Action News Crew

This has a passable body to run out on turn two, and it has the upside of also being a very good late game draw.

Agent Bishop, Man in Black

He needs a little time to get going, but he can quickly build an insane advantage. Because it's a combat trigger, you're likely to get at least those first two counters the turn he comes down, and things get crazy from there.

April O'Neil, Kunoichi Trainee

She has passable stats and a useful creature type. Her enters trigger and evasion make her work nicely with Sneak.

Dimensional Exile

This is a super efficient way to deal with pretty much any creature.

East Wind Avatar

The baseline is pretty mediocre, and while sometimes it'll turn into Serra Angel, you also have to account for the times where it's just a 2/4.

Featherbrained Filcher

This isn't remotely worth it unless you're going reall hard on Sneak, in which case it becomes a very good enabler that generates extra value.

Grounded for Life

This will often just cost two, and the fail-case of being 5-mana removal isn't terrible. It does get worse in more aggressive decks, though.

Hamato Guardian Stance

This is an okay combat trick that can be used somewhat reliably to win combat and stop damage-based removal, but it won't do it often enough to be anything special.

High-Flying Ace

The baseline is okay, but the ability is really expensive. Still, can break up late game board stalls.

Jennika, Bad Apple Big Sister

Casting this is actually a pretty nice rate -- you get a 3/3 and a 2/2 for 5 -- and the Plainscycling upside is a nice thing to have.

Koya, Death from Above

The stats aren't great, but this has a nice "enters" trigger that can almost always be somewhat useful since it can go after any other target creature. You can get the trigger a lot with Sneak, and in the late game it turns into straight up removal.

The Last Ronin's Technique

This'll feel fine when you cast it for 4, and if you can Sneak this into play while getting some kind of value by having that creature leave or enter again, it'll feel pretty nice.

Leader's Talent

Just the first level on this would be a playable card, as getting a token every turn is no joke. While Level 2 is kind of underwhelming, level 3 makes each of your spells absurd. If this can't win you the game early, it'll probably win you the game late.

Leonardo, Big Brother

Hard casting this is far from ideal, but paying the Sneak cost is pretty sweet. It's cheap enough that it will be easy to recast whatever you bring back to your hand, while Leonardo probably slams in for a pretty good hit.

Leonardo, Cutting Edge

There's not really enough life gain in this set -- especially in White -- for him to really go off, even with Lifelink.

Leonardo, Leader in Blue

This is a nice one drop, and in the late game it turns into a great mass buff spell.

Leonardo, Sewer Samurai

The baseline is fine, and the ability to cast stuff from your graveyard is great -- although he's restricted enough on what he can get back that you won't always be able to do it.

Leonardo's Technique

The White reanimation spell that gets a couple of small things back is rarely very good in Limited -- and at 4 mana this would be pretty close to a 0.0. Sneak does make it more likely you can get your mana's worth, though.

Lita, Little Orphan Amphibian

If you run her out on turn two and just curve out from there, she's going to take over the game, and if you get her later she still has abilities that can help you find a way to win the game.

Make Your Move

This set has enough targets for this that it's maindeck material, but there will be some opponents who don't have enough targets.

Mighty Mutanimals

This is 4-mana for a 2/1, a 2/2, and a +1/+1 counter. That card would already be a 4.0, but because it's alliance can trigger even more, this is a legitimate bomb at Uncommon.

Prehistoric Pet

This will often be tough to block, and it's ability to bounce stuff to your hand can be useful sometimes. It's a good enabler for Sneak.

Quintessential Katana

The baseline on this is kind of alright, but what really makes it shine is the free equips you get when you Sneak a Ninja in.

Sally Pride, Lioness Leader

This is 5-mana for a 2/4 and a 2/2 that become a 3/5 and a 3/3 on the next turn -- and that's the baseline. You're going to get 2+ tokens with this way more often. She basically always doubles your board when she enters, and then buffs them all next turn which is ridiculous combination.

Triceraton Commander

If you pay 1 for X, you pay 4 mana for a 2/2 flyer and a 2/2, and on the next turn they can both swing in the air for 6, and thi scales as the game goes on. There are other dinosaurs in the set, too!

