cards like exploration mtg (retro)- Artist Proof Its an artifact creature at 8+.) STATION 3+ You may play an additional land on each of your turns Valakut Exploration MTG - Zendikar

Who am I to say one way or another

Paying 2 generic mana to draw one card isnt going to feel amazing, but things very quickly snowball from there

Additionally, you can run other prison effects like Sphere of Safety and Ghostly Prison and cards that reward you for gaining life like Vito, Thorn of the Dusk Rose

We also have several other cards that search your library for artifacts like Tribute Mage, Trinket Mage, and Spellseeker

Last are plenty of creatures that flicker or return other creatures to your hand when they enter the battlefield, which means you can chain some abilities and really get things moving

While some creatures like Skyclave Apparition and Witch Enchanter can be used as situational removal, the deck has efficient, low-cost non-creature spells like Path to Exile or Abrade to handle early threats
