Creatures

3 This is great when you reanimate it, and definitely gives you 7 mana worth of value when you have to cast it. 3.8 1x in 23%

2 This is pretty bad at first glance, but it can trigger eerie at instant speed and help you get delirium both with it's own body and Surveil. 1.6 1x in 26%

3.5 Spending two mana to get a 1/1 and a 2/2 is great, and that 2/2 has big upside. 2.7 1x in 26%

3 The stat-line's solid, and you're definitely going to load your graveyard and smooth out your draws with this trigger. 2.6 1x in 29%

2 This can do some interesting stuff, like rebuy ETBs or eerie triggers, but the alternate cost is pretty significant and makes it a pretty bad card in your opening hand. 4.3 1x in 29%

3 This will frequently have Menace and Deathtouch. It won't quite always have them -- Glimmers are around, including at lower rarities -- but it has them often enough to be a nice 5-drop, especially in decks that care about Enchantments. 2 1x in 29%

2 I think not being able to block hurts this in a big way. Lifelink makes up for it a little bit. If this format ends up being slower, this'll go up -- but right now I'm not super impressed. 2.4 1x in 31%

2.5 This is tough to kill without your opponent 2-for-1ing themselves, and the fact you can cycle it away early for a Swamp and reanimate it is pretty great for Black/white decks. 2.2 1x in 31%

2.5 5-mana 4/4 Flyers aren't as good as they used to be, especially when they don't have ETB or death triggers, but this attack trigger is pretty good at giving this an effect even when it isn't your turn. 3.6 1x in 34%

2.5 This can produce mana for Manifest Dread or all the Enchantments in the format, and that's pretty useful. 1.9 1x in 34%

3 This gives you a lot for one mana. It's got a solid baseline and it's great sacrifice fodder and gets you halfway to delirium all on it's own. 1.9 1x in 34%

3.5 I don't love how inefficiently this starts out, but if you get even one counter on him that's no longer a problem. 4.2 1x in 34%

3 This will often be a 4/5 with lifelink on your turn and that's a very problematic body for your opponent -- and sometimes it'll be a 6/5 or bigger. 2.8 1x in 37%

3.5 Three mana 2/2s that make a 1/1 always perform well, and this one triggers Eerie. 2.2 1x in 43%
Instant, Sorcery

1.5 Even if you always got all three of these effects, they are narrow enough that this card wouldn't be insane, so jumping through hoops to get them all doesn't seem worth it to me. 1.9 1x in 6%

2 This is a little bit too expensive for me to be excited about, but it's a trick that does the job in Black aggro decks. 1.1 1x in 6%

2.5 I'm interested in the first copy of this if I'm in a Delirium deck, as it can get Delirium singlehandedly. Not adding to the board is a bit of a problem, but the life gain helps. 2.6 1x in 9%

2.5 This can counter almost every spell in the format, and the Enchantment mode is useful on occasion. The double Blue holds it back a bit, though. 3.3 1x in 11%

2.5 This effect for 4 mana is always solid removal. It's never insane, but it trades 1-for-1 and as an instant has 2-for-1 potential. The surveil is nice added value. 2.1 1x in 14%

4 This is a Manifest Dread version of Man-O-War, and that seems excellent. Adding to the board while taking away from your opponent's board is great, and this 2/2 has massive upside. 4.4 1x in 14%

3 The modality here is important, because getting only one of these options wouldn't be great. Reanimating a creature at instant speed can generate blowouts when the situation is right, and you can just cast it as an inefficient removal spell when you have to. 4 1x in 14%

4 This is a removal spell that lets you get access to an ETB and/or death trigger from an opposing creature, and if you're in Black/Red, you might even be abel to sacrifice it. 4.4 1x in 14%

2 You're overpaying for either of these, but getting the option between them makes this playable. 1.6 1x in 23%

1.5 // 3.5 If you're in the BR sacrifice deck you can do some nasty things with this. If you're not...you can end up 2-for-1ing yourself with this, and that's not what you want to be doing. 3.2 1x in 29%

3 Removing a creature -- and sometimes even trading up -- is pretty great when you also gain life. 2.5 1x in 31%

2.5 The double Black can be surprisingly tough to have when you need it in Limited, but it's still nice removal. 3.7 1x in 31%

3.5 This has lots of targets in the format, and it's well worth losing life for removal this efficient and flexible. 3.9 1x in 31%

2.5 An instant-speed 4-mana draw 2 that adds to the board -- and triggers eerie, is something that I'd like one copy of in many Blue decks. 2.5 1x in 37%
Enchantment, Artifact

3.5 You get a ton for your investment here, between a 2/2 with upside and an Equipment that can offer flying to anything. 3.6 1x in 11%

1.5 // 3.0 This is Raise Dead with some legit upside, especially in Black/White decks. 3.6 1x in 14%

1.5 Getting two pretty weak effects for three mana isn't great, but this is an Enchantment format, so this is probably a little better than it looks. 1.3 1x in 14%

