The easiest way to determine if your deck belongs in bracket four or five is that four is an optimized commander deck, while five is a deck you would bring to a tournament with the intention to win
While youll pay a heavy cost for the effect, it creates a swing by keeping key threats offline for an entire turn cycle, similar to strategic Yu-Gi-Oh
This means that you get your cards whether it dies, is sacrificed (which is also dying, but can sometimes differentiate other triggers), is exiled, or is returned to your hand
While attacking with your creatures or using artifact abilities is certainly the most natural way to get them to maximize their token-making potential, you can also combine them with mechanics that give you additional ways to tap your creatures
Fans adore this card for its simple yet devastatingly effective ability
