mtg sleeves for double sided cards 50 Standard Card to Protect your Deck - Madelene Dragon loading design for secure and easy access Guildpact Series - Dual Matte

Life gain really isnt that powerful in a format where everyone starts with 40 life, and the difference between 3 and 4 mana is often huge, making this an excellent tradeoff (and a bit of consolation if you hit something of yours in the process)

Your opponents can still target your cards with ward, but their spells get countered unless they pay an extra price

drawing cards is absolutely fantastic, but if a player only has one more card than you, even if you're able to blink this a bunch, it might plateau out
