Ranking System
- Great (A): Cards that can win games on its own – also known as “bombs”.
- Good (B): Powerful cards that can be first picked.
- Above Average (C): Cards above the power level of most cards in the set.
- Average (D): These cards will likely be the core support of your deck.
- Below Average (E): Cards that are below the power level of the other cards, but can be either used as a filler card. Cards that are situational but can be least as a solid sideboard card is in this category also.
- Bad (F): Cards not too great for the limited environment, or too situational to be in your main deck. There is no reason to play these cards unless you really need that last card to fill your deck.