Turncoat Kunoichi

Even without Sneak this would be an excellent Banisher Priest variant. With it, she gains the ability to always remove things permanently, and if you can Sneak her back to your hand, things get even sillier.

Turtles Forever

This is 4 mana for something that doesn't impact the board, and even in this format it'll be tough grabbing 4 worthwhile legendaries to make up for that.

Uneasy Alliance

This has a Pacifism baseline, and in the late game it turns into a removal spell that adds to the board.

April O'Neil, Hacktivist

The turn you cast her, you'll draw at least one card at your end step, and the more you draw with her the more likely you are to have more spells that will draw you more cards. She gets particularly good with cards with two types -- like Artifact creatures.

April, Reporter of the Weird

That Gray Ogre baseline is really terrible. The idea here is to put counters on her with Mutagen tokens, and then she can really threaten to draw you a lot of cards, but most of the time she just won't be able to attack or block effectively.

Bespoke Bō

The actual equipment isn't very efficient, but adding a bounce enters trigger makes up for that in a massive way.

Buzz Bots

It's nice that this replaces itself, but the 1/1 body won't always be worth a card so that's not as exciting as it sounds. Still, the artifact typing probably helps this overperform.

Crustacean Commando

Mutagen tokens are just good -- they provide nice value in a vacuum and then they also help with artifact synergies, dissappear, and counter payoffs -- all of which matter in this format. So even a two mana 0/3 that makes one is a quality card.

Does Machines

If you've gone really hard on artifacts this can be pretty insane -- and it's not that hard to do in the format. The first mode is a nice way to draw cards and load the graveyard, level 2 gives you back two cards, and level 3 is going to buff something and/or animate something every turn.

Donatello, Gadget Master

Most blue decks have enougha artifacts that he'll have stuff to combo -- even if it's just food or mutagen tokens.

Donatello, Mutant Mechanic

This has solid stats, and you'll have enough stuff to buff and/or animate for that activated ability to be pretty good.

Donatello, Turtle Techie

It almost doesn't matter which blue deck you're in, you're likely to draw a card when he enters.

Donatello, Way with Machines

This has some serious potential and can take over games in the right situation, but it also has a really inefficient and vulnerable starting point.

Donatello's Technique

Divination is a passable baseline, and sometimes this'll be two-thirds of Ancestral Recall.

Fugitive Droid

This is a nice creature to run out early, and in lots of Blue decks it'll frequently be unblockable, helping it stay relevant all game long -- which it can also do thanks to its ability to protect your stuff.

Kitsune, Dragon's Daughter

Most of the time, you'll be able to use this trigger to make an awesome exchange, and the fact you make that exchange makes it far more likely she can attack on the next turn, at which point things will get even better for you.

Kitsune's Technique

There's not really a legitimate mill strategy in the format, so this mostly does nothing.

Krang, Master Mind

If you're really heavy into artifacts -- like in Blue/Red -- this will feel like an absolute bomb since you'll get a big body and a bunch of cards. But even if your deck is just sort of into artifacts, it can perform reasonably well.

Metalhead

Even without the activated ability this would be excellent, and with it it can often contribute 5 damage to an attack immediately, while threatening to do way, way more.

Mind Transfer Protocol

When this works it generates a pretty sweet 2-for-1, and this set has enough artifacts to animate that it'll work reasonably well.

Mondo Gecko

Getting in with this won't be that easy since it's just a 2/3. It can protect itself to be sure, but it's not like it has the most meaningful board presence in the first place.

Negate

This is almost passable in your main deck, as it usually is, but it's better in your sideboard.

Ooze Spill

Getting Cancel + a Mutagen token is a solid deal for the cost.

Ray Fillet, Man Ray

Even without it's activated ability you'd always play this card, and with it, you can get even more value out of +1/+1 counters.

Renet, Temporal Apprentice

This has a really high ceiling, but there are also tons of turns where it either bounces nothing or not enough stuff to make it worthwhile.

Retro-Mutation

Even with Flash, this is a little bit too expensive for a card that doesn't remove a creature entirely -- especially in a set with lots of +1/+1 counters.

Return to the Sewers

We see this kind of card be one of Blue's best Commons in most sets, and getting a Mutagen token stapled to it is quite the upgrade.

