4.5: Unconditional first pick if you are in the right colors, gives you a huge advantage
4.0: Worth a first pick, excellent synergy with the color pair’s theme, can be the deciding card for splashing/switching colors or moving into a color pair
3.5: The set’s top uncommons and commons and other sufficiently powerful cards, good synergy with the color pair’s theme, a key card for moving into a color pair
3.0: Important card for the color pair’s theme, as well as other above-average cards you will want in your final deck
2.5: Average, usually a decent curve filler

Card Reviews

Score: 2.0
Comment: A narrow counterspell that only needs a little blue. If your opponent happens to have a very strong artifact or enchantment, swap it in for the sideboard games to hate on them.

Score: 2.0
Comment: This set has almost no creatures that can hit to trigger effects to pair with it, so it just reliably deals two damage a turn.

Score: 3.0
Comment: If you have an artifact, you can surveil first and then draw, and the more artifacts you have the deeper the filtering. In the worst case, even if you can’t surveil, simply drawing three for five mana is already strong enough.

Score: 2.5
Comment: As long as you control another artifact, it is a three-mana 2/4 flyer, a reasonably usable curve creature.

Score: 3.0
Comment: The body and enters effect are identical to {% mtglink “Sibsig Appraiser
” %}, but this one also has Warp, giving you a chance to filter twice. A very solid curve creature.

PS: The robot being wrecked by a dog in the art is the Guidelight Synergist from the DFT set.

Score: 3.5
Comment: Look at the top X cards of your library, where X is based on the number of lands you control, and put one of them into your hand. The more lands, the deeper you dig. If you kick it, you gain an extra card, picking two cards in total for your hand. A very powerful card advantage spell in the mid to late game.

Score: 2.5
Comment: Draws a card on both entering and leaving the battlefield. The ability can only keep an already tapped creature tapped for one more turn, which is somewhat limiting. An ordinary filler that fits the artifact theme.

Score: 3.0
Comment: For just one mana, the enchanted creature is practically ruined: it is destroyed when dealt any damage or tapped. Without other abilities it can only block once, and the -5 power also greatly reduces its efficiency for Station.

Score: 3.0
Comment: It can bounce any nonland permanent, handy both for temporarily dealing with a threat on the opponent’s board and for protecting your own permanents. If the target permanent was attacking, you also get a 1/1 flying artifact creature token, removing the threat while developing your board. Strong removal for blue.

Score: 1.5
Comment: Soft counterspells are generally not very good in Limited, and giving you a Lander token when the counter fails seems a bit pointless.

Score: 3.0
Comment: At worst it is a two-mana 0/4 blocker. Its power increases based on the mana value of other artifacts you control. If your deck has enough artifacts to pair with it, it can hit reasonably hard early, and it can grow even bigger as the game goes on.

Score: 3.0
Comment: As long as you have cast another spell this turn, you can cast a 4/4 creature for only two mana. Staggeringly efficient and a big help for developing your board in the midgame.

Score: 2.5
Comment: A one-mana 1/1 flash flyer. You can slap it down early to aggressively chip in damage, flash it in to ambush-block in combat, or even sacrifice it when you no longer need it to turn it into a fresh card. The body is flimsy, but it is versatile and a good one-drop.

Score: 3.0
Comment: After you cast two spells this turn it becomes unblockable, and when it hits a player you draw cards. The two abilities form a nice loop. In a Limited format that values trading resources, this card has the potential to pull ahead on card advantage.

Score: 3.0
Comment: It can be used as a combat trick: flash it in to attach to a creature right away and give it hexproof, protecting it from removal. The +1/+2 also gives the equipped creature the upper hand in combat.

Score: 2.5
Comment: It grows as soon as you cast a second spell, a fine curve play for the “second spell” theme. If you can trigger the ability once the turn it enters and grow to 3/2, it justifies its cost. If you can’t trigger it reliably, though, it is a bit mediocre.

Score: 2.0
Comment: It can only put the target on the top or bottom of the library, so it is not a permanent solution, but it works on a Spacecraft that has not yet become a creature, and the surveil 1 is basically a freebie.

Score: 3.0
Comment: As long as an artifact enters under your control, it reliably makes 2/2 creatures, applying long-term pressure on the board. Paired with flash artifacts it can even make creatures on your opponent’s turn, with the potential to build an overwhelming board.

Score: 2.5
Comment: Each time it taps you can loot, helping to filter your hand. It lets you Station a Spacecraft or attack while improving your hand. A good curve creature.

Score: 2.0
Comment: It can attack on turns when an artifact entered, otherwise it is just a guard. 3 power is decent, but 2 toughness leaves it at a disadvantage in combat.

Score: 2.5
Comment: Whether it enters via Warp or is hard-cast, on entering it taps one of your opponent’s artifacts or creatures and keeps it tapped for another turn. The effect is useful and the body is big enough, but it takes six mana to hard-cast, which is a bit mediocre for a finisher. It suits the role of a backup threat.

Score: 2.5
Comment: It draws a card and taps down an opponent’s creature or artifact, creating a tempo advantage on offense or defense. Very strong if paired with the spell-casting theme, a flexible spell that can both attack and defend.

