Edge of Eternities: Stellar Sights (EOS) is a supplementary subset of the main set Edge of Eternities, and on average one appears in every 8 regular Play Boosters. All 45 cards in the EOS subset are reprinted lands, each with a different name, and they can be used in EOE Limited as well as in the formats where each card was originally legal. If you are supporting the main set’s subtheme of “when …, if you control a number of lands with different names, then …”, EOS is sure to be your best partner!

Rating Scale

5.0: Unconditional first pick, gives you a near-winning advantage
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
2.0 to 1.0: Below average, generally not played, can be used as filler if necessary but not too many
0.5 to 0.0: Unplayable, basically never play it, doing so will only help you lose

Card Reviews

Score: 2.5
Comment: In Limited, getting ahead on mana early creates a certain advantage, but being colorless and dealing damage to you when tapped are its flaws. In particular, Limited card quality is not high enough that deploying a threat early guarantees you can end the game before the life total pressure shows up.

Score: 2.5
Comment: A relatively rare non-spell form of removal that can turn the game around if used well. However, if your opponent’s board has an even mana value distribution or the threats cost a lot, it is harder for it to be effective.

Score: 2.0
Comment: An evasive creature land that is resistant to sorcery-speed removal, but its power is low and its impact on the game is limited.

Score: 3.0
Comment: A decent mid to late game resource engine, but it needs a creature with power 4 or more on the battlefield, so it is a win-more card. If your deck has enough creatures with 4 or more power, you can consider including it.

Score: 2.0
Comment: Extremely inefficient color fixing: it takes six mana to produce five mana of any one color. In addition, indestructible is basically meaningless on a land in Limited. So unless you have a late-game finisher that needs color fixing, it is not recommended for your deck.

Score: 3.0
Comment: Exalted is undoubtedly a fairly powerful ability in a Limited format that emphasizes creature combat, often creating favorable trades. However, its colorlessness and entering tapped cannot be ignored as weaknesses, and in deck building it may also limit the player’s tempo and multicolor potential.

Score: 3.0
Comment: A quality creature land. Although the activation cost is high, flying and vigilance are both top-tier abilities in Limited, and on top of that the 4/4 body is fully worth the five-mana activation. If the colors and deck match, you should prioritize taking it.

Score: 1.0
Comment: A card that easily puts you at a disadvantage. Unless your deck strategy is to go wide and then pump the whole team for a one-shot kill, there is no point in playing this card at all, and if you accidentally get hit early, it is very hard to win it back and hold on to it for long.

Score: 3.0
Comment: Another excellent creature land. Being unblockable is a more advanced form of evasion than flying, and its activation cost is reasonable and worthwhile. If the colors fit, you can prioritize taking it.

Score: 2.0
Comment: Another extremely inefficient color fixer, and it takes six mana to produce five mana of a chosen color. In addition, in Limited it is not recommended for your deck unless you have a late-game five-color finisher.

Score: 2.0
Comment: Untap lands have limited impact in Limited, unless you have lands that produce three or more mana, or quality creature lands that would be useful on defense if left untapped. Overall, though, the efficiency is not high, and it is not recommended for your deck.

Score: 2.0
Comment: A card that counters your opponent’s creature lands. It can be used as a sideboard card and is generally not recommended for the main deck.

Score: 2.0
Comment: A rather hard-to-use land. Unless you or your opponent have mill or other ways of putting lands into the graveyard, this card has little effect.

Score: 1.0
Comment: With only one Eldrazi rare in the entire set, this card can basically be considered useless. Do not include it in your deck unless necessary.

Score: 2.5
Comment: An interesting interactive land. You can imagine three higher-quality ways to use it:

• First, it can be used to protect your own creatures from removal;
• Second, it can remove a creature after blocking in combat to avoid non-trample damage;
• Third, it can trigger enters effects multiple times.

If used well, it can work wonders.

Score: 3.0
Comment: A classic land that gives the player on the draw a mana advantage, letting you deploy a two-mana threat earlier than your opponent and take the upper hand on the board. However, if you mulligan more than once, it is not suitable to exile more cards from your hand, so you have to use it with discretion.

Score: 2.0
Comment: A dual land, but with the side effect of gaining your opponent life. If your deck has few colors, you can still consider including it, since you don’t need it to produce the second color every time anyway.

Score: 2.0
Comment: A repeatable sacrifice/lifegain source. With a matching themed deck its power rises sharply, otherwise its usefulness is limited.

Score: 2.5
Comment: A fairly average dual-color creature land. A three-mana 2/2 deathtouch is indeed an ordinary body, so if you don’t have a matching color pair or build, there is no need to take it too early.

Score: 3.0
Comment: A decent creature land. Infect ignores your opponent’s life total and deals damage the opponent cannot make up for through lifegain. Together with its low activation cost and evasive flying, if your deck doesn’t have too many specific colors, you can consider taking it early.

Score: 3.0
Comment: With enough artifacts, gaining one life at each upkeep can gradually build an advantage. In addition, if your deck has a powerful artifact finisher, you can also sacrifice this land to search for it.