Sewer-veillance Cam

This is often underwhelming when you first cast it, but if you artifact synergies -- including ways to bounce this to your hand or sacrifice it -- it gets a lot better.

Stockman, Mad Fly-entist

This is a solid body and a good enters trigger for the cost, so it's great you can cash it in for a land early.

Turtles in Time

This obviously has a very powerful effect, but it's one that's really only going to be good when you're behind, and even then it may not fix anything since it's just a reset button. Like, there's a good chance your opponent still has more mana and life than you do.

Utrom Scientists

It's hard for any artifact creature that has an okay baseline to be bad in this set.

Anchovy & Banana Pizza

It's not quite Bake into a Pie, but it's in the neighborhood. Being able to remove something and then sacrifice this to set up disappear is really great.

Armaggon, Future Shark

This is definitely expensive, but it's an 8-mana play that'll typically just win you the game by generating at least a 4-for-1. Still, being 8 mana is a pretty big hurdle and keeps it from being completely absurd, as it'll get stuck in your hand sometimes.

Bebop, Warthog Warrior

I don't love the baseline here. Once you're spending 5 you kind of need an enters trigger or more efficient stats than this.

The Cloning of Shredder

This is 6 mana to get 3 copies of the best creature in your graveyard, and that's almost always going to be worth way more than 6 mana.

Death in the Family

This is nice, efficient, instant-speed removal.

Dream Beavers

Even in a set without Sneak, this would be a quality one drop because it's enters trigger does such nice little things and a one mana 1/1 flyer is passable. With Sneak all over the place, it gets way better.

Foot Mystic

The baseline here isn't very good, and you won't be able to get that 1/1 token often enough to completely offset that.

Insectoid Exterminator

It's been awhile since we've had a worthwhile 3-mana 2/2 flyer without a meaningful enters trigger.

Lord Dregg, Insect Invader

A 4-mana 3/2 flyer is not usually where you want to be, but as long as you get one 1/1 flyer out of this it'll be well worth it, and it has value engine potential.

Madame Null, Power Broker

She can trade for anything if nothing else, and her ability to buff creatures and draw cards is great -- until it isn't.

Ninja Teen

This does work well with Sneak, since your creatures will leave the battlefield and Menace makes it easier to get in with them. That last chapter letting you sneak out of the graveyard is pretty sweet too. But it does start pretty slow and asks for a board presence to really do anything.

Oroku Saki, Shredder Rising

If you can draw a card with this you're going to be in business, and Sneak makes that pretty easy.

Pain 101

These effects shine when they only cost one mana since they're so easy to leave mana up for. Paying twice the mana makes it harder to have the mana at the right time -- it does get sweet with "enters" and "leaves" triggers, though.

Paramecia Coloniex

In a set with a more meaningful graveyard theme this would be really good, but this set doesn't have much of one, so it's mostly just a two mana 2/2 that gives you some okay card selection.

Rat King, Verminister

This is a really good Disappear trigger, but the baseline is really bad and Disappear is far from automatic.

Savanti Romero, Time's Exile

Because this is a combat trigger, he's basically a 5-mana 5/5 trampler that draws you a card and loses you a life. That's excellent, and it can kind of snowball from there. You only lose life equal to counters too, so you can stay out of danger long enough to use those cards to win.

Shark Shredder, Killer Clone

Even without Sneak this card would be really scary since it's difficult to attack or block into and it's combat damage trigger is absurd. With sneak, you can get that trigger even more reliably.

Shredder, Unrelenting

Neither mode on this is all that exciting on a 5-mana 6/4. It's just too inefficient, and death touch is too situational.

Shredder's Armor

The idea here is for this to be a Disappear enabler, but the card itself is so underwhelming that even in a deck with lots of Disappear, you're only going to run it if you didn't get other cards that are much better on their own -- y'know, like any card that makes a food token.

Shredder's Revenge

These two modes are each like...1.5-level cards most of the time. I think giving you an option upgrades it a little, but it probably still doesn't always make the cut.

Shredder's Technique

Casting this for 3 would be a good card, and getting to cast it for one black while presumably also getting some value by bouncing something to your hand is absurd.

South Wind Avatar

This is a solid body that will end up gaining you some life while pressuring your opponent.

