It also includes the term "nonlegendary", but it certainly cuts down how many cards you'll need to evaluate
Its still powerful despite there being a better option, and its sitting on the sidelines if Breach ever gets the banhammer
This wasnt an issue of artificial price inflation from top-heavy listing data, either
And the card has since been erratad to be clearer in how the whole thing works, with its power and toughness considered 1 plus twice the number of age counters instead of last paid cumulative upkeep. None of this is interesting
I find the history of it interesting and I cant imagine many changes have happened due to the effect they have on the database
