whether you cast it normally or Blitz it. Casting it normally is probably better most of the time, since it is such a pain to block or attack into for your opponent, since they know you’re going to get a sizable creature token when the Warchief dies. Blitzing it can generate some even more absurd advantage though, which is why they put it at one mana higher. You get 3 life, a 4/4, and a 5/3 trampler Ball Lightning that draws you a card when it dies. Yeah, this is definitely a bomb. Just too much value!

Pro Comment: Without Casualty, this kind of counter spell isn't great, since your opponent is likely to have the spare mana the longer the game goes on. With casualty…I still don't think it is great, but obviously it will allow you to counter more spells more often.

Pro Comment: This takes some significant set up. You need instants and sorceries in your graveyard and creatures who are worth sacrificing, and while both of things will happen fairly organically with the Maestros, it still feels like a lot of set up that will require a deck with just the right mix of cards to make this work consistently. Even in a Maestros deck, I have a feeling this is a build around.

Pro Comment: At worst, you get to Scry the top card of your library every turn, and you’ll draw a decent chunk of the time. Cabaretti is really into the Alliance mechanic, and this can help you draw more creatures to get your triggers going. This will build a lot of card advantage.

Pro Comment: This looks really good to me. Even without Blitz, coming with the ability to make a Blitzish version of one of your creatures in play is pretty darn good, because it means you can send in a hasty copy of your best creature that will also draw you a card when it dies, and that means you get back the card you discarded. And its going to die, because it has the same clause that Blitz creatures do. She herself also has Blitz, which sometimes will allow her to come down and finish off an opponent out of nowhere, or make a copy of something right away, but I actually think just straight-up casting her is the way to get the most value out of her. She’s a bit fragile, but it seems like she will be able to take over games.

Pro Comment: This has passable stats and a decent Alliance trigger. Gaining a bit of life here and there can add up sometimes, and that’s especially true with the tokens you’ll be making in Cabaretti!

Pro Comment: An Enchantment that gives you a counter every turn is already a pretty good card, and the hideaway upside here isn't completely inaccessible either.

Pro Comment: The bad stats here are going to bite you sometimes, since it can die to really cheap removal despite costing 4 mana, but hey – at least you’re trading 1-for-1, and the Alliance effect this has is a pretty big deal. Stopping a creature from blocking tends to drastically alter a turn, although your opponent will know this is coming, so it isn’t quite as impressive as versions of it that come out of nowhere. But still, your opponent has to alter their game plan once you play something like this, because they just may be unable to block! If you get alliance twice with it, not only are two things not blocking, but you can also force an attack – which will mean that thing won’t be blocking on the next turn either!

Pro Comment: Unblockable when attacking alone + the ability to Connive every time you hit the opponent is kind of decent for the cost, but I don’t feel like its worth the inherent risk of playing an Aura. Connive isn’t quite worth a card after you do it once, though, and that means if your opponent can deal with whatever you put this on before you do it a second time, you’re ending up way behind. So, in the end, this feels like an Aura that won’t quite do enough to be worth the risk. Even if you’re discarding things for value, I’m skeptical.

Pro Comment: This obviously has the potential to get absolutely massive, but it has some pretty awful starting stats that will allow your opponent to pay 1 to 2 mana to kill your five drop, and that’s always pretty rough. What’s more is, losing life on your turn won’t be super easy – so you’re mostly going to be leaning on the life gain angle, which will happen, but it also isn’t a massive theme in this format.

Pro Comment: This is a reprint, and not an especially good one. Last time we saw it there was a significant life gain theme, but that’s not really the case here, so gaining life with this isn’t that great. There are a few cards in the format that check for life loss and life gain, and this could do some work in such a deck, but a lot of the time this is just a Bear.

Pro Comment: This seems pretty darn good. It is a vehicle-based version of the ETB exile effect we see a lot in White, and in some ways I think that actually makes it better! This is because your opponent will likely have a harder time dealing with it, since it isn’t always a creature. So, yeah – 5mana to exile something and get a 4/4 vehicle with Crew 2 seems like an excellent deal, and you can even switch up whatever you have exiled with it.

Pro Comment: If you get this on a creature early, it is going to allow you to really run away with the game. Your creature won’t be easily blocked and you’ll generate treasure that allows you to pull further ahead. It does have diminishing returns as the game goes on, but this is capable of effectively ending games very early.

Pro Comment: This is a good Common. A three mana 2/1 that makes a 1/1 – in a color that has lots of pay offs for going wide – is a pretty nice card – probably a C+. So, also having the Treasure option is nice upside – sometimes you’ll want it to help you ramp, and sometimes you’ll be in a deck that cares about Treasure than it does going wide, especially if you’re in Red/Green.
