In this video, I give you my thoughts on every single red card in Final Fantasy, and how I think they'll perform in Limited.

What my grades mean:

I use a letter grade system, and my grades usually fall into a bell curve (Very few A’s and F’s, lots of C’s.)

A – Bombs that are always your first pick, they completely warp the game in your favor, and they easily pull you into their color(s). You always first pick these. These are cards you are ecstatic to have in your deck. Most sets have 15-20 of these. Tend to mostly be Mythics or Rares, though sometimes an Uncommon gets there.
(Ugin Eye of the Storms, Sage of the Skies, Ambling Stormshell)

B – Premium removal spells and highly efficient creatures, often worth first picking. Still strong enough to pull you into their colors, but not quite as game or draft warping as A’s are. These are cards you feel good about having in your deck, and you would play several copies of most of them. Mostly Uncommons and higher, but there are usually 10-15 commons that get there too.
(Rally the Monastery, Equilibrium Adept, Traveling Botanist)

C – Filler. These are cards you neither feel good or bad about having in your deck. You play them if you’re in their colors, but they don’t tempt you to go into their color at all. Usually includes reasonably efficient creatures, good combat tricks, and removal spells. These appear at all rarities, but are most frequently Common. (Iceridge Serpent, Stormshriek Feral, Champion of Dusan)

D – Playable in an emergency. These are cards that you don’t feel so good about playing, but in a pinch, sometimes you just have to play them. (Snowmelt Stag, Krotiq Nestguard, Boulderborn Dragon)

F – Unplayable. These are cards that you should never play. There are very few of these in modern Limited formats, but they do appear at all rarities, with the most usually appearing at Rare and Common. These are cards whose effects are pretty much useless or overly narrow. (Stillness in Motion, The Sibsig Ceremony, Wild Ride)

There are two categories of cards that I give two grades to: Build Arounds and Sideboard Cards.

Build Around: These are cards that need special synergy to be at their best – synergy that won’t just come naturally. For these cards, I give one grade indicating how I think the card will perform in a typical deck of that color, and another grade if you manage to get there on synergy. (Dragonbroods’ Relic, Desperate Measures, Tempest Hawk)

Sideboard Cards: These are generally cards that are Ds or Fs in your mainboard, but can perform much better out of the sideboard – at least as a C or higher. We see less of these today than we used to, since so many cards are modal.
(Heritage Reclamation, Mistrise Village)
