mtg commander deck themes Theme vs Utility Magic: The Gathering Foundations Commander

It shows how little the designers understood the game they had created that this card - which lets you draw three cards for one mana - was assumed to be roughly as powerful as Giant Growth, Lightning Bolt, Dark Ritual, or (of all things) Healing Salve

Permanently exiling a creature you control asks for trouble, though Im opening to being too low on this out of fear

Some have flooded entire towns

Loxi: It's a lot of stats, if you have Commanders that scale really well with getting more stats and need a boost it might be nice to have, although I don't think I'm really jumping on this for regular equipment decks

Blue has a lot of cards offering to draw cards for a relatively cheap mana cost

Probably the biggest downside in comparison to Mother of Runes is that the card cannot target itself, otherwise, I'd say it's mostly upside compared to one of Magic's most famous moms
