We don’t have a block constructed GP this year (and the whole format is pretty much dead now because of the new two set blocks), but I thought I’d still make this list, just like last year with Theros.

Limited Fun: Bloodfire Enforcers
Admittedly, I haven’t really enjoyed Fate Reforged draft thusfar. Its seems to be too much of a “prince” format, where you need to get that all-important bomb rare in the first pack and as the format seems to be quite slow, you need to draw that rare to win games. Otherwise, you are mostly just sitting there in a board stall.
However, there are high points.
Self-Appointed Flavor Judge – Tasigur
Here’s a definite fail. How much power and toughness does a guy have, when you describe him like this:
… he’s under twenty, you know, and pale and sickly.

Fate Reforged Brews, pt. 9 – Atarka
Actually, this is more about [scryfall]Xenagos, God of Revels[/scryfall], but since that’s an old card, I’m not going to bring him up in the heading.
Fate Reforged Brews, pt. 8 – Return of the Blue Devotion
[scryfall]Cloudform[/scryfall] seems innocuous enough. A 2/2 protected flier for 3. Not really constructed playable, I guess. Unless, of course, you want the devotion. Maybe in some situations, it would be good to have a [scryfall]Master of Waves[/scryfall] with hexproof, although in that case you don’t get the tokens, of course, but if another Master brought in the tokens, this one could keep them alive.
Fate Reforged Brews, pt. 7 – UBx Control with Crux of Fate
If UB control is a thing, then why not Sultai or Grixis? UB is going to be strong anyhow, with the addition of [scryfall]Crux of Fate[/scryfall], and it can help here as well.
Fate Reforged Brews, pt. 6 – Humble Defector
[scryfall]Humble Defector[/scryfall] is a card you know can’t be that good, but you just wish you could find a way to use it profitably.
… and maybe there is.
Fate Reforged Brews, pt. 5 – Monored
Admittedly, [scryfall]Temur Battle Rage[/scryfall] sort of speaks to me, but I don’t think its that good. Especially not for pushing damage through. For that, [scryfall]Titan’s Strength[/scryfall] is going to be better most of the time. Its cheaper and does three fairly reliably. It also works well with [scryfall]Prophetic Flamespeaker[/scryfall]. So, Battle Rage might work as some sort of poor fifth [scryfall]Titan’s Strength[/scryfall], but not much more than that.
I did, however, find some other cards I might be interested in using.
Fate Reforged Brews, pt. 4 – Warden of the First Tree
A 1/1 for 1. Not that good generally, but there are obvious historical comparisons.
