![]() Monk Class (D+): I must admit, I overrated this in my initial set review, and I apologize to all readers who drafted this expecting it to be a bomb rare. Lair of the Hydra (C+) Long Rest (C−) Loyal Warhound (C) Of course, you might want to prioritize the Goblins just a little bit higher than normal when you have the Lord. Hobgoblin Bandit Lord (Build-Around C+): A lot of the best creatures in red are incidentally Goblins, so all you really have to do to make this pretty good is play red. Guardian of Faith (C−) Hive of the Eye Tyrant (C+) It's a very good one-drop, but I would not pick it over the best uncommons. The Book of Exalted Deeds (Build-Around C): The mana cost is restrictive, but if you have enough copies of Hill Giant Herdgorger or Inspiring Bard this can be a strong inclusion in your deck.Ĭircle of Dreams Druid (D−) Dragon Turtle (C) Fighter Class (C+)įorsworn Paladin (B−): This is the only card that gets a B− grade in this category, and it is because of its cheap cost and activated abilities. The best uncommons and commons simply are that close in Forgotten Realms, sometimes barely distinguishable in power level.įor reference, the best commons for each color are, in my opinion, the following: Yes, were making a big jump here-from rares that are better than any uncommons straight to rares that are worse than the strongest commons. The Tarrasque (Build-Around B−): The Tarrasque is, paradoxically, not that enticing in green but rather in a special kind of black-red deck! With enough Treasure generation, getting to nine mana is trivial, and if you use your Treasure sparingly, having three of them lying around is not that difficult. Ochre Jelly (B−) Old Gnawbone (B) Paladin Class (B−) Skeletal Swarming (B+) Or do-in combination with Price of Loyalty! Minsc, Beloved Ranger (B−): The activated ability of Minsc is sorcery speed only, so don't try to get your opponents with it on their turn! And don't activate it for X=0, as that will make your creature a 0/0 and subsequently kill it. ![]() If you have this in your deck, make sure to hold lands in hand to make it a good topdeck late. It is the strongest Equipment in the set in the sense that it goes into any deck, and coming down on turn three and giving your two-drop +4/+4 is going to end the game very quickly. Hand of Vecna (B): I've seen this go very late in a lot of drafts, and it really shouldn't. If you're entering a new dungeon, it's "gain 1 life," "scry 1," or "each player loses 1 life." If you're finishing one, it's "draw three cards and cast one for free," "draw a card," or "create a 4/4 with deathtouch." So her power partly depends on how deep into the dungeon theme you venture.įlameskull (B+) Froghemoth (B) Grazilaxx, Illithid Scholar (B−) Hall of Storm Giants (B−) ![]() It's splashable, and if you're just playing red-white anyway, it's one of the best carriers of Equipment in the whole set.Įllywick Tumblestrum (B): Ellywick is kind of funny in that her +1 is simultaneously one of the weakest and one of the strongest of all planeswalkers ever. Tier One: Best of the BestĪdult Gold Dragon (A−): While it does die to Dragon's Fire, this is very likely to connect at least once, and an 8 point life swing is huge. My grades here are mostly based on their respective potential as pick one in pack one. Some synergy-focused cards will vary in strength depending on the composition of your deck by up to a full grade. After all, you will hardly ever face the choice of taking one rare over another. I am ordering all cards alphabetically in their respective tiers, as nitpicking over an exact ranking of these cards is somewhat redundant. And Forgotten Realms has quite a number of them! Today I am going over which I believe to be absolutely busted, which I think are just okay, and which you likely never want to put into your deck. ![]() While commons are the backbone of all Limited play, what takes a deck from good to great is a bomb rare. ![]()
