All the set needed was a couple Aura Shards / Phyrexian Metamorph / Rite of Replication-type cards per deck to solve the problem and flip the narrative surrounding the Commander 2018 decks
If your strategy involves whittling away your foes tick by tick, these are good places to look when deck-building
This card is a key component in the top deck of the format and is expected to remain pricey for some time
So this means were seeing what a lot of the cards will look like a lot earlier on than we have with more recent sets (the current Paradox Rift had cards appear internationally before some of their Japanese equivalents appeared), and today weve seen the Special Illustration Rare of the shiny Charizard
There's also a good number of removal spells (eight if you include several Vampires), board clears (Damn, Austere Command, and Olivia's Wrath), and ramp (eight with Master of Dark Rites)
Or just play the land tapped in the early game, hopefully with nice bounce land synergies
