Limited (ie the cards I'd most probably 1st pick if I opened it in the first pack) Commons: Elgaud Shieldmate - giving hexproof to another creature, and making sure both are safe from targeted removal makes this a good card
Pillar of Flame - a removal spell I won't hesitate to splash for
Uncommons: Goldnight Commander - I think it's pretty strong, and in a heavy weenie build, it can get out of hand rather quickly
Wolfir Avenger - heavy commitment to green kind of puts me on the fence for this one, but the power can't be denied
Constructed Commons: Dangerous Wager - pretty sure Frites would have a use for this, as well as an enabler for various UR builds
Mental Agony - this is a card I want to work. Sure, it's no Blightning, but the potency is there
Uncommons: Appetite for Brains - taking out just about any mid-game threat from the equation is extremely useful
Lightning Mauler - this creature begs to be built around, and I can see it in various Boros/RG Aggro/RDW builds already
EDH Commons: Mad Prophet - a card I'm pretty sure red has been begging for. Just another draw card, but something that can enable other shenanigans as well
Ghostly Flicker - in a format rife with ETB effects, Ghostly Flicker will most likely be a staple
Uncommons: Appetite for Brains - nullifies big, splashy cards. Nuff said Nephalia Smuggler - same reason as Ghostly Flicker above. too good an ability to pass up

Best by FAR: Eaten by Spiders
Runner up: Favourable Winds

Righteous Blow
Cloudshift
I'm a Spike Vorthos - I love lore and flavor, but only if the cards are competition worthy.
Uncommon
Wolfir Avenger
Probably a tie between the 2-3 decent sideboard cards (Eaten by Spiders, Human Frailty) or Favourable Winds
Common
Pillar of Flame
Cloudshift, Borderland Ranger, or Thatcher Revolt maybe, nothing else comes close to Pillar tho
There are a ton of insane commons for limited, Gryff Vanguard, Elguad Shieldmate, Seraph of Dawn, and Voice of the Provinces in particular