3 Meat Locker has an effect that impacts the board, and Drowned Diner lets you dig deeper in your deck later in the game. I'm pretty happy with both of those things. 3 1x in 17%

2 This is a solid equipment that can even trigger eerie. 2.9 1x in 17%

2 This is better than most three mana mana rocks because it actually turns into a threat late. 2.2 1x in 17%

5 You usually want to get the demon first in this case -- a 5-mana 6/6 Flyer is great, and then if you can start drawing cards and draining 2 life every time you do, the game's going to end in your favor. 4.8 1x in 23%

3.5 A Sorcery-speed bounce for one mana is pretty decent -- and this comes with big Enchantment upside - and this turns into a card advantage engine in the late game. 3.6 1x in 26%

4 Two mana for -3/-3 at instant speed is already great, but this also triggers Eerie and is good sacrifice fodder. Sometimes the ward/hexproof upside will matter too. 4.1 1x in 29%

3 This is pretty good removal even without the activated ability, but that ability is great because it gives you a mana sink late that lets you add to the board. 3.8 1x in 31%

1 This style of removal is always bad, no mattter how efficient it looks. This is because you don't actually trade 1-for-1, since they hold on to their creature and can still do stuff with it -- like block. 3.2 1x in 34%

3 This is a pretty weird take on an edict effect. You have some control over it, since the creature it gets put on can't be sacrificed -- and you can even put it on your own creature if your opponent only has one. But it definitely removes something and then gives you a ltitle upside beyond that. 3.4 1x in 34%

2 Three mana to draw 2 and lose 2 life is decently playable, and this one triggers eerie. Widow's Walk isn't great, but it's upside on a decent card. 1.7 1x in 34%

2.5 I don't love that the cheaper side doesn't impact the board, but Slimy Aquarium does -- so it's sort of like you pay 5-mana for a 3/3 with Surveil 2, but you pay in installments. That's not too bad. 2.6 1x in 37%
Planeswalkers

4 Kaito is strong, but not the type of planeswalker who takes over any game when he hits the table. His +1 mostly only affects him in this set, unfortunately, and he doesn't make tokens or protect himself in a meaningful way, like most bomb walkers. 5 1x in 14%
Lands

3 These offer great fixing, as they will usually be untapped by the mid to late game. 3.6 1x in 9%

3 These offer great fixing, as they will usually be untapped by the mid to late game. 1.2 1x in 9%

3 The enchantment typing here is huge, as it gives you a way to trigger eerie with a land -- and it even fixes your mana! 4 1x in 9%

3 This is good fixing, and is also good for delirium and sacrifice decks. 3.1 1x in 29%

3 These offer great fixing, as they will usually be untapped by the mid to late game. 1.7 1x in 34%

4 This is a Manifest Dread version of Man-O-War, and that seems excellent. Adding to the board while taking away from your opponent's board is great, and this 2/2 has massive upside. 4.4 1x in 14%

4 This has a nice baseline and major upside. The Delirium trigger is legit. While the first one might not hurt your opponent too much, after that, the choices are going to be tough to make. 3.8 1x in 14%

4 Two mana for -3/-3 at instant speed is already great, but this also triggers Eerie and is good sacrifice fodder. Sometimes the ward/hexproof upside will matter too. 4.1 1x in 29%

4.5 This generates a 2-for-1 up front while loading your graveyard in a format where that's a huge deal, and if your opponent doesn't stop it, it's going to just win the game for you. 4.6 1x in 3%

4.5 This is removal on one side and a card advantage engine on the other side. The value is pretty absurd. 4.1 1x in 6%

4.5 All of these triggers are really good. Generally, you're probably going to go for the card first to make sure you get a 2-for-1, then you'll get the counters, then you'll transform it into your best creature. That's pretty insane for two mana. 4.7 1x in 11%

4.5 Flash makes it really easy to draw cards with this, and it isn't capped at one card per creature! Add in the fact that shutting this effect down entirely is super tough, and we're talking about a bomb. 4.7 1x in 14%

4.5 The Eerie trigger here is insanely strong, and because it has Flash, it's easier to find a window where you can get this down and trigger it before your opponent can ever remove it. 4.8 1x in 14%

5 Even without delirium you can pay 6 total mana to do 3 to three targets which is an excellent card, and once you have Delirium it's even more gamebreaking. 4.9 1x in 3%

5 This is a three-for-1 upfront -- and one that triggers eerie twice. Niko's activated ability isn't always useful, but it's upside on a card that's alredy excellent. -0 1x in 6%

5 Even if this didn't have Impending, it'd be great -- a 5-mana 5/3 flyer that makes sure you get a 2-for-1 and helps you load the graveyard. Add Impending to the mix, and this is obviously a huge bomb. 4.6 1x in 14%

5 You usually want to get the demon first in this case -- a 5-mana 6/6 Flyer is great, and then if you can start drawing cards and draining 2 life every time you do, the game's going to end in your favor. 4.8 1x in 23%
