Rating Scale

5.0: Unconditional first pick, brings an almost game-winning advantage
4.5: Unconditional first pick in the right colors, brings a huge advantage
4.0: First-pick value, extremely synergistic with the color pair’s theme, can be the deciding card for splashing, switching colors, or entering a color pair
3.5: Top uncommons and commons of the set and other sufficiently strong cards, synergistic with the color pair’s theme, can be a key card for entering a color pair
3.0: Important cards for a color pair’s theme, plus other above-average cards you want in your final deck
2.5: Average, usually a decent curve filler
2.0 to 1.0: Below average, generally leave out, can be used as filler when necessary but not too many
0.5 to 0.0: Unplayable, basically don’t play it, playing it only helps you lose

Ratings

Score: 3.5
Comment:
Variants of Banisher Priest usually perform well in Limited, and warp can be used to reuse your own enter/leave effects.
This set has very few Assassins, and the rest are unimportant fillers, so this restriction can basically be ignored.

Score: 3.5
Comment:
The body itself is already a big flyer with super strong combat power, and it also gives you a resource-generating upside.

Score: 3.0
Comment:
A living weapon card: normally you can see it as a curve creature, but it also leaves behind extra added value.
A five-mana 3/4 flyer isn’t strong, but it is still usable, and the Equipment’s bonus itself isn’t weak. Moving it onto any small creature later will become a threat that gives the opponent a headache.

Score: 3.5
Comment:
Banishing Light has been reprinted for the third time within a year… and all three have different art, not even counting the name-change reprint Stormplain Detainment in TDM.
Because this set has Spacecraft, the need for removal of noncreature permanents may be higher than in a typical set, so the score is raised a bit over previous sets.

Score: 4.5
Comment:
A sweeper for mana value 5 or less is a super bomb in Limited, and this one doesn’t even miss noncreature Spacecraft.

Score: 3.0
Comment:
Triggering Flurry is not easy in this set, and after Flurry it is only a temporary one-turn power boost, so you needn’t care much about the Flurry clause and can just treat it as a three-mana 2/4 vigilance.
However, comparing across this set’s creatures costing three or less, you’ll find the 2/4 body has a very high survival rate, and many times you can freeload mindlessly with vigilance, then keep it back as a blocker or use it to station, both of which are good. In addition, vigilance creatures are also quite scarce in this set, which makes its role quite unique.

Score: 3.5
Comment:
Did you think I couldn’t tell that what you’re holding is Cori-Steel Cutter??
Just one Flurry is a big board win, but in Limited, improving the consistency of Flurry places fairly high demands on the deck’s curve design.

Score: 3.0
Comment:
When you have station or an evasive attacker that survives after attacking, you can roll the board into something terrifying. Being a 4/5 lifelinker itself also compensates for the risk of getting its head blown off with no blockers.

Score: 2.5
Comment:
Roughly a curve filler, but this set’s white has quite a few +1/+1-related supports, so its added value is slightly worth a look.

Score: 2.5
Comment:
This set has a huge number of creatures with 2 power and toughness greater than 2, so even double strike doesn’t easily break through the opponent without extra buffs. It plays out better on an aggro route with lots of pump effects or combat tricks.

Score: 2.0
Comment:
A combat trick with a very high ceiling, even with a chance to make a card-advantage trade of 0-for-1 or 0-for-2, but in essence it is still a combat trick, so use it when your deck easily gets +1/+1 counters.

Score: 2.5
Comment:
Its removal ability is unbeatable, but the risk of giving the opponent a Lander token is more than just letting them find a land. It may also become fertilizer for the opponent’s Void or artifact-related themes.

Score: 4.0
Comment:
Its combat power on offense and defense alone makes it a big bomb, and the Parallel Lives effect also has a chance to make you win big.

Score: 2.5
Comment:
It is at least a flyer, suitable for reusing the ETBs of your other permanents.

Score: 2.0
Comment:
A conditional 2 life is still useful, but the overall expected return is not high.

Score: 3.0
Comment:
Plain, unadorned white-style removal. This time it has a floor of 2, unlike in the past when it couldn’t deal any damage on an empty board.

Score: 3.0
Comment:
Continuous lifegain is worth quite a bit in Limited, though triggering the card draw isn’t very easy, and drawing once is enough to pay for itself.

Score: 3.0
Comment:
One-mana exile removal is great. In this set it shouldn’t be hard to find an artifact to attach it to, but there is still the risk of getting stuck with dead cards.

Score: 2.0
Comment:
A sorcery cantrip. If the cards you pick have +1/+1 counter or Flurry requirements, this card can be used as support.