Splinter, Hamato Yoshi

This is pretty cheap for a Ninja lord, especially when you Ninjutsu -- and his Menace makes him good at enabling Sneak.

Splinter's Technique

In your typical Limited format, even Demonic Tutor is kind of mediocre, and this is only Demonic Tutor when you can Sneak it. It's horrendous when you can't. Basically, ask yourself whether the best card in your deck is still good when you pay 2 or 4 more mana extra to cast it.

Squirrelanoids

One mana 1/1s with death touch can trade for anything and stay relevant all game long, while never being gamebreaking.

Stomped by the Foot

The baseline here is passable, and Black will have plenty of things to sacrifice to kick this -- while also perhaps enabling Disappear.

Super Shredder

He can grow from so many different things happening that it's kind of inevitable that he gets huge if he's left in play for a couple of turns. That's a big if, though, for a card that starts as a 1/1.

Tunnel Rats

Returning directly to the board is a pretty big upgrade on the similar cards we've seen lately.

Bot Bashing Time

This can kill most stuff, but it also trades down a significant chunk of the time.

Broadcast Takeover

If you run into the UR artifact deck, this is a worthwhile sideboard card. If you don't, it's unplayable.

Casey Jones, Jury-Rig Justiciar

This is going to wiff some even in the artifact deck, since some of the "artifacts" you're going to play are non-artifacts that make mutagen tokens.

Casey Jones, Vigilante

If this format had a more meaningful graveyard or discard theme, this would be interesting. As it is, he's really only going to feel good when you go use the cards he draws you right away, which mostly makes hime worthwhile in the late game.

Cool but Rude

There is discard in this format to be sure, but not so much you can go crazy with this. Mostly you're relying on level 1 to get level 2 going, and the "Gamble" final level isn't very good in Limit.

General Traag, Heart of Stone

In Blue/Red you're going to be able to sacrifice an artifact token for this or something else expendable. It's doable in other decks, but harder.

Hard-Won Jitte

Double Strike is nice and all, but oftentimes you need a creature to already be fairly good for it to matter.

Improvised Arsenal

This is going to offer +1/+0 at a minimum, and often more than that -- and in the late game making copies of this can really get you there.

Jennika's Technique

This returning a creature to your hand means that when you Sneak it, you can save a small creature -- but it's still pretty awkward on the whole, as these sorts of mass damage effects are hard to make hurt your opponent more than hurt you.

Manhole Missile

This is nice removal with some solid card selection mixed in.

Mouser Attack!

You're not getting a great deal with either mode here.

Mouser Foundry

This is passable in a lot of decks, but it gets really good in U/R where you can really use a card that singlehandedly makes 3 artifacts.

Mutant Town Musicians

The baseline here is kind of acceptable, even the Alliance trigger is a little underwhelming.

Null Group Biological Assets

This has a solid attack trigger and it's hard to block. That makes for a good combination.

Old Hob, Alleycat Blues

Getting a free token every turn is pretty sweet, especially if you have the extra mana to make it indestructible -- at which point it won't get destroyed at end of turn.

Purple Dragon Punks

This upside is pretty legit in this set as there are lots of Artifacts in Red. Also works nicely with Mutagen tokens and the like.

Raphael, Most Attitude

The alliance + attack trigger here is quite strong as it can net you a card, and Raphael's Menace makes it more likely you can find a way to take advantage of them.

Raphael, Ninja Destroyer

It's pretty tough to consistently have something to spend Raphael's Enrage mana on in Limited, so that's only some minor upside on a 4-mana 4/4 that has to be blocked.

Raphael, the Nightwatcher

If you can't Sneak him, just casting him normally can often offer a big immediate upgrade, and when you can sneak him, double strike coming out of nowhere and even giving it to himself is really good.

Raphael, Tough Turtle

This Alliance trigger can quickly add up, especially if you run him out on turn 2. A pretty underwhelming top-deck later in the game, though.

Raphael's Technique

Wheel effects are rarely very good in Limited -- most of the time your opponent will take advantage of all those new cards first since you're the one who had to cast this.

Ravenous Robots

Even getting one token out of this is great, and you're going to be able to really go off with this in Blue/Red, where it'll spit out tons of tokens and take over any game where it's left unchecked.

