Another GTC card to rate is...

Burning-Tree Emissary

 Spoiler: Show

5.0
: First pick no matter what.  I will always play this card.
4.5
: Splashable and first pick worthy.
4.0
: First pick pack 1.
3.5
: Early pick though not always a first pick.
3.0
: Solid early/mid pick.
2.5
: Solid pick in color.
2.0
: Should generally make the deck if in this color.
1.5
: Decent filler.
1.0
: 23rd card if you have to.
0.5
: This card will sometimes be sideboarded in.
0.0
: I will never put this card into my deck (main deck or after sideboarding).


This dude is ok.  I think he's more meant for constructed then limited but if I have him and I'm in gruul I'll play him.  He's not what I consider a super early pick though.

2.5

In the right limited deck he fills out your board T3. That's pretty sweet. He can also help boros fix into gruul. Bears are super-relevant this time around... I mean, T1 spire tracer into this + madcap skills is pretty much game, no?
Limited Guidelines:

5.0: I will take this card no matter what: Pack Rat
4.5: Bomb and/or splashable creature or removal: Aetherling
4.0: Excellent first pick first pack, will sway me into same colors: Advent of the Wurm
3.5: Excellent first pack pick two, will confirm colors or possibly sway into second color. Gaze of Granite
3.0: Good in-color addition, or splashable removal/creature: Ascended Lawmage
2.5: Solid pick in-color: Bronzebeak Moa
2.0: Creatures 10-16; removal 6-7. Haazda Snare Squad
1.5: My 23rd or 22nd card, depending on removal. Wake the Reflections )
1.0: 23rd card if I don't maindeck an additional land: Murmuring Phantasm
0.5: This card will sometimes be sideboarded in: Uncovered Clues
0.0: I will shred this card for counters: Possibility Storm

I've seen people play this in boros in order to splash gruul charms or rubblehulks better. It's funny to see people drop her, attack, then proceed to bloodrush rubblehulk and win. People always forget.  It's a good mana fixer and will be used more often that way than as a 2/2 bear that you drop on turn two.

Pretty good tempo if you hit this on turn two with another two drop in hand. Pretty solid in general as a bear with upside, but it kind of depends on how relevant bears turn out to be in this format. They are looking better than they were in RtR so far.

2.5

3-3.5. I would not mind first-picking this guy. He's very, very good.

I'll go with 3.0 to start. The possibility of getting multiple creatures out on turn 2 is too good to pass up, and if you draw it later than turn 2 it is still mana neutral, meaning you can play it in addition to whatever else you were thinking about playing that turn. I am excited to play this set when it is released online.

5.0 because I used him at pre-release once with Madcap Skills and he's a game ender, let me tell you boy!

That is suspicious because you shoudn't ever be able to use her mana to activate bloodrush, it would empty at the end of your 1st Main Phase before you have any attacking creatures.

Moriok Rigger does absolutely nothing to boost other riggers. You are incorrect.



Moriok Rigger is not a Rigger in print. Only in Errata

WHAT NOW!

(yes, I did put that phrase in for that exact reason)


Congratulations, they have activated your trap card!
