Creatures

2.5 This has passable stats and a death trigger that makes up for it's low toughness, and the Enchantment typing is pretty important. 2 1x in 23%

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 23%

3.5 The stat-line here isn't great, but this is probably the strongest survival trigger on any Common or Uncommon in the set. Triggering it even once is incredible. 4 1x in 23%

4 This Delirium trigger usually means you're going to get at least a 2-for-1, and left unchecked Wickerfolk Thresher takes over the game -- all while having a very solid baseline. 4.4 1x in 23%

3.5 This is effectively a removal spell with a whole bunch of upside, since if you'd rather not get rid of your opponent's creature, you can hold on to a 2/1 with Vigilance and use it to do some damage while the creature is stunned. 3.9 1x in 24%

2 This can be imposing in the late game, and cashing it in early for an Island isn't too bad. 1.4 1x in 25%

1.5 // 4.0 This is an insane Manifest Dread build around, as it turns every manifest into a 2/2 that draws you a card - - and there's plenty of manifest. 4 1x in 29%

2 This is a big creature late -- albeit one that doesn't really give you 6 mana's worth of value -- and you can throw it away early for a land, which is necessary sometimes. 2.1 1x in 30%

2.5 A 5-mana 5/4 that dies into a 2/2 token is solid, and this is significantly better than that. 2.4 1x in 31%

2.5 This can put up to three cards into the graveyard all on it's own, and it has passable stats to begin with. 3.1 1x in 32%

3.5 A three mana 2/1 without the delirium effect here would probably be a 3.0, since grabbing a land is such good value -- a 2-for-1 is pretty easy to produce! So, the fact that this gains a relevant body later in the game is pretty awesome. 3.5 1x in 33%

4 A two mana 2/3 that loots every turn is already really, really good. And Blue/Green decks won't even have to discard with it every time. 4.2 1x in 38%

2.5 This has a solid baseline, and while the attack trigger isn't always relevant, it is often enough for this to be solid. 2.5 1x in 38%

3 This isn't very hard to grow, especially in Blue/Green, and having Vigilance makes it both a brick wall and a great attacker. 2.4 1x in 40%
Instant, Sorcery

5 If you pay 5 total mana you get two 4/4s with big upside. That's insane, and it only gets better from there. 4.9 1x in 10%

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 16%

2.5 There are enough artifacts and enchantments in this set for this to be main deck material, and shuffling your stuff back into your library can have real value too. 2.4 1x in 17%

2.5 This wins a creature virtually any combat and blanks virtually any removal spell -- that's exactly what you want in a trick. 1.5 1x in 17%

4 This would be good in a set without the survival mechanic -- in a set where tapping your creatures can come with extra value, it's pretty insane. 3.8 1x in 19%

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 23%

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 24%

2 Two mana counterspells have been pretty good lately, although most of them come with more upside than this. 1.9 1x in 24%

2.5 There are enough artifacts and enchantments in this set for this to be main deck material, especially because even when you don't have a target you can get a 2/2. 3.5 1x in 24%

2 You're overpaying for either of these, but getting the option between them makes this playable. 1.6 1x in 27%

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 31%

2.5 This is right on rate for manifesting dread, and particualrly spicy in a Blue/green deck with lots of payoffs for manifest. 3.5 1x in 35%

3.5 This is a sweet 2-for-1, and you can even get back the card you put into your graveyard with the manifest trigger. 4.5 1x in 36%

4 This is a super pushed Green removal spell, since it takes away all the downsides bite/fight cards usually have. For one thing, your opponent can't blow you out. For another, even if you dont' have a big enough creature in play, you probably have one in your hand that can do the job. 3.5 1x in 39%
Enchantment, Artifact

1.5 This can trigger Eerie at instant speed or save a Survival creature in combat, but it's pretty clunky. 1.4 1x in 8%

2 Mind Controls are usually pretty insane, but they really made sure this one wouldn't be. You can look at this as a 6-mana removal spell that gives you a barely relevant piece of material -- like a 1/4 with no abilities, or something like that. 2.1 1x in 9%

2.5 This is pretty insane if you get it early, as you can disrupt graveyard decks while turning this into a win condition. If you get it late, though, it's pretty bad as you don't have the time for this sort of thing in many situations. 4.6 1x in 9%

2 This is a solid equipment that can even trigger eerie. 2.9 1x in 12%

2.5 This is a 4-mana 4/3 with tons of upside. Hard to be upset with that. 3.3 1x in 16%

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 18%

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 22%

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 24%

4 This gives you three pieces of material on the cheap, between the 2/2, the enchantment itself, and the land. And you can even get more lands later! 3.6 1x in 28%

3.5 Two mana for a 2/2 with flash and additional upside is great, and when you choose to manifest creatures this gives you a big bonus. 3.4 1x in 29%

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 29%

2.5 Weight Room adds to the board, so this looks pretty solid to me. It's kind of like fixing in the early game that's kind of free, since you get a big creature later. 2.8 1x in 31%

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 35%

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 36%
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 1%
Lands

3 These offer great fixing, as they will usually be untapped by the mid to late game. 1.2 1x in 5%

3 These offer great fixing, as they will usually be untapped by the mid to late game. 3.7 1x in 5%

3 These offer great fixing, as they will usually be untapped by the mid to late game. 2.2 1x in 6%

3 This is good fixing, and is also good for delirium and sacrifice decks. 3.1 1x in 23%

3 These offer great fixing, as they will usually be untapped by the mid to late game. 2.2 1x in 49%
Top Rated Cards

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 3%

4.5 This has passable base stats, and getting delirium online is pretty doable in Green, so you're going to be generating tons of counters. 4.8 1x in 7%

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 8%

4.5 A 5-mana 5/5 with trample and haste is going to lots of damage in a hurry, and this one can even come back from the graveyard! 4.8 1x in 12%

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 12%

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 15%

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 1%

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 1%

5 Even without impending this is a bomb, so the fact that you can get the 4 damage even earlier when you need to is incredible. 5 1x in 1%

5 If you could only cast this for 7, it'd be a bomb. If you could only impend it, it'd be a bomb. Either way you get massive amounts of value out of it, and depending on the game you can do one or the other. It's going to be tough to beat. 4.9 1x in 1%

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 4%

5 Even without delirium this would be nuts as you get three bodies at a great rate, and once you have delirium it gets even sillier. Especially because you're likely to have more insects and spiders in Black/Green. 4.6 1x in 8%

5 If you pay 5 total mana you get two 4/4s with big upside. That's insane, and it only gets better from there. 4.9 1x in 10%

5 Tyvar is efficient and super hard to kill provided you have another creature around, and his activated ability turns most boards lethal. 4.8 1x in 10%