Rock Soldiers

The format has a decent number of targets for this, but they'll often be tokens, which isn't exactly amazing. The stat line is also super underwhelming, but at least it's an Artifact.

Slash, Reptile Rampager

I do wish you got the token immediately, but as long as he gets to attack once you'll come out way ahead, and if your opponent can't take him down at that point the game is pretty much over.

Spicy Oatmeal Pizza

A removal spell that also has a useful type is really great in this format.

Wingnut, Bat on the Belfry

I don't love the baseline here, but the Alliance trigger is going to be pretty good at enabling an attack with this, and buffing yoru whole board is exactly what you want to do in Alliance decks.

Zog, Triceraton Castaway

The "enters" trigger is the kind of thing you can't always take advantage of -- you sort of need to have a good board state to actually make it matter -- and the stats aren't great either.

Courier of Comestibles

This set has tons of great Food to tutor up, and in the event you don't have one, this is still a quality card since it'll give you a token.

Cowabunga!

This'll hit something most of the time, especially in UG, but it's still just a card selection spell and that's not always worth a slot.

Frog Butler

This is a great way to fix and ramp mana and death touch makes it relevant even once you don't need mana.

Groundchuck & Dirtbag

These guys are hug for the cost, but you can't always find a way to use the mana multiplying effect in Limited -- in fact, most of the time you just won't by the time you have 6 mana.

Guac & Marshmallow Pizza

This is a decent combat trick with really useful typing in a format that cares about Artifacts and cards leaving the battlefield.

Leatherhead, Swamp Stalker

This is a really scary creature on most boards thanks to Hexproof, and if she can get in for a hit -- which won't be that hard -- her ability to blow up Artifacts and Enchantments is very relevant here. She's a great place to put Mutagen +1/+1 counters.

Michelangelo, Game Master

This has an okay baseline and will get a counter on a decent number of turns.

Michelangelo, Improviser

This kind of effect always underwhelms in Limited because you rarely have a plethora of extra permanents where it's worth putting them into play from your hand. However, the interaction with Sneak here is sweet, since you will at least have the creature you returned to put on the battlefield.

Michelangelo, Mutant BFF

I would be ecstatic about this card even if he just gave me a Mutagen when he enters, but he can keep spitting them out from there, and his own tokens make it more likely he has a good attack to make more Mutagen.

Michelangelo, Weirdness to 11

Most of the time you'll be able to hit two creatures with this. The question is just how often it's 5+ mana worth of creatures -- or 4+ if you Sneak this -- but most of the time this'll generate a solid or better 2-for-1.

Michelangelo's Technique

A two mana 1/1 that makes a Mutagen is pretty sweet -- but he's way better than that since that Mutagen can put two +1/+1 counters on something for only one mana, and he gets even more insane when you have other +1/+1 counter stuff -- and you're going to.

Mona Lisa, Science Geek

The stats are pretty bad, but ramping and fixing is often welcome, especially since putting +1/+1 counters on her makes her much more potent.

Mutagen Man, Living Ooze

So all the Mutagen tokens he makes will be able to be sacrificed for free, and he also makes all of your Food significantly better too.

Mutant Chain Reaction

I think this format has enough targets for this for it to be a solid maindeck card. That Mutagen token is going to make it feel like way more than a card of value.

New Generation's Technique

Taking a turn off to ramp is rarely a good idea in most formats -- and even if you do get a discount when you Sneak it -- you actively subtract from your board when you do that.

Novel Nunchaku

This is a great removal spell that also augments a creature significantly, and leaves behind value even when that creature goes down.

Party Dude

I don't really want to give my opponent Food, even if Level 2 does mean that I can get some value when they sacrifice it. Furthermore, the Level 3 effect tends to be pretty weak in Limited where you rarely have a ton of cards in hand by the mid to late game.

Primordial Pachyderm

This is a nice body for slowing your opponent's roll. It's size and life gain will often help you stablize.

Ragamuffin Raptor

It's a little bit expensive perhaps, but the Raptor generates a 2-for-1 in a big way -- getting bad Food that is also a removal spell is pretty potent.

Rocksteady, Crash Courser

This is a big body that will almost always only be able to be chumpblocked.

Saved by the Shell

Paying two for this is actually pretty reasonable, as it's potent both as a card to win combat and blank a removal spell, so the fact you can cast it for one mana a significant chunk of the time is great.