Score: 3.5
Comment: It can cast artifact spells from the top of your library, but only artifact spells. Every artifact you control can tap for one blue mana, but that mana can only be used to cast the top card of your library or spells previously exiled with Warp. It offers a very high ceiling of card advantage and mana acceleration, but with many restrictions, which is a shame. As a 3/4 flyer it is barely acceptable on its own, but if you can build around the artifact theme it has a chance to be a near-bomb-level card.

Score: 1.0
Comment: Extremely reliant on synergy. Without a steady supply of tokens it struggles to generate value. It also risks getting two-for-oned, so overall it is more of a pipe dream.

Score: 2.5
Comment: A 6/6 with flying and ward is indeed a big threat, but seven mana is a bit too high. The enters effect reduces the attack power of all the opponent’s creatures for a turn, but it can’t actually clear the board.

Score: 2.5
Comment: Tapping it untaps another permanent, so even without attacking it can trigger abilities through Station. Paired with another creature it Stations very efficiently, and it can also untap a land for an acceleration-like effect. Very flexible.

Score: 4.5
Comment: A 4/6 flyer is already an overstatted big threat, and it draws a card on entering, giving it an excellent body and baseline value. When your hand runs low, the extra draw effect is excellent: it triggers on any of your draws, even the draw step at the start of your turn, and can quickly widen the gap in cards in hand late in the game. On top of that, Warp has a reasonable cost, so early on you can pay two mana to turn it into a card without it getting stuck in your hand. A bomb-level finisher.

Score: 2.5
Comment: It can tutor an artifact from your library to your hand or retrieve an artifact from your graveyard to your hand. The potential for a two-for-one gives it value in the resource war. Great flexibility, and especially strong in decks built around artifacts.

Score: 3.0
Comment: A decent body with a flexible effect: on entering you can choose to sacrifice an artifact to put a +1/+1 counter on a target creature and draw a card. If you have spare tokens to sacrifice, it is a highly efficient four-drop.

Score: 2.5
Comment: The -3/-0 on entering is not especially strong, but Warp for just one mana lets it play a key role in the second-spell theme.

Score: 2.5
Comment: On entering it bounces up to two creatures, whether to disrupt your opponent by bouncing their creatures or to replay your own creatures for their enters abilities. Although it needs Station 9 to become a creature, once it does it is a menacing 4/7 flying threat, and attacking mills your opponent for four cards. Land three or four hits and even if the opponent blocks everything they will still get milled out.

Score: 3.0
Comment: The body is a huge 3/5 flyer that is nearly impossible to deal with without a removal spell. Warp costs only two, so it is unlikely to get stuck in hand early, and the surveil 2 on entering also improves your later draws.

Score: 3.0
Comment: Any triggered ability from a permanent entering under your control triggers an additional time, which pairs perfectly with the many enters abilities in this set. Warping it in costs only two, so on a key turn you can slam it down with Warp and, together with other permanents entering, create an explosive advantage.

Score: 3.5
Comment: You draw as many cards as the damage any creature you control deals to an opponent, so the potential card advantage is very considerable. Its 7/7 body is a real threat to the board when hard-cast in the very late game, and Warp also lets it enter once in the midgame to draw a wave of cards alongside your other attackers.

Score: 2.5
Comment: A mana dork dedicated to the artifact theme. It helps cast artifact spells and also activate artifact abilities, contributing a lot to the artifact theme. As a 1/1 flyer it can occasionally attack to chip in damage.

Score: 3.0
Comment: With Station 2, at the beginning of combat it turns another artifact you control into a 2/2 flying creature, and using that creature to attack for damage or to Station itself are both good. After Station 9 it becomes a 4/4 flying vigilance creature that can attack and defend at once, and after attacking it can still be used to Station other Spacecraft.

Score: 2.5
Comment: Once enchanted, it can steal an opponent’s creature or Spacecraft. It will not untap, so it can’t be used to Station or take part in combat, but you can still use its abilities, so it retains decent value.

Score: 2.0
Comment: Besides being a hard counterspell, if it counters a creature cast with Warp you draw a card, a tiny bit better than a plain hard counterspell.

Score: 3.0
Comment: Besides a decent body, it makes the second spell you cast each turn cost two less. It works well with the low-cost casting of Warp, making it easier to cast a second spell, so it is not hard to get the cost reduction benefit.

Score: 2.5
Comment: Draw two and discard one on entering filters your hand, and Station 8 turns it into a 4/4 flyer. It has both curve and late-game function, making it a usable filler.

Score: 3.5
Comment: Drawing seven cards for six mana is extremely powerful in Limited, and since it shuffles your hand and graveyard back into your library, you don’t have to worry about decking yourself. The downside is that your opponent gets a free spell first, but you draw so many cards that the card advantage you gain nearly cancels out that side effect. Next turn, with the card from your draw step, you will have eight cards in hand, and whether you need to deal with the threat your opponent got for free or slam down your own threats to stare each other down, you have good odds.

Conclusion

Blue continues to play the role of a resource color in this set, steadily building advantage through Warp, filtering, card draw, and bounce. Although it lacks strong hard removal, it can still handle most situations with tempo and card advantage. Although there are relatively few blue bombs in this set, most individual cards have decent power, and the overall quality is stable, so it is worth considering as a secondary color when building your deck.
