Just the straight equipment can win limited games by ensuring your fatties gets through every turn. The fact it *also* provides bodies repeatedly, turns your land into 2/2 and, in a way gives you an extra draw for 5, which can be split into two mana installments if needs be... this is a limited all-star.
This doesn't have an equip cost and only cloaks cards from the top of your library. This card's main value in Limited is as an unblockable weenie machine.
I think #3 is the most obvious fake (at least to me). I actually suspect #9 is the other fake - I don't think they'll purely colorshift a Morph card into another Morph card in these decks.
One of Stoneforge Mystic's best friends in UW for when she really wants a grindfest. (Batterskull seems to be relegated to a grindfest role, while Kaldra Compleat has been promoted to the main option these days, being a significantly faster clock against combo.)
Lamplight Phoenix actually looks fairly good. Get enough instants and sorceries in the graveyard and that phoenix can recur itself twice or more in a row. (Tests of Kylox's Voltstrider in Modern RUG Crashing Footfalls Cascade have been going fairly well.)
If Altar's Reap wasn't obsolete now it should be at this point.
Altar's Reap and friends are great at saccing my blockers before they die to combat damage. They're also great at saccing creatures I just played this turn. Treacherous Greed can't do those.
All my ramp and colour fixing needs are taken care of for the rest of the game with just a fetchland in my graveyard. And this lets me effectively play two lands per turn! One of the best cards in the set.
There seems to be some character assassination on Teysa if the murderer's words are to be believed. The Teysa I know wouldn't cohort with Phyrexia
We may as well believe Etrata's later words that Teysa was, in fact, consorting with partially converted Phyrexians instead. That would explain the note in Phyrexian she was writing at the time she was killed.
Whoops, I misremembered - turns out that Oba is the dryad of life, not harmony (and yes, the other members of Trostani are sane enough to realize that Oba is destroying harmony big-time). Sounds like Oba was flushing out the Phyrexian corruption that damaged Mat'Selesnya and then went overboard (e.g. turned her wrath to anyone who thought the Phyrexian enemy might have had good designs they could appropriate Dominaria- or Oltec-style, e.g. Kylox). I'm still convinced Judith may have been the final straw permitting Oba to do the purges, but it increasingly looks like Aurelia won't attack Rakdos after all and that Rakdos will just want a vacation after waking up.
Possibly the most powerful card in the set. If the deck can support it, Modern Yawgmoth "Combo" can play pretty much its entire creature suite with this card. Multiples should let you play more than one matching creature from the top of your library per turn. And yes, Grist, the Hunger Tide is a matching creature.
"I fear a war between the guilds is exactly what our killer wants. Who could stand to benefit from such destruction?"
- Alquist Proft, case notes
I fear Judith isn't merely taking advantage of a swath of killings but is actually still the mastermind behind it all (i.e. Proft still missed who the instigator is despite claiming he's nailed down the culprit). She could have whispered into the ears of Proft's culprit to follow through with the (say) anti-corruption purges.
Oba of Trostani may have all the flowery methods to instigate all the murders, but I think she's missing the motive above. All these murders are not the way to preserve the harmony she (says she) stands for. What does Oba and Trostani have to gain from these murders, even if the Selesnya are never caught? People flocking to the Selesnya for protection? Don't people already do that? ...The removal of Phyrexian material from the slain?
It sounds like Proft will declare who's behind all the murders in tomorrow's episode.
Or will he? Proft hasn't seen the clue Agrus Kos saw that implies that Judith is behind the murders and has access to a strange moss (perhaps that's the origin of the moss-making sprouts?). In contrast, Proft encounters a hooded figure who doesn't know who's behind the killings but does rearrange Proft's mind during their meeting.
In Episode 7, the Golgari imply they're still fighting Phyrexians, and Izoni implies the suspicious powder isn't from Ravnica. It doesn't look like anything is Izoni's fault, either.

Barbed Servitor may as well be unlockable unless your opponent is willing to lose quite a lot of life to prevent you from drawing a card.