Tenderize

This is always a quality removal spell when you see it. It gets particularly spicy with deathtouchers.

Transdimensional Bovine

The ramp here is pretty real, but a 3-mana 0/4 Flyer isn't a very good top deck.

Turtle Power!

This set does have more Turtles than most, but it's going to be tough to really make this worthwhile. There just aren't enough other incentives for building a Turtle deck.

Venus, Torn Between Worlds

She's not really going to grow all that often, but punishing chump blockers is nice. Her ability to draw you cards is what makes her really good.

West Wind Avatar

It's expensive, but this sets up it's own disappear while getting rid of permanents you don't really need, which can be really good when you're at 7 mana. It's a threat and a value engine, so it's a 7-drop worth the effort.

Zoo Escapees

Making a Mutagen token when something enters is way better, since you can use that token to put a counter on the creature, but this still generates some solid value.

Baxter Stockman

When he buffs his robot friend, it'll almost always have a worthwhile attack, and sometimes you'll have way better stuff to buff.

Bebop & Rocksteady

They're huge and all, but by the time you have enough expendable stuff to give up, their 7/5 body won't be nearly as scary, and sacrificing or discarding in the early game is rarely a good idea.

Brilliance Unleashed

A 6-mana Sorcery is a little clunky, but this delivers -- removing something and reanimating an artifact -- while will be a creature no matter what, is really, really good.

Dark Leo & Shredder

This won't be that easy to get in with when you don't sneak it, but luckily you can Sneak it, and even the "five or more ninjas" clause is on the table in this format, since Sneaking it will give you 2 of them.

Don & Leo, Problem Solvers

A 5-mana 4/6 with Vigilance is kind of acceptable, and this end step trigger can be quite strong in many decks.

Don & Raph, Hard Science

A three mana 2/4 with Menace isn't too bad, but you won't consistently take advantage of Affinity for Artifacts -- after all, you need a noncreature spell and a bunch of artifacts in play to get there.

EPF Point Squad

This creature is a liability at first, but it can grow quickly.

Foot Elite

This attack trigger is decent, and can help make sure a creature gets through for Sneak, but much of the time it will be meaningless.

Foot Ninjas

Not the most exciting creature to Sneak into play as it's just a big body that gains you some life, and casting it for 6 is brutal.

Genghis Frog

I would be on board here even if this only ever made one Mutagen token, so the fact that it is going to spit out several more in most cases is amazing.

Go Ninja Go

This can help you trigger Alliance and/or rebuy "enters" triggers while also being a quality removal spell.

Ice Cream Kitty

This Food is a good way to enable Disappear, and it can do it more than once.

Karai, Future of the Foot

Even without Sneak I'd play this card, and with it, it will sometimes be able to swing the game wildly in your favor.

Karai's Technique

Casting this for three is already pretty good -- buffing your board and killing something your opponent controls is going to make for a great turn, but the Sneak mode gives you a discount and lets you make the decision what to do with it when you have more information about combat.

Krang & Shredder

There are enough ways to get Disappear going in this format that Krang & Shredder are going to give you access to free spells often enough to be a very powerful card.

The Last Ronin

This is a baord sweeper that makes sure you come out ahead in the aftermath, and that's going to win you the game a huge percentage of the time.

Lessons from Life

This is an efficient way to draw cards and ramp your mana, but you can't always take a turn off to do it.

Mechanized Ninja Cavalry

A two mana 1/1 that makes a 1/1 is playable in basically any format, but this is great with Alliance and Artifact payoffs, too.

Mikey & Don, Party Planners

I don't love the base stats, but they let you cast or play so many things that they are going to let you rip through your deck in a big way if they are left alone.

Mikey & Leo, Chaos & Order

This format has enough counters for this to be a legitimate value engine.

Mouser Mark III

Even with the artifact typing, a two mana 2/3 with downside isn't going to be something you're super eager for.

The Neutrinos

This is a pretty wacky attack trigger -- it can give creatures pseudo-haste while also triggering Alliance, and it can also rebuy "enters" triggers.

Nobody

You do get the Scry no matter what here, and there are plenty of artifacts in the format -- even at lower rarities -- that give you extra value when you bounce them.

