I am training for an RPTQ for Mythic Championship London, and am creating a card-by-card set review of Ravnica Allegiance for both limited and standard, with most cards being rated the day they are spoiled. Check it out here. I would love to see what everyone else thinks, so please comment to this post or the Google Doc. Please do not suggest a change in rating without an explanation.
You are right, Amerigo99. I didn't notice the "end" part. I still thing it is only a C+ to B depending on how many ways we have to deal direct damage without using mana.
picnic_bomber, I agree that it could go higher if there are a lot of counter synergies or the format turns out slow like dominaria. Threat of activation is also helpful.
I strongly disagree with Simic Ascendancy as a D+ in Limited. While the second and third abilities are almost irrelevant, growing creatures repeatedly for 3 mana at instant speed is very good, making any creature in the late game a big threat. I also suspect that much more support will come for +1/+1 counter synergies in Simic, so it will only get better as the spoilers go on. I would rate it at least a B-.
I agree, especially if you can get anything with Hexproof in limited, it can be pretty strong.
Just gonna point out that The Haunt of Hightower should not be in this list, or if you do include it, do so only for constructed as it is the Buy-A-Box card and therefore will never come from a pack
