Creatures

2.5 4-mana 3/2s can be abyssmal, since there is one mana removal that can deal with it, but this leaves a body behind to make up for that. 1.9 1x in 30%

3.5 This is great on turn two, and it's often going to be unblockable in the late game. 2.9 1x in 30%

2 These "Master Decoy"-type creatures have been a lot worse as of late, and I don't really see that changing here. This does have passable stats and an ability that is good sometimes, though. 2.4 1x in 30%

2 Red doesn't have much of a discard theme in this set. So, this is mostly just a card with a mediocre statline and a mediocre ETB. 1.7 1x in 30%

2.5 This has passable stats, and because it can gain first strike, it has the potential to be relevant all game long. 3.1 1x in 40%

3 It's a 5-drop so you don't want a bunch of them, but 5-mana for 4/5 worth of stats, 3/4 of which has Flying, is a really good deal. You probably don't want more than one of these, though. 2.1 1x in 40%

3.5 I'd be happy just getting a 2/4 and a 1/1 for this cost, but doubling abilities -- including the mercenary token tap abilty, can really alter combat. 4.1 1x in 40%

2.5 This is a huge payoff for Saddling, as the counters and life are sure to alter a race in your favor. 3.7 1x in 40%

4 This is a great two drop that can do a ton of damage if it comes down on turn two -- especially if you played a one drop. But it also has nice late game upside that allows it to always stay relevant. 4 1x in 40%

3 This is a great ETB trigger. Plot allows you to take full advantage, but even without Plot this can help you hit a land drop in the early stages of the game, and if you draw it late you can just cast it right away because you'll be able to use the card either way. 2.6 1x in 50%

2.5 This is more efficient than most creatures with this ability that we've seen. A 3-mana 3/3 really won't feel terrible, like the two-mana 1/1s and 4-mana 3/3s we usually see. 2 1x in 50%

3.5 This gives you two bodies for a reasonable cost, and it's abilty to become indestructible is a real problem for your opponent. Blocking this is kind of a nightmare. 3.8 1x in 60%

3.5 This delivers a ton of value for the cost, and the fact it has Flash is extra good in UW. 2.8 1x in 60%

2.5 This has solid stats that are good for augmenting, and it's good sacrifie fodder. 2.4 1x in 70%
Instant, Sorcery

3.5 The rate here is really good of course, but it's also not a removal spell you can use early, as the value you get is seriously diminished when you ramp and fix your opponent's mana. -0 1x in 10%

3 This is a really nice Disenchant that comes with big upside, between being able to take down two permanents once and buffing your whole board. 2.8 1x in 10%

2.5 A mass board pump that draws you a card tends to play pretty well, and Red is quite good at going wide in this format. 1 1x in 10%

2//3.5 Being able to cast this at instant speed will feel insane sometimes, because if the stats line up right, you can make two of your opponents creatures destroy one another. That gives this a higher floor than most versions of this kind of effect, while it still has big sacrifice upside. 1.3 1x in 10%

3 This is situational of course, but if you can cast it with both Spree effects, it's kind of insane. If you can copy an opposing removal spell and then change the target of another, you get a 3-for-1. 1.2 1x in 10%

3 This was a very strong trick last time, and it will be this time too. It helps a creature win combat, can blank more removal, and leaves behind a permanent buff. 3.1 1x in 20%

2.5 This is pretty nice in all-out aggressive Red-White decks, but too situational for anything else. 2.9 1x in 20%

4 X damage spells never really feel efficient, but they scale as the game goes on, which allows them to remain relevant. The treasure you get here helps make up for the inefficiency, too. 4.4 1x in 20%

4 This is a great removal spell. Even if it was always just the first mode, it would be a card that always makes the cut -- and one you take highly. But the added Spree upside means that you can achieve a 2-for-1 sometimes. 3.5 1x in 30%

3 This is nice removal, with some added utility, and if your creature has the highest power, you can blink it to make sure you can still kill your opponent's creature. 3.9 1x in 30%

2 Because you can sacrifice lands to this, it's much better in the late game than most Tormenting Voice-like effects. 0.9 1x in 30%

2.5 This is efficient, but having to take a hit before you can use it isn't ideal. The life gain makes up for that a little. 2.8 1x in 30%

3 This isn't very good early, but in the late game it can stabilize you out of nowhere or make so many tokens that you can overwhelm your opponent. 2.9 1x in 40%

2.5 This is solid removal, but not much more. 3.9 1x in 40%
Enchantment, Artifact

3.5 This is really good even without the Flash upside. With it, it has blow-out potential and some synergy in the UW color pair. 3.9 1x in 0%

