The shadow of a giant's hand gives the scene a sense of action without distracting from the central figure, and a beautifully balanced color scheme makes the card a general pleasure to behold
Individual packs are better if you just want a small treat, a gift add-on or a quick pack opening
Then next we have your foe's exiling the top card of their library instead of their regular card flow and also have to cast it this turn so it might not ever hurt them if it's castable and not a reaction like Counterspell
Even if I have enough ink, sometimes Im out of cards to play, leaving some decks looking strong out of the gate only to taper off near the endgame
These are small differences but cumulate into a card Id hesitate to call strictly better, but it is the one Id prefer as my commander
I was sold on the 4/4 flying and haste, so definitely take this one highly
