A 1/1 body for 1 isn’t worth much, so I felt you needed some way to turn it into a threat, and making it into a flier would be too slow. I was too low on Lunarch Veteran, because I felt the White decks were aggressively-slanted and low on buffs. Sometimes you can get the Coven ability and exile the card before they can sacrifice it, but that’s jumping through some hoops for not that great a tempo card. ![]() There are too many ways to sacrifice this set for Candletrap to be an amazing removal spell. I think I underrated Coven enablers a bit - I thought it would be very easy to enable, and having drafted extensively, I now downgrade that to just “easy”! There are enough cards that want to be enabled early that it is a worthy tiebreaker if cards are close to as good as each other. With that in mind, some of the slower deck cards like Beloved Beggar and Candletrap have taken a hit. Even the slower White decks like Azorius tend to be flier-heavy and want to use their early turns well - the common strategy is to get a big tempo advantage and then use your Disturb creatures to grind your opponents out. Without further ado, let’s jump into the rating changes! White If the change is small, or it’s stuff I’ve already covered, I won’t write one, but you can still see the change itself in the list. For length’s sake, I’ll only include a description for changes that I feel need it.That way, you can see my thoughts going into the format and better assess what I got right and wrong. The grades from my original tier list have changed, but I wrote a long description that hasn’t.I think I was close to right on most of the rares and I have less data on those, so the change has to be bigger and more apparent for them to make an appearance. My changes will be mostly commons and uncommons, since those are the most important cards in any Limited format.I’m now more than 40 drafts into Innistrad so expect a wide range of changes! That means there may well be cards I changed my grade on near the start of the format, alongside the cards I changed just now. Tovolar, Dire Overlord // Tovolar, the Midnight ScourgeĪlthough I update frequently as I draft, this is the first written update I’ve done with explanations. Ludevic, Necrogenius // Olag, Ludevic's Hubris Kessig Naturalist // Lord of the Ulvenwald Reckless Stormseeker // Storm-Charged SlasherĪrlinn, the Pack's Hope // Arlinn, the Moon's Furyĭennick, Pious Apprentice // Dennick, Pious Apparitionĭevoted Grafkeeper // Departed Soulkeeper Harvesttide Infiltrator // Harvesttide Assailant Jerren, Corrupted Bishop // Ormendahl, the Corrupterįangblade Brigand // Fangblade Eviscerator Graveyard Trespasser // Graveyard Glutton Suspicious Stowaway // Seafaring Werewolf Midnight Hunt Arena Draft Tier Listĭelver of Secrets // Insectile Aberration This’ll take form through quick grade changes I make on the fly alongside the occasional big written update. I will be updating this tier list regularly as the set develops, so it’ll remain useful throughout its lifespan. don’t commit to colours before you have good reason to. Colourless cards should be taken about a grade higher early on, because they can go in any deck and staying open is a big advantage i.e. Two colour gold cards should be taken lower early on – you won’t be able to play them unless you’re specifically in those colours. There are no subgrades for F or S tier cards. Beyond that, a B+ means it’s almost an A, but not quite. ![]() Grades are based on maindeck power level I discuss sideboarding here.Įvery grade can have a subgrade within it, but the differences are most pronounced in the C Category, so they have their own description. F: Cards that are unplayable in the vast majority of decks. ![]()
