‍

Honorable Mention: Threefold Thunderhulk (Rating: 8.6)

‍

‍

This seven-mana rare excels by deploying four creatures upon entry for immediate defense, then continuously threatens with further Gnome creation upon attacking, offering a game-dominating presence that justifies its cost, making it an enticing early pick for a ramp-focused strategy.

‍

#10: Ojer Pakpatiq, Deepest Epoch // Temple of Cyclical Time (Rating: 8.6)

‍

‍

This card presents a paradox by offering a potent 4/3 flier for four mana that enhances instants with rebound and transforms into an Island upon death, only to reappear later, yet ironically, its impact is limited in a set scarce with instants, making its theoretically strong design less effective in practice despite its status as a formidable rare.

‍

#9: Magmatic Galleon (Rating: 8.6)

‍

‍

This exceptional card offers significant value by eliminating the opponent's biggest threat, potentially rewarding you with a Treasure, and transforming into a formidable Vehicle, making it a highly advantageous pick with minimal effort needed.

‍

#8: Unstable Glyphbridge // Sandswirl Wanderglyph (Rating: 8.8)

‍

‍

Unstable Glyphbridge offers a potent yet mandatory symmetrical effect that, while not always beneficial, allows strategic gameplay planning, complemented by its transformation into Sandswirl Wanderglyph—a sufficiently impactful creature to clinch the game after clearing the board, marking a new era where board sweepers also serve as formidable win conditions.

‍

#7: Quintorius Kand (Rating: 9.0)

‍

‍

Quintorius stands out as a formidable planeswalker, effortlessly creating 3/2 tokens every turn for ground dominance and enhancing survivability with its life gain and discovery abilities, making it a highly versatile, easily splashable, and essential threat with a powerful ultimate and good loyalty abilities.

‍

‍#6: Palani's Hatcher (Rating: 9.2)

‍

‍

For a mere five mana, Palani's Hatcher can unleash a formidable sequence of creatures—a 5/3, followed by a 3/3 with haste, and another 3/3 next turn—if not quickly dealt with, making it an exceptional first pick and a significant rare in any draft.

‍

#5: Huatli, Poet of Unity // Roar of the Fifth People (Rating: 9.6)

‍

‍

Huatli distinguishes itself by providing card advantage, mana smoothing, and escalating to a saga that delivers tokens, summons formidable Dinosaurs, and bestows double strike, marking it as an exceptionally potent card within the set.

‍

#4: Trumpeting Carnosaur (Rating: 9.8)

‍

‍

Trumpeting Carnosaur impressively combines a potent six-drop with a viable three-drop removal option, ensuring it remains useful in fast-paced games and against aggro decks, making it one of the set's top picks with versatility that allows it to fit seamlessly into any deck strategy.

‍

#3: Ojer Kaslem, Deepest Growth // Temple of Cultivation (Rating: 9.8)

‍

‍

Ojer Kaslem, a 5 mana 6/5 trample that feels nearly invincible and can decisively tilt the game in your favor by dealing damage to the opponent, stands out as the premier god of its cycle, offering game-dominating presence and the ability to bypass casting costs for creatures, making it an overwhelmingly powerful pick that should never be passed.

‍

#2: Aclazotz, Deepest Betrayal // Temple of the Dead (Rating: 9.8)

‍

‍

Aclazotz stands out as an exceptionally powerful god card, earning a top rating for its combination of flying, lifelink, and the ability to swing life totals dramatically while offering material advantage through forced discards or draws, and its transformation from Temple of the Dead back into Aclazotz is notably straightforward, making it a formidable and almost unbeatable presence in the game.

‍

#1: Bonehoard Dracosaur (Rating: 9.8)

‍

‍

This card, a 5/5 with flying and first strike for five mana, promises immense value if it survives to your next turn, potentially delivering three to four cards' worth of advantages, making it a game-changer despite its vulnerability to removal and the delay in activating its powerful effects.
