Well, now that Ive played quite a few games with Blood Baron, I will say this much
Without synergies the card is narrower, less powerful, offers less utility and hurts you going forwards rather than aiding you
But that's just a fact of playing Colorless, you're stuck relying on artifacts to do anything
Fire Prophecy + Volcanic Spite + Manhole Missile Fire Prophecy and Manhole Missile are damage spells that draw a card (its too loud in here to hear a Needle Drop pining to be let in)
Next, we'll think about ways to actually build our deck to make Burn's job harder
Another observation is that the fake cards have more vibrant colour in their printing process, possibly because the technology today is simply too good and cannot replicate the old processes of an old card like Flooded Strand from Onslaught
