Tens of millions of players around the world play Magic: The Gathering , the first (and one of the most popular) trading card games out there
The Saga also allows you to tutor up the main deck's singleton copies of Pithing Needle or Shadowspear to deal with specific problems, or any of the one mana problem-solving artifacts in the deck's sideboard that you might have swapped in for the second game of a match
Letting you get back a key card mid-late game and taking over in topdeck mode, all while not being a zero played on curve
Casting this on turn one is an easy way to set yourself up for a great start to the game
You can also protect your creatures from board-wipes with Rootborn Defenses, and the deck includes a surprising amount of card-draw, so you can rebuild after a Wrath
Even without it, the choice between an effective 4-mana threat or free disruption would have made this a fantastic card
