Insert Slugfest joke.
2 - Sometimes you just need that extra dude, but I would rarely play this. Better if you have a massive fatty in your deck that you want to see.
Cremate
2 - Cantrips, so its playable. Relatively good sideboard card for upkeep exiling those scavengers. Could see the maindeck if you are low on playables as a 23rd.
Daggerdrome Imp
3.5 - This is is an acceptable card to play when in a non-aggro black deck, but it really shines in Golgari with lots of scavengers to pump up this guy and swing with a big flying lifelinker.
Dead Reveler
5.5 - I like this guy a lot, on curve he's awesome. Unleash him for a 3/4 on turn 3. Good deal, you aren't losing as much as you are when you Unleash a Grim Roustabout or Splatter Thug feel free to do it the vast majority of the time.
Destroy the Evidence
Quickly, find some evidence worth destroying.
0.5 - You should never be maindecking this card and unless you're opponent is running loads of land Auras this is terrible, as the only "spell" non-basic worth bothering with, can just be sacced in response. The milling is also irrelevant as Dimir is largely impossible to run well in this set.
Deviant Glee
If thats a gleeful Massacre Girl, imagine an angry one.
4.5 - So Unholy Strength gets optional trample and it becomes a good card, weird but true. This keeps you ahead of your opponents really well. So many times I've been playing a Rakdos deck and they've slammed a Trestle Troll on turn 3 and it would completely brick wall, if not for the Deviant Glee.
Drainpipe Vermin
1.5 - Sideboard card against the hyper-aggressive decks just to chump and save some damage, sometimes you get them with the discard but unless you are blocking an X/1 without First Strike it is still just a 1-for-1.
Grim Roustabout
5.5 - The great decision, to Unleash and jam damage or to sit back and chump block forever? It does both very well, but if you're deck isn't getting through or you just want to hold for Impact to kill them with, best to leave the +1/+1 counters at home.
Launch Party
Is this Wizards joking about the destruction of said event?
3.5 - Not great but it does the job, and in Rakdos decks you can just sac the annoying Unleash guys who just can't get past their walls anymore. The Shock feels free which is nice.
Mind Rot
2.5 - The old limited staple, isn't a staple in this set. Sure its a 2-for-1 but this format is just a little too fast for its effective use. You can always throw it in at the 22nd or 23rd spot and get the last two cards but they have often killed you by that point.
Ogre Jailbreaker
So he can't attack if there are no gates? Thin flavour grounding there...
6 - I love this guy. He's a 4/4 for 4, he blocks well and if you have 2/3 gates he's almost always an auto-include. I've seen a deck with 3 of these on the field at one time, I didn't last long.
Perilous Shadow
3 - How good this guy is depends entirely on your deck, if you are playing aggro that finishes at 3 drops with just this guy at 4, he's normally pretty good as you can swing with a 4/8 pretty much every turn. In a higher end deck, not so great.
Sewer Shambler
4 - Despite the Swampwalk being high variance you can normally always maindeck this guy as the cheap scavenge gives you quite a few options, as he is normally always going to die in the first combat in which he is involved. Fits nicely into both Golgari and Rakdos.
Stab Wound
8 - All-star. I find that I rarely want to kill a creature with this unless its a Guildmage. I'd rather just sit back and watch my opponent's life total slowly disappear. Best on Unleashed creatures so you can continue to bring the beats whilst not worrying about losing your source of constant damage. That being said, I once put it on a Leashed Dead Reveler and sat back whilst my opponent could do nothing with his 0/1.
Terrus Wurm
3.5 - I have never seen this cast or have cast it myself. I don't think it's great but if you can make it to 7 mana, why not? The only 7 drops I have seen cast are Archon and Axebane Stag, admittedly someone killed me with Utvara Hellkite, twice...
Assassin's Strike
3.5 - 6 mana is a lot and often their hand is empty at this point. Far worse than Trostani's Judgement but unconditional removal is unconditional removal. I'd play this most of the time in non-aggro black decks.
Dark Revenant
4 - This is a high variance card, sometimes you want a flier that just won't go away but when its just on chump block mode. When your opponent has to throw a removal spell at this, you're in pretty good shape.
Shrieking Affliction
3 - If the matchup is aggro vs. aggro this is often a great card, with you both Unleashing guys and swinging in this will put you ahead in the race. In any other scenario, it's pretty bad. A Lava Spike often isn't worth the card in limited.
Slum Reaper
Reaping a Hastings near you.
3.5 - If your opponent is brick walling you with one guy, this is often sweet just acting as a removal spell but it gets worse the less dudes you have in play and the more that your opponent has. Variance isn't great in this type of removal spell.
Tavern Swindler
3.5 - A grizzly bear with a 50/50 chance that in a scenario where you would die by less than 3 life and this is untapped, you would not. Never tap this unless you would otherwise die.
Thrill-Kill Assasssin
6.5 - Another one of those decisions, to block or not to block? Unleash this and you probably have 3 turns of free damage, leash it and you can trade with their massive fatty, either way is a 1-for-1. One gets you damage in, the other saves damage. Work it out when you play it.
Ultimate Price
7 - Removal is removal and the cheaper the better. It kills 62/92 of the common/uncommon creatures in the format. So slam it in.
Zanikev Locust
4 - Overcosted but solid scavenge, you tend to get your money's worth with this. I'd run it if my deck got to 6 drops.
Desecration Demon
8 - Fatties that either kill all your creatures or kill your opponent. Only ineffective against Selesnya decks that produce lots of tokens.
Grave Betrayal
3 - 7 mana enchantments that don't immediately impact the board are great but if the game continues for 2 more turns, you probably win the game.
Pack Rat
The Pack contains a Legacy Merfolk deck.
9.8 - The best limited creature possibly ever. The best limited card since Jitte. Take it pack 3 when you are playing all colours except Black and still win. It's that good. Unless they have Supreme Verdict or on-time removal spell, they can't win.
Underworld Connections
Do they have Arenas in the Underworld?
7 - Whilst this slows you down by a turn but drawing an extra card from turn 4 onwards, is insane and will get you so far ahead.
Necropolis Regent
Innistrad gets its obligatory nod.
8.5 - A 6-drop that wins you the game, have to have a fair amount of fixing in order to enable 3 colours with this beast, but its is worth running.
