But wait, you might think, people dont play expensive spells in older formats! And youre generally correct but you know what they do play
The front side is an okay burn spell, slightly better if youre running dragons, and Defiant Thundermaw can be a very effective attacker
If you didnt pick one up from the Eldraine Brawl decks yet, Id advise giving it a go
Since Dovin, Grand Arbiter gets loyalty fast, it's not uncommon to trigger the effect multiple times, a rarity for planeswalker cards
People arent generally going to be playing many stax pieces or hatebears at more social tables (and I use that word purposefully) because they sometimes lead to a more staccato game experience
Their compact size makes them portable but less practical for extended gameplay
