Legions week: Playing wizards? 13,000+ people on EDHREC are, and if you're one of them Riptide Director can draw you a whole lot of cards every turn for 2UU with this fifty cent rare.

Legions week: Gempalm Polluter is a straight up kill spell in a lot of go-wide zombie lists when cycled for BB. You're probably never going to cast it at the 5B cost, but being able to dome one person for lethal while swinging your zombie army at someone else is dynamite.

Legions week: Playing kindred birds or clerics? I'm sorry. Still, this is a flying body that after blocking a beater can bring a pair of birds and/or clerics back from the yard to play. It's not amazing, but if you wanted amazing you wouldn't be playing birds and clerics.

Legions week: Noxious Ghoul is a brutal one-sided board wipe in zombie decks, and despite seeing play in about 30k zombie lists that's probably not enough.

Legions week: Withered Wretch is a nice bit of utility in a zombie or cleric deck, letting you surgically deal with other people's graveyard nonsense without it impacting your own graveyard nonsense.

Legions week: Tribal Forcemage is a four mana overrun in a kindred/typal deck, and you can even spread that mana out over multiple turns. It's especially good if you're the kinda person playing say elves, who doesn't want to sully your elf list with a non-elf like 'hoof.

Legions week: Being able to give all your wizards in a wizard deck flying for an alpha strike is really useful, especially when the ability is hard to stop short of a stifle. Gempalm Sorcerer isn't amazing, but in the right deck nothing else really does what it does.

Onslaught week: Aurification is an odd duck of a pillowfort card, making all creatures that hit you into walls. One added bit of play here is if you move a gold counter onto another creature, it also becomes a defender that can't attack.

Onslaught week: Wirewood Lodge is really simple; it's a colorless land that untaps target elf. Worst case if you happen to have an elf commander it's pseudo vigilance. But best case it untaps something busted like Lathril, Blade of Elves or Marwyn, the Nurturer.

Onslaught week: Sure it doesn't do much if your opponents are also playing typal, but what are the odds of that? If you're playing a typal deck of some sort, Onslaught entirely skips your stuff, and takes out 2W worth of your opponents bodies every time.

Onslaught week: Giving all your creatures in your typal deck shroud can cause problems, but it's really often worth making all your opponents be unable to interact with your creatures. This card hasn't had a reprint either, making it particularly tricky to track down.

Onslaught week: If you're playing elves, then this Gaea's Cradle at Home is still pretty spectacular. Generally speaking elf decks don't struggle for mana, but if you brew right you can always use more, and Elvish Guidance provides plenty more.

Judgment week: If you hit the threshold, Hunting Grounds lets you play a creature for free whenever your opponent plays a creature. You probably want a deck that has ways to hit threshold aside from hoping it happens, but the upside on this is huge for two mana.

Judgment week: Because you can tap two of the birds you just made, Battle Screech can wind up making you 4 1/1 birds for 2WW and tapping one other creature. That's a really solid rate even by today's standards.

Judgment week: Firecat Blitz has a pricey flashback cost, but it doesn't matter as the base spell is so good. Better yet, the cats have been errata'ed to be elemental cats, so in a deck like Omnath, Locus of Rage it's often just a win condition if you have a sacc outlet.

Torment week: Last Laugh is kind of a cascading effect, making a thing go to the yard deal damage to things that might make them go to the yard, which deals more damage, etc. In the right deck it can be devastating.
