While the +1 is far less relevant in a deck that plays so few sorceries, being able to rebuild after a board wipe by returning your most powerful creatures back to your hand can give aggressive strategies additional reach
Its flexibility - providing ramp in controlling decks and a hard-hitting evasive creature in more aggro strategies - has allowed it to find a home among many of the best decks
And its going to take a while, you know, our timelines are not short, but were playing the long game. Other strategies Wizards is using to strengthen White is to give it more persistent and recurring threats that arent as vulnerable to the all-to-common board sweepers in Commander, as well as ways to protect those threats, and more ways to just win the game
But it offers much more than a linear strategy based on commander damage since Mazzy doesnt just buff themself
Downside: big files, and its not ideal for multi-page whole deck printing unless you like managing hundreds of files
