Early 17lands data has picked out three mythic uncommons in Reality Fracture to watch prior to tonight’s Friday Night Magic events: Kiora of Fire and Ashes (62.3% game in hand win rate), Recursive Recruitment (62.4%) and Craftwork Crusher (62.9%).

For the unfamiliar, the term “mythic uncommon” is reserved for uncommon cards in Limited formats with impact similar to the format’s best rares. The only cards with win rates exceeding these uncommons are bombs like Denzilore Fatehold (63.5%), Overwrite the Multiverse (66.3%), and several others. While format data fluctuates over time, these are all high picks worth snagging if you see them early.

Kiora of Fire and Ashes (62.3%)

Kiora of Fire and Ashes starts strong with great numbers: 7 power and toughness across two bodies, much of which flies, is excellent. The Dragon token alone is nearly worth 6 mana, but the second body can’t be underestimated.

Reality Fracture is a slow enough format that the mana activated ability on Kiora isn’t a pipe dream. Games can go long enough to squeeze a second Dragon from Kiora. That goes double for Konstrari decks built around Heartwood tokens and ramp. This puts your opponents in a tricky position: The 5/5 will kill them but they can’t just ignore Kiora.

Also, cards like Rescue Girl, First Responder and Unsummon are low-rarity cards that can bounce Kiora to reuse the enters ability.

Recursive Recruitment (62.4%)

Recursive Recruitment is a much grindier card. Like Kiora, it benefits from the format’s pace. Aggressive Limited formats wouldn’t lend time to play a 4-mana spell, then cast it again with flashback 4+ turns later. It’s also worth considering that this graveyard-based spell is extremely well supported.

Blue-black’s entire strategy is self-mill, with its prepared spell on cards like Paradox Shaper milling you. But the format’s emphasis on surveil and empower Jace makes the entire format graveyard-friendly. Recruitment is a fantastic card in these decks because milling or surveiling it is akin to drawing a card, and it means you have plenty of cards in the graveyard for later.

Another mark in Recruitment’s favor is how easily it can be splashed with single colored pips. Reality Fracture has excellent Limited fixing. A cycle of common duals, Room of Refuge, and a cycle of basic landcyclers mean a deck won’t have trouble finding a pip. It’s easy to imagine a blue+ deck that sneaks a few black lands into the deck and fuels it with surveil. Since it has flashback, you can even dump it into the graveyard until you find your color fixing without it rotting in your hand.

Craftwork Crusher (62.9%)

Craftwork Crusher is a simple card relative to the others because it doesn’t have many cool synergies and it’s very far from splashable. What it has are excellent numbers.

Grindy formats demand small edges and card advantage which, importantly, can come from more areas than just raw card draw. At any point in the game, the Crusher is a three-for-one. You get a massive creature plus two additional effects, whether that’s immediate impact on the board by killing a creature and/or making a token or the cantrip.

The Crusher also works well at any point in the game you can cast it. Is your opponent meaningful ahead on board? You get two creatures and kill something. Are you in a top deck war? Two creatures and a cantrip is probably enough gas to get over the finish line, or to break through a board stall. Sometimes Limited cards are good because they invite the drafter to sculpt clever synergies around them, but sometimes they’re just really big threats.