0.0 // 2.5 You have to have access to the activated ability, or this symmetrical effect just isn't worth it. 2.7 1x in 0%

2 The rate isn't very good, but I think the upside of ramping your mana sometimes makes it playable. 2.9 1x in 10%

2 You can equip this right away if you want to, thanks to the treasure. Paying one to Equip for this boost is kind of passable, too. 1.7 1x in 10%

5 The creature this equips to is immune to most removal, gets significantly larger, and can generate some serious value when you hit your opponent. You won't always be able to do much with the treasure, but doubling a spell doesn't sound too challenging. 4.8 1x in 10%

1 These Enchantments that just buff your creature during your turn pretty much never work out. They do nothing on their own, and the buff it offers just isn't enough. I kind of wish they had made this so it could target any creature, because then you could commit crimes with it at least. 1.5 1x in 10%

4 It's a little slow, but if you get to activate it, it's pretty hard for you to lose. You send all of your opponent's creature in for some terrible attacks, point their own removal at their creatures, and so on. -0 1x in 10%

1 This buff looks tempting, but if it's anything like other cheap haste-granting Equipment, it isn't going to be worth a card. 1.8 1x in 10%

2 This is super easy to crew and pretty big, and sometimes the treasure will be nice, but I have a feeling this'll only really be worth in the Mount/Vehicle decks. 2.3 1x in 10%

4 This is great Removal that also gives you a relevant body, hard not to be excited about that. 4.4 1x in 20%

2.5 This Aura seems pretty pushed. It offers a stats-boost that makes just about any creature into a legit threat, it replaces itself, and it's really efficient. 3.1 1x in 20%

4 Exiling a creature for two mana is pretty insane, even if your opponent can potentially get it back later. 4.1 1x in 30%

4.5 You have to wait a turn for it to get going, but once you get there it starts adding some very real bodies to the board, and it can quickly snowball. -0 1x in 70%

2.5 If you haven't had the pleasure of playing with bounce lands before -- trust me, this is better than it looks. It essentially provides card advantage as you end up with two lands that produce three mana. 2.5 1x in 10%

2.5 This is very nice fixing. 2.5 1x in 20%

1 This weak ability isn't worth the hit to your mana base. 3.1 1x in 20%

2.5 This is very nice fixing. 3.3 1x in 30%

3 They provide awesome fixing, give you extra value in the form of a ping, commit crimes, and there's even deserts-matter cards in the set. These might just be better than the rare cycle in the format. 2.6 1x in 30%

4 If you can get even one Dinosaur out of this you're coming out way ahead, and this has the potential to be repeatable. 3.5 1x in 10%

4 This is great Removal that also gives you a relevant body, hard not to be excited about that. 4.4 1x in 20%

4 X damage spells never really feel efficient, but they scale as the game goes on, which allows them to remain relevant. The treasure you get here helps make up for the inefficiency, too. 4.4 1x in 20%

4 This will be pretty efficient without even trying. If you play it on 4 it's likely to be a 3/3 with flying and trample, and it'll only go from there. 4.3 1x in 20%

4 Exiling a creature for two mana is pretty insane, even if your opponent can potentially get it back later. 4.1 1x in 30%

4 This is a great removal spell. Even if it was always just the first mode, it would be a card that always makes the cut -- and one you take highly. But the added Spree upside means that you can achieve a 2-for-1 sometimes. 3.5 1x in 30%

4 This is a great two drop that can do a ton of damage if it comes down on turn two -- especially if you played a one drop. But it also has nice late game upside that allows it to always stay relevant. 4 1x in 40%

4.5 4-mana for a 2/4 and two 1/1s is already a 4.0, and the added upside of Haste to your outlaws is enough to push this well into bomb range. 4.6 1x in 10%

4.5 This comes down and adds a ton of Haste damage to the board in many situations. The fail-case isn't awesome, but I don't think you'll end up with this just feeling like a 6-mana 4/6 with Haste all that often. 4.4 1x in 10%

4.5 You have to wait a turn for it to get going, but once you get there it starts adding some very real bodies to the board, and it can quickly snowball. -0 1x in 70%

5 The creature this equips to is immune to most removal, gets significantly larger, and can generate some serious value when you hit your opponent. You won't always be able to do much with the treasure, but doubling a spell doesn't sound too challenging. 4.8 1x in 10%

5 This has amazing stats, does 3 damage to your opponent no matter what, and if you untap and play a creature the game's pretty much over. 5 1x in 10%

5 This trigger is incredibly strong and easier than normal to get right away thanks to plot. 4.6 1x in 10%

5 Jasper can draw you tons and tons of cards, and his ability snowballs since you're likely to steal opposing creatures with his trigger. 5 1x in 20%
