    It's strange. Opal Lake has a <1 CMC effect attached, Ubul Sar a 1 CMC effect, Saruli a 2 CMC effect (a bad one though), Sunspire a 2 CMC effect, then suddenly Smelt-Ward gets a 3 CMC effect. All very strange. It's a very awkward effect too, because it's a fairly aggressive effect on a defensive card. It's really the Grixis-coloured ones that really shine in the Limited format.

    Aparently the Green one has been doing well in limited.

    Only really if you're playing some big a** 5-Colour Control thing. Travis Woo's insisting on using it. It's definitely still the worst one. With the choice, I think I'd choose Sunspire before Saruli, even in control variants.

    Saruli are pretty good, it basically puts an aggro deck a turn behind, without losing any cards for you.

    DGM-GTC-RTR is definitely not an aggro format though. Maybe in the sideboard, but seeing good aggro decks is a rarity; especially when compared to the number of good midrange and control decks there are. It's a very bomby format.

    I don't exactly see it being played in any deck other than Limited. I imagine that even Heroes' Reunion is more likely to be played elsewhere.

    Is it good in Pauper? I imagine playing playing white for Centaur Healer before this.

    I'd say it's even better than Healer most of the time, except in certain decks (like, T2 Healer is still a total bomb).

    Interesting enough, IMO, the worst one in limited is Ubul Sar, because most creatures are x/4.

    Opal Lake is nothing amazing, but it's a cantrip on a nice body. Saruli is good against aggro. Smelt-Ward is hilarious at stealing opponent's win conditions. Sunspire is 2 bodies in 1, which is pretty amazing. Ubul Sar...yeah, it's the only medicore one.

    Aggro is still viable in RTR block draft.

    Saruli and Sunspire are easily the best since they grant you the biggest tempo boost.

    On a more unrelated note...Luis, you play LoL? O.o

    More OT: I feel like making a Maze End deck with those.
