Creatures

2.5 When one mana filtering is attached to a creature, it has performed pretty well, and this even comes with the addition of graveyard hate, something that certainly matters in the format. 2.8 1x in 22%

2 This will be easy to cast sometimes, but a 2/15 honestly isn't that impressive, and the ability is only useful when you've got good attacks. Keep in mind that's you have to draw too, it isn't a may trigger. 4 1x in 22%

2.5 So, if you’ve got some spare stuff in your graveyard, this can turn it into cards, and it gives you a repeatable way to collect evidence, something that seems particularly useful for payoffs that give you something when cards leave your graveyard. Still, I do wish this was both an enabler and a payoff for collecting evidence. As is, it doesn’t feel strong enough to pull me into the color pair. 3.5 1x in 22%

2.5 This ability is reasonably powerful once you get there, but in the meantime you’ve got a one mana 0/3, something that just isn’t relevant on most boards. It’s also a little annoying the ability is as expensive as it is, and you can still only have one animated land at a time. You have to jump through some very real hoops and play an otherwise sub-par creature. 2.9 1x in 33%

2.5 5 mana for three 1/1s isn't great, but you can attack with all three tokens the next turn and really give your opponent a headache. At that point, you are definitely getting your mana's worth. 3.2 1x in 33%

3 It’ll be at least a 5/5 in most cases, and other times it will be absolutely massive! The whole Disguise thing is a big deal too, when the creature has the potential of being this big. 2.8 1x in 33%

2.5 This fixes your mana well and sets up Collect Evidence 6 in the early game, and in the late game it's a passable creature. 3 2x in 33%

2.5 Here’s this format big ol’ green creature that gains you life, which can help you stabilize from behind. If the Weaver is alone, it’s a 7-mana 6/6 with Reach that gains you 6 life – that’s not amazing, but it’s passable – and because you can distribute the counters in any number of ways, it’s often going to be better than that. This is because you’ll be able to put it on creatures who can already attack and/or gain even more life than 6. Still, this is a 7-drop, something that gives me a little pause in today’s limited formats. I do think it’s the right kind of 7-drop because it gives you value on board almost no matter what and gains you life. 3.6 1x in 44%

3 A two mana 2/2 isn’t what it used to be, but that’s the fail case here, and this has the upside of fixing your mana. Note, by the way, that it can grab this format’s dual lands, should you pick one up. 3.8 1x in 44%

2 This kind of effect doesn’t always play well. There just aren’t always situations where it matters. Still, when it does matter, it feels a bit like situational removal, and it’s stapled to a creature with okayish stats, not to mention Disguise upside. 2.9 1x in 44%

4 Nothing super fancy here, just a super efficient creature that your opponent won’t always be able to target with stuff, especially in the early game. 4.5 1x in 44%

2.5 This isn’t going to feel amazing either way you get the 6/7 with Reach, but the fact that it IS a huge creature with the upside of being castable as a three mana 2/2 Ward 2 makes it worthwhile. 2.3 1x in 56%

2.5 A 5-mana 5/5 is pretty beefy, and this one has some Disenchant upside. Feels like most Green decks will want one of these. 2.5 1x in 56%

3.5 These days, they give us lots of Common one drops that do a whole bunch of little things, and almost all of them have been impressive in Limited – I think this is another one of those. A one mana 1/1 with Surveil 2 is probably playable to begin with, especially if you’re a graveyard deck. Add to that the ability to put a counter on something, and this card just feels like it will do a ton of work. 2.4 1x in 67%
Instant, Sorcery

0.0 // 3.0 You need at least three of these before they are worth playing, and 4 is better. 1.2 1x in 11%

3.5 If you aren't collecting evidence, this is pretty darn clunky. And clunky is dangerous on a removal spell like this, since your opponent interacting can 2-for-1 you. Still, if you choose your spot carefully, this is likely to kill most opposing stuff, and the stats boost might also really improve your attacks. Combine that with the Evidence upside and I think this manages to just sneak into “premium removal” range. 3.7 1x in 11%

1.5 At worst this is three mana for a 0/1 that draws you a card. That’s not good, but as a fail case it could be worse. This set does have a bunch of different creature tokens, but it still feels like drawing two with this is pretty medium, and expecting more than that is an unreasonable expectation. You can set it up sometimes, sure, but not often enough. 1.8 1x in 11%

