Obscura Polymorphist

Pro Comment: I love that you can use this to give up something on board to draw a card or you can use it to get rid of an opposing creature. And sure, your opponent gets a card back, but that is often well worth dealing with a problem threat.
Agent of Raffine
Pro Rating: 3.0
Pro Comment: This is basically a one mana ½ that can draw you a card for two mana. That’s a pretty great place to sink mana, even if you don’t have control over what you get.
Diviner of Fates
Pro Rating: 4.5
Pro Comment: This is a three mana 2/3 that Connives when it enters – I’m already very interested in that! In addition to looting when it enters, you also get an additional card when you discard your first card every turn, and that’s going to include Diviner of Fates Connive. Even if you never trigger it again, you’re going to feel pretty great about what it has done, and if you can do it more than once, it is pretty tough for you to lose.
Giant Regrowth
Pro Rating: 1.5
Pro Comment: Regrowth only sometimes make the cut in Limited, and stapling Giant Growth to it doesn’t really do enough to change that.
Spara's Bodyguard
Pro Rating: 4.0
Pro Comment: So, this is either a 3-mana 3/3 with a Shield counter, or a 3-mana 3/3 that gives a shield counter to something in your hand. It is very nice that they made it so this does something even if you don’t have a creature in your hand, unlike some of the other cards in the set that can only do stuff for cards in your hand. On top of that, it also gets buffed by Shield counters!
Rope Line Attendant
Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: It is pretty difficult for you to lose if this is in your opening hand, as adding a token to all your creatures is incredible. On the flip side, if you have 0-1 creatures in your hand, this doesn’t do much.
Xander's Wake
Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: This is pretty strong, as it makes trading a creature into a 2-for-1. You also know you’re always going to get a pretty real card from the Wake, and if you’re also sacrificing creatures it gets even better!
Celestial Vault
Pro Rating: 2.5
Pro Comment: This is a bit clunky, but it is a source of card advantage that can really help. However, sometimes it is just too slow and you get run over..
Herald of Vengeance
Pro Rating: 4.5
Pro Comment: This doesn’t always line up to actually kill something, but it has a great stat-line, so the fail case is pretty reasonable. Meanwhile, it has the upside of destroying multiple things!
Bank Job
Pro Rating: 4.5
Pro Comment: This is a three mana enchantment that effectively draws you an extra card every turn, and that’s incredible. The card will also never be anything other than a creature, and most of the time that’s what you would prefer anyway! The fact you get a consolation prize of Treasure is pretty nice too.
Spelldrain Assassin
Pro Rating: 2.0
Pro Comment: Obviously, you have to have a spell in your hand when you cast this or it doesn’t do anything. And, while adding Casualty 2 to a spell is definite upside, a 2-power creature worth sacrificing can often be hard to come by.
Racketeer Boss
Pro Rating: 3.0
Pro Comment: This has good stats, and making it so two cards in your hand make Treasure on ETB is quite nice. The downside is, this is really only great in the early game, when you’re likely to have those two cards. The longer the game goes, the less likely it is that the ability will matter.

Pro Rating: 4.0
Pro Comment: 4-mana for a 4/5 with Flying and Ward 1 is something you would always play, so the fact that this stocks the graveyard and can even give you a Dig Up the Body is pretty legit upside.
Nightclub Bouncer
Pro Rating: 4.0
Pro Comment: A 4-mana 2/3 with Flash that bounces a nonland permanent is something you would always play, so the upside of making that card also cost one additional mana is just gravy.
Graven Archfiend
Pro Rating: 3.0
Pro Comment: This is mostly just a 5-mana 4/5 Flyer, which is solid enough. The upside of getting Demonic Pact is pretty dangerous – it is a card that has “You lose the game” in the text box, after all! But the other effects of the Pact are pretty good, and sometimes you’ll be in a situation where getting the Pact helps you win in a turn or two. So, being able to get the Pact is definitely upside, just not upside you should really cash in on unless you’re reasonably certain you can win in the very near future.
Back-Alley Gardener
Pro Rating: 2.5
Pro Comment: If you’re interested in ramping, this can definitely do it. Most decks in the format aren’t super interested in going that route, though.
Big Spender
Pro Rating: 2.5
Pro Comment: A two mana 2/1 with Haste is pretty reasonable, and generating Treasure certainly matters! Actually cashing treasure in to draft a card doesn’t line up that often, though.
Traumatic Prank
Pro Rating: 3.5
Pro Comment: This is a pretty neat take on a Threaten effect, since it actually gives you a ton of value even if you are unable to sacrifice the stolen creature – and that’s usually what you have to do to get enough value out of an effect like this. But, this pushes that notion aside, as making the creature unable to block and making it damage your opponent gives you enough that most Red decks are just interested in playing this. It is great for aggressive decks.
Choice of Fortunes
Pro Rating: 3.0
Pro Comment: This is Divination with upside! That makes for a decent card.
Skyline Savior
Pro Rating: 4.0
Pro Comment: A creature with this statline is pretty much always a 3.0 or 3.5, and the Savior comes with some great upside. It can get especially silly if the creature has an ETB ability, but even if it doesn’t, it is often worth returning something to buff it.