North Wind Avatar

A 5-mana 5/5 Flyer that draws you a card is great, and most of the time having a choice of any card in your sideboard is better than a random card from your deck.

Pizza Face, Gastromancer

He's a little bit clunky for how much he costs, but he does make sure you get a Food no matter what, and if he's left unchecked he can end up buffing lots of creatures and/or animating artifacts.

Punk Frogs

They're kind of hard to kill -- your opponent will often have to overspend to do it -- but this isn't particularly exciting beyond that. It's an adequate place to put +1/+1 counters.

Putrid Pals

We've seen lots of 4-mana 3/3s that grow when X happens, and they are almost never anything special because of their fail case.

Raph & Leo, Sibling Rivals

This can make for some devasting early game attacks, and even if Raph & Leo don't survive, if you have other creatures around you may be able to take advantage of the extra combat phase.

Raph & Mikey, Troublemakers

Most of the time, this is going to generate a 2-for-1 right away, while also smashing in for tons of damage. That's definitely worth 7 mana.

Slithering Cryptid

This is a solid card on rate alone, so the fact it goes great in both UG and UR makes it even better.

Splinter, Radical Rat

This gets particularly good with Sneak creatures, who often have abilities to trigger -- and he makes it easier to get Sneak going too with his activated ability.

Tainted Treats

The baseline here is Putrefy, and unlike that card this pays you off in situations where you aren't using your removal spell on a huge target.

Tokka & Rahzar, Terrible Twos

This'll mostly just be a two mana 3/2 with Menace. Keep in mind the ability is symmetrical, though.

Chrome Dome

This set has plenty of artifact creatures for this to buff, and copying Artifacts in the late game gives it some amazing utility.

Everything Pizza

This fixes your mana reasonably well, while also giving you good sacrifice fodder. If you find a way to use the ability, you're also probably going to win.

Henchbots

Only hitting tapped creatures is a pretty big downgrade from a Banisher Priest type effect, but this does still add something to the board while removing something, which is great.

Krang, Utrom Warlord

This is obviously very strong, but 9 mana is usually very difficult to attain in Limited.

Omni-Cheese Pizza

This is fine in the Disappear deck since it can help you trigger that, and fine in the Artifact deck because of it's type, but it's pretty underwhelming on the whole.

The Ooze

As long as this has stuff to exile, it's going to turn into an amazing value engine, and cards inevitability end up the graveyard.

Skateboard

The tap trigger is nice, but when we've seen similar cards without the tap trigger they haven't really been worth a card, and I'm not sure that does enough for this to cross that threshold.

Technodrome

This basically doesn't exist on the board until it gets big enough, and you're not always going to have Artifacts that are worth giving up. It does generate lots of value between those counters and cards though, and can turn into a pretty real threat.

Turtle Blimp

This gives you two permanents, and the Mutant it makes can crew it. Being an artifact alone has real value in the set, and it's not terrible with Sneak either.

Turtle Van

A 3-mana 4/4 vehicle with Crew 1 is kind of okay, and this can grow the creatures that crew it, making it even more worthwile to attack with it.

Weather Maker

Most 3-mana mana rocks that can tap for mana of any color are duds in Limited because they don't add to the board. However, this can also accumulate charge counters that make it far more relevant than most mana rocks. It's still pretty slow and clunky, though.

Dimension X

This whole cycle provides solid fixing, and the life gain is a nice little bonus.

Escape Tunnel

This is good fixing, and it has the added utility of helping you get in for damage once you don't need the mana -- and that can help set up Sneak, too.

Foot Headquarters

This whole cycle provides solid fixing, and the life gain is a nice little bonus.

Illegitimate Business

This whole cycle provides solid fixing, and the life gain is a nice little bonus.

Mutant Town

This whole cycle provides solid fixing, and the life gain is a nice little bonus.

Northampton Farm

This isn't very good for your mana, and while the ability has some utility, it's slow and highly situational, so I don't really think it's worth it most of the time.

TCRI Building

This whole cycle provides solid fixing, and the life gain is a nice little bonus.

Turtle Lair

Only making mana of any color for Ninjas and Turtles is a pretty big restriction, so this isn't always good for your mana. However, the ability to make stuff unblockable late helps make up for that.
