I wouldnt argue that Orzhov Racketeers is better than any of the aforementioned cards, but they do all belong to the same value-producing family
Its difficult to apply a unified standard of reference to cards that vary as much as Elvish Archdruid, Kami of Whispered Hopes, and Selvala, Heart of the Wilds
The card does remain a decent Commander option, capable of destroying the scariest threat on board while returning a resource upon death
Each of those, cards, individually -- would be almost unplayable
Its unlikely youll ever face the same person again, unless you share a code with each other
The initiative was such a strong mechanic that certain cards that granted it were banned because they were too effective
