and Vile Bile are relics of Un-sets of days of yore, but I might actually run a Commander deck around It Came from Planet Glurg
This commander sets up ugly board states where you have a Bitterblossom trigger in your upkeep, some planeswalkers that make something during your main phase, a Veteran Soldier in combat, and youre suddenly drawing 10 cards a turn while presenting a lethal strike force

Ideally, you should mark these cards in some way, like with a coin or paper clip, so you don't accidentally lose one after the duel
Though no Mint Alpha Black Lotus has appeared at auction this year, a BGS 6 Alpha Black Lotus set a new record for the grade and for an autographed copy of the card signed by Magic: The Gathering creator Richard Garfield when it sold in April 2021 for $72,000
