Ironically, Altar of Dementia happened to be reprinted alongside one of the most broken MTG cards the game has ever seen, making the Altars early entry into Modern a very impactful one
Not only were you able to watch the auction live, but the card itself was pulled from a collector booster during the now-former owner's stream
Either way, one thing is very clear: Ulamog's hungry
It makes it a different card, and when decks have good reason to both be in these colors and look for good men, the Monk will be here
In an effort to streamline this effect a bit and make it a ton easier to track, Baner of Kinship has you pick a creature type when it comes into play, then add a fellowship counter to it for each creature you control of that type
It costs an extra wingding to equip, sure, but the buff it provides to its user keeps increasing, and creating creature/lands means it has the chance at opening up a bunch of synergies that Sword of the Animist does not provide