3 Individually, each side of this is a little too situational to be particularly good on its own, but when you have two modes on one card, it’s different. The Hustle side is narrow, but the times when it lines up right, it will feel like removal. Bustle is also situational, but it’s also a game ender, as Overrun effects often are. Chances are pretty good you’ll get sufficient value out of one side of this card to make it worth playing. 2.1 1x in 11%

3.5 As with most X damage spells, this is never going to feel especially efficient, but it does scale as the game goes on, and being able to go after your opponent makes it an effective finisher. Additionally, there may be times where you have milled a couple of lands and you just use this to kill an X/2 and ramp your mana, and that’ll feel pretty good too. 3.4 1x in 11%

3 because leaving up mana and hoping your opponent plays into it can be a really serious problem. You have to be careful about using them. 3.3 1x in 22%

2.5 So, this is a new take on Traverse the Ulvenwald, which isn't as good in Limited as it is in constructed. Still, it provides good fixing early and in the late game it can tutor up your best creature. 3.8 1x in 22%

4 4-mana for two 2/2s is a pretty nice deal, especially because it’s likely you grabbed a couple of cards that won’t be 2/2s for long. 4.6 1x in 22%

3 This trick gives +1/+1 as a floor, and it can give a way bigger boost than that. We've seen this card before without the Reach, and it's always a good trick. 2.5 1x in 22%

3 We’ve seen Run Amok in the past, and it has a strictly worse text box because it can only target attacking creatures, and Run Amok was an absolute beating in aggro decks. I think this will be too. The stats boost + trample can just wreck combat in so many ways, and make damage lethal out of nowhere. The boost is enough to save a creature from some removal spells in a pinch too. You’re going to want to keep this card in the back of your mind any time you’re playing someone who is in Green. 2.5 1x in 33%

3.5 They have really been pushing these punch effects lately. There once was a time where one mana for a straight up fight effect was a nice Limited card, but now we get a one-sided fight for the same cost! Obviously, it’s pretty darn good. You do need to have a sizable enough creature around to make it do its thing the best, and you have to pick your spots because removal is an utter blowout, but we’re still talking about a one mana removal spell…this’ll feel like a Green Swords to Plowshares pretty often. 3.9 1x in 33%

2 I like that this can ultimately give you a 2-for-1. I don’t like that it’s a Sorcery that doesn’t add to the board in any meaningful way. It definitely fixes your mana, and in games that go long enough that Clue is gonna feel pretty nice, but not doing anything to add to the board on turn three has been a liability in most formats of late. I kind of hope this is a format where you can do stuff like this, but I’m going to err on the side of caution. 2.2 1x in 33%

2.5 The +1/+1 counter + Fight mode is the one most likely to be the most useful and most efficient, but tutoring up lands and creature or taking out enchantments or artifacts is sometimes nice. If this cost 2 generic and a Green to cast, it would be a premium-level removal spell with big upside – I’d probably give it a 4.0. But you can’t really overlook that casting cost. Getting three mana of one color is pretty hard in Limited, and isn’t even guaranteed by turn 6 in most decks. If youre deck has like 12 green sources in it, casting this becomes easier, but the upside also isn’t so great that it’s worth distorting your deck that way for the Charm alone. 3.7 1x in 33%

0.5 Even at one mana and with all these modes, this still feels like it won't do enough far too often. I think it's a sideboard card. 1.6 1x in 44%
Enchantment, Artifact

0 This is effectively a blank card if your graveyard doesn’t have what you need, so the fact that you can play this mana rock on turn two doesn’t really matter, because it will rarely be able to produce mana on turn two. It’s exciting to imagine getting those five counters on it and cracking it to draw three, but that’s going to take quite a lot of time if you even do it at all. This won’t do enough 99% of the time. 2.1 1x in 0%

2.5 A 4-mana 3/3 that makes a Clue is fine, and this will be a 4/4 Vigilance from time to time. 3.8 1x in 11%

0.0 // 3.0 You’re likely to have a few tokens around sometimes in Black-Green, but you’re really going to need to be able to get the Plant stuff going on Insidious Roots for it to be worthwhile. The good news is, Black-Green has a critical mass of “Collect Evidence” cards which will trigger Insidious Roots, but this still kind of asks a lot of you. You need a stocked graveyard, you need the things in your graveyard to be creatures, and you need to collect evidence. I think that’s doable, but still hard enough that this probably needs a build around grade. 2.6 1x in 11%

