Return to Ravnica Limited Review Part 8: Hybrids

Welcome to part 8 of this review, in this edition it's the commons and uncommons of the hybrid mana cost cards in this set, so let's review how this is broken down for those who don't know.


A - Very Good, draft this at all times in this color.
B - Easily playable, focuses heavily on the color in question
C - Middle of the Road, splashable and semi playable.
D - Sideboard Material, for tough matchups only.
F - Never play this, ever

Let's begin straight away then with this particular section of the review.

#211) Blistercoil Weird - B, For 1 mana you get a decent effect to be honest for limited, +1/+1 and you get to untap it when you play a instant or sorcery, sweet thing right here folks, i'd probably have to look at this card a bit more closely for the format.

#214) Dryad Militant - A, Seriously whoever let this slip by in R&D deserves to be shot when it comes to limited, i mean it's already stupid enough a 2/1 body for 1, but stopping all graveyard decks in their tracks is just enough.

#215) Frostburn Weird - C, I mean a 1/4 body that can even reduce it's toughness and make it stronger for offense is always nice, give this first strike and it'd probably be broken.

#216) Golgari Longlegs - C, This is pretty good already, a 5/4 vanilla body for 5 is decent, a solid defender/beat stick.

#218) Judge's Familiar - A, Another one of the cards that should have never been printed, this 1 drop 1/1 flyer is stupid enough, but to be a mini Cursecatcher, seriously

#220) Rakdos Cackler - A, Unleash on this equals a broken card, as was put by someone i know at the prerelease this + the lone equip from this set is bad news bears.

#221) Rakdos Shred-Freak -A, Another reason perhaps why that this set is so really broken for limited, a 2 drop 2/1 with haste is just insane this followed up by cackler is almost unstoppable.

#222) Slitherhead - A, Another perfect example why limited is going to be super fun for the format, a 1 drop 1/1 with a scavenge cost of 0, yes, 0, perfect way to balance this card, not.

#223) Sundering Growth - B, Best enchantment/artifact removal for the color in the format, bar none and you get to populate as well, amazing job at breaking this card wizards.

#224) Vassal Soul - B, Why is everything in this color not sucking, seriously a 3 drop 2/2 flyer for this set is stupid good personally, I'm hoping this limited makes this guy fun to play.

And with that, all the hybrid cards are done, stay tuned on wednesday for the finale of the review in commons/uncommons with artifacts and lands.