Score: 2.5
Comment: Another middling-to-weak creature land. A three-mana 2/2 is already a poor body, and activating the ability to increase its power is a poor deal, so it can basically be treated as an ordinary dual land.

Score: 1.5
Comment: In Limited it is basically equal to playing a plain tapped land, but it must produce three mana of the same color at once, which will tie your hands in use.

Score: 2.5
Comment: A four-mana 3/3 hexproof is an acceptable body, but whether it can still be an effective clock by the midgame is worth a second thought, so it can mostly be seen as a dual land with an extra bonus ability.

Score: 2.5
Comment: A five-color land with better flexibility. Its only drawback is that producing mana costs you life, so you need to pay more attention to life total management when using it.

Score: 2.5
Comment: A relatively weak color-fixing land. Its prerequisite is that you must already have a permanent of that color on the battlefield to produce that color; if you have no nonland permanents, it can’t produce any mana (it can’t produce colorless mana).

Score: 3.0
Comment: An interesting land. Of its two copy abilities, the stronger one should be the second, and if you can pay five mana to copy a creature you control with mana value five or more, it is even better.

Score: 3.0
Comment: A classic creature land. Compared with the other 2/2 creature lands seen earlier that need three mana to activate, Mutavault is clearly much stronger: it activates for just one mana, making it an extremely efficient creature land.

Score: 3.0
Comment: A land that can influence the game. Although the activation cost is high, if it can keep preventing your opponent’s strongest creature from attacking, it is undoubtedly a huge advantage.

Score: 2.5
Comment: Another creature land with a passable body. A four-mana 2/1 double striker is acceptable. It is worth considering as a finisher after the late-game resource trades, but it is relatively easy to remove.

Score: 2.0
Comment: Moving counters is not a practical ability in Limited. Most of the time the likeliest use is moving +1/+1 counters onto an evasive creature, and beyond that it is hard to make it effective.

Score: 2.0
Comment: There are rarely situations in Limited where you need to retrieve a land from the graveyard. Unless you get a creature land back in the very late game to try to close out the game, it is hard to imagine this card having many chances to shine in Limited.

Score: 2.5
Comment: A land of moderate strength, but only beneficial for decks with many legendary spells. Besides helping cast legendary spells, it can also produce the colors of your legendary permanents on the battlefield, and can even be sacrificed to give a legendary creature hexproof and indestructible.

Score: 2.5
Comment: A land that can cast or activate artifacts using mana of any color. Its last ability is harder to trigger in Limited, since few players will include ways to destroy nonbasic lands in Limited.

Score: 3.0
Comment: A relatively strong creature land. After activating it for four mana, it puts a +1/+1 counter on itself when attacking, equivalent to a four-mana 4/4 that grows again on its next attack, a strong clock in the mid to late game.

Score: 2.5
Comment: A decent multicolor land that can basically produce the colors you need; however, if you are constantly color-screwed, this land can’t save you either, so it can’t be treated directly as a true multicolor land.

Score: 2.0
Comment: Sacrificing itself to exile from the graveyard is not a powerful ability in Limited, but if put in the sideboard it might find some small use.

Score: 3.0
Comment: A creature land with lifelink that is a 2/3 for three mana to activate, which counts as a decent clock. If the colors fit, you can consider taking it early.

Score: 3.0
Comment: A three-mana 3/4 reach is an extremely high-quality body, a good option for both offense and defense, so it has better flexibility and is a card you can prioritize taking.

Score: 2.5
Comment: Although land destruction has little payoff in Limited, this set has many utility lands, and this card can also destroy a basic land to cut off one of your opponent’s colors, but it only pays off in specific situations.

Score: 2.5
Comment: Basically it can be treated as an ordinary tapped land that picks a color, and if your deck has other utility lands or creature lands with activated abilities it gives an extra advantage.

Score: 2.0
Comment: A land that depends heavily on your creature composition. If most of the creatures in your deck are Insects, this card’s power rises greatly, otherwise it becomes a useless colorless land.

Score: 2.5
Comment: A non-spell form of ramp. Compared with the more common instant or sorcery ramp, it saves a card, but the prerequisite is that you have another land in hand. Even so, its power in the early to midgame is not hard to feel.

Score: 2.5
Comment: Clone lands are much weaker in Limited than in Constructed. Their best scenario is copying your own or an opponent’s creature land to gain an extra clock, provided you can afford the activation cost afterwards.

Score: 3.0
Comment: A tricky creature land. After you attack, if your opponent declares no blockers, you can activate it at instant speed to swap offense and defense, turning one power into four. Great flexibility.

Conclusion

Edge of Eternities: Stellar Sights (EOS), as a supplementary subset of the main set Edge of Eternities, can be called rather exciting. Previous sets rarely had this many nonbasic lands, and they don’t take up space from nonland cards in deck building, which will noticeably raise the pace and interaction of the whole Limited format and let players experience a somewhat different feel of play. We wish everyone a great time playing!