2.5 Three mana Blue Auras that tap a creature down usually aren’t anything special. The problem is that they don’t entirely remove the creature in all situations, so abilities are still relevant, and if your opponent has a way to sacrifice or otherwise utilize the tapped down creature you end up feeling like you’re really far behind. The Accusation’s activated ability adds an interesting wrinkle to this, since now you can get rid of the creature if it has problematic abilities and everything. The downside is your opponent might draw it again later. 2.2 1x in 11%

1 This is a bad mana rock that is way too slow at making Clues. 1.1 1x in 11%

0.0 / 3.5 The idea here is to play cards with Collect Evidence alongside this, and if you have enough of that going on – and enough creatures in your deck – this has the potential to be a fairly absurd engine, since it effectively gives you 2 cards every time you Collect Evidence. The problem is that this does absolutely nothing up front. Still, the upside is kind of insane, and I think accessible enough in some decks for this to get a buildaround grade. 2.6 1x in 22%

1.5 I think this is the worst card in this cycle. The buffs it offers are underwhelming, especially when you’re paying 3 to equip. 1.3 1x in 33%

2 When you can use this correctly, it can be an absolute beating. It can work as a decent trick that leaves the buff behind, and it can blank removal. Turning off Suspect will usually be more upside than downside, too. Still, it's tricky to leave up this much mana. 1.8 1x in 33%

3 What this gives you up front is fairly acceptable, and Green decks will certainly be capable of solving this. Once you do, buffing an attacking creature every turn is going to feel pretty good. Still, it doesn’t do a ton up front. 3.3 1x in 33%

4 Its an Oblivion Ring stapled to a mana ramp Aura. 'Nuff said. 4.2 1x in 44%

3 This is Evolving Wilds with upside, and that upside can allow you send in an unblockable Disguise creature. 3.7 1x in 11%

2.5 If you just need the mana right away, you can play it, but this has two other really nice functions. First, it's flood insurance. The last thing you want to do in the late game is draw a land - but thud one can be a creature when that's the case. And in the mid-game, when you might need the fixing, you can turn it face up. Remember you can do weird stuff like assign this to block and turn it face up, at which point you get the mana and the creature it blocked is still considered blocked, but you don't lose the land. 1.9 1x in 22%

Combine that with the Evidence upside and I think this manages to just sneak into “premium removal” range. 3.7 1x in 11%

3.5 A two mana 1/1 with flying and lifelink is already pretty nice, and a great creature to enhance, and this will often enhance itself in a format with this many detectives. 4.6 1x in 11%

3.5 A 4-mana 4/4 with Vigilance is a great starting point, and this has upside that is very useful in this format. Red-Green especially has an interest in big ol’ Disguise creatures too. That Vigilance of course means it can swing and then tap for mana in the same turn, which is a nice combination. 2.7 1x in 11%

3.5 They have really been pushing these punch effects lately.

Add to that the ability to put a counter on something, and this card just feels like it will do a ton of work. 2.4 1x in 67%

4 4-mana for a 4/4 is still a decent stat-line, and then this has huge Diguise upside. Sure, you can’t access it until the late game, but having instant speed Overrun in the late game is going to be an absolute beating. Now, don’t expect to reach that stage of the game every time you play the Orator, but because the card has a solid fail-case and insane upside. 3.7 1x in 11%

4 A two mana 1/1 that can tap for green is already a C-level card, and this has legitimate potential to grow throughout the game, which means it can stay more relevant than most mana dorks. Of course, if you draw it late it isn’t the most impressive thing ever, but playing this on turn two and playing a couple of Disguise creatures seems like a super common play pattern. This Common looks quite good. 4 1x in 11%

4 A three mana 2/2 with Flying and Vigilance that has you draw 2 and discard 2 is pretty great, so it’s nice that sometimes you can choose to only discard one. 4.7 1x in 11%

4 4-mana for two 2/2s is a pretty nice deal, especially because it’s likely you grabbed a couple of cards that won’t be 2/2s for long. 4.6 1x in 22%

4 This starts with passable stats and can grow throughout the game while drawing you cards. The only downside is that if you get it late it's pretty mediocre, but that’s the fail case. 4.7 1x in 22%

4 Its an Oblivion Ring stapled to a mana ramp Aura. 'Nuff said. 4.2 1x in 44%

4 Nothing super fancy here, just a super efficient creature that your opponent won’t always be able to target with stuff, especially in the early game. 4.5 1x in 44%

5 5 mana for a 3/2 lifelink and a 5/5 trampler is an incredible rate. Tolsimir's ability to make stuff block the wolf can be pretty nasty too, but this card gets most of its value from giving you two very real bodies for a very low cost. 4.6 1x in 11%
