It has been literal years since I preordered a card
For just UU (two blue mana), this card can counter any target spell, and give you colorless mana equal to that spells cost at the start of your next main phase
Its a culmination of what my friends have taught me and what Ive learned teaching the format to others
Crim's deck even had Mana Drain, a $50 card in paper, while Richard's had a $80 Oboro, Palace in the Clouds, a $46 Sylvan Library, and a $52 Cloudstone Curio, all in a deck that cost less than $5 total
Cleric decks love aristocrat effects, and they also love large top end creatures like Villis, Broker of Blood, Sheoldred, Whispering One and Archon of Cruelty
Flamecache Gecko feels like it fits a Rakdos sacrifice deck in other formats, as well
