While it has no immediate impact upon hitting the battlefield, when you start attacking, you put a +1/+1 token on each attacking creature
Then the -2, which can be done twice with the starting loyalty of five, will make two 1/1 Nightmare tokens that will grow with +1/+1 counters permanently if you exiled a card this turn
Vazi and Mari are at least more cohesive, with the former being a perfect Pillowfort commander and the latter supporting not one, not two, but three obscure types (not to be confused with Obscura)
In one match I faced an army of flying horses
Pretty Naya stuff going on with this deck, but the backup ability does offer some flexibility and with a whopping 40 creatures to target with that ability, we are sure to get something done with this deck
This is thanks to Rafiq giving both +1/+1 and doublestrike to any creature that attacks alone
