Can You Respond to the Legend Rule
Most players aim to double-spell on their turns at least, so you often get an extra card or two a turn cycle
As double-faced cards were a new thing (and thus required some player education for how to use them) and "dark transformation" was our theme, I felt it was important to only use transforming double-faced cards in original Innistrad block
It gets better in EDH decks that care about dealing excess damage, like in Toralf, God of Fury or Imodane, the Pyrohammer
The chances of this dropping to $5-$6 feel much lower than the chances of it going up to $10 or staying in the $8 range, so buying now seems like the right move
Past this point, all you need to win is some sort of draw engine that can amass 38 dragons into your hand