Score: 3.0
Comment:
Two 1/1s for two mana perform decently in Limited. As for the Equipment-fetching clause, you can basically ignore it, unless you happen to open The Dominion Bracelet.

Score: 2.5
Comment:
Creatures that, in the past, came in at four mana with a token to create a board with a combined power of 4 have all performed well, and this one can also use warp to freeload an extra creature. However, in the past it was two 2/2s with a combined toughness of 4, whereas this time the total toughness is 3, slightly inferior to before, giving back the bonus from warp.

Score: 2.5
Comment:
In constructed formats this tempo is terrifying, but in Limited it will probably have a hard time showing its strengths, since it is ultimately just a 2/1 vigilance small creature.

Score: 3.5
Comment:
Glorious Anthem has always been strong in Limited. Station 2 can basically be done by tapping any creature, and after turning on Glorious Anthem, accumulating to station 12 is also much easier.

Score: 2.5
Comment:
Cast on curve, it is roughly a four-mana 4/4 or 5/5 vanilla creature. Late in the game the body has a considerable ceiling, but in that kind of board state, a body alone may not break through.

Score: 2.5
Comment:
The spiritual successor to Temporary Lockdown, but in Limited few opponents have such a sharp mana curve, so it may be a bit of a sideboard card.

Score: 2.5
Comment:
A floor of a two-mana 2/3, which is a base score for having a body. If you can see a Spacecraft, it becomes a creature that generates card advantage on entering for two mana, which is very strong.

Score: 2.5
Comment:
Four-mana removal is a bit heavy, but being able to destroy artifacts and gain life is still pretty good.

Score: 3.0
Comment:
The board value this card can generate, though not large, is still higher than a typical filler.

Score: 2.5
Comment:
Each of the two options on its own is worth about 2 points, and making it a flexible either-or card adds a bit of flexibility.

Score: 2.0
Comment:
Judging by Limited curves, what it digs up has a high chance of costing less than itself, so it may be no better than dutifully casting a solid six-mana damage source. Still, this card at least generates card advantage, and has the ceiling of becoming a powerful flyer through station.

Score: 2.5
Comment:
It performs wickedly in extreme aggro builds, and the board of multiple recurred creatures all getting +1/+1 counters together is terrifying, but as long as you lack a one-drop curve and only have two- and three-mana creature options, its performance of recurring only one creature is awkward.

Score: 2.5
Comment:
Portable Hole, why did you change your type? Although it can only deal with things costing 2 or less, as a one-mana removal spell it is efficient enough.

Score: 2.5
Comment:
If the ETB can reliably generate card advantage it is pretty good, but legendary creatures in this set are not plentiful, so I recommend leaving it out when your deck has fewer than three legendary creatures.

Score: 2.0
Comment:
A combat trick with slightly better added value, but in most cases it should only be considered in aggro.

Score: 3.5
Comment:
Reliably finding lands alone makes it completely worth including. Although the body is slightly small for a five-drop, since it is a 3-power flyer it still has a certain threat level.

Score: 2.5
Comment:
One of the supporting pieces for station.

Score: 2.0
Comment:
Only consider including it when your deck has enough +1/+1 support, but unless I’m playing a low-curve aggro deck, or this card’s type or cost and other attribute information can serve as support for other cards, I still wouldn’t want to use it.

Score: 3.5
Comment:
The suppressive power of its body on offensive tempo can’t be underestimated, because of station, even if your creatures can’t break through the opponent’s defense, it can still force a tap.

Score: 3.0
Comment:
The base body is passable. On the play, cast it on curve to grab tempo, and it can serve as a fake two-mana 3/3 damage source, and on the draw it generates extra resources.

Score: 3.0
Comment:
The body itself is a big deficit, and you must trigger Flurry once to get your money’s worth, but as long as you succeed in triggering Flurry once, it earns enough.

Score: 2.0
Comment:
A four-mana 2/2 is a huge loss, station 9 is not a small number, and although the combat power it buys isn’t bad, the tempo cost paid for it is a bit too much.

Score: 2.0
Comment:
This set has no shortage of high-cost curves, and even counting warp letting you get a spell once, relative to the effect and body, the cost is still a bit heavy.

Score: 2.0
Comment:
Used well, it can make the opponent miscalculate and explode instantly, but the requirements are a bit many, and since this card doesn’t add toughness, your creatures that should die will still die.

Conclusion

This time, white is as all-purpose as ever, able to handle both racing for speed and grinding long-game resources. If you want to play a fast-paced build, you can focus especially on the +1/+1 counter themes. Although these cards individually aren’t rated highly, they can combine into a complete aggro system.

In addition, this set’s white-blue theme, though not written on the cards, truly runs on the same rules as TDM’s Flurry, the only difference being that no ability reminder text is written on the cards.
