But tying this game mechanic to something that looks suspiciously like Klan imagery is a huge misstep
Im trying to peer through depths here and see how Blade is meaningfully different than Rabbit Battery or Lion Sash in Cube, and its a struggle, so Im left to assume that the Blades lack of Standard play was the albatross
On one extreme, you can build a budget manabase for maximum speed by just playing basic lands
If you sacrifice it, you get to destroy an artifact, enchantment, or even proliferate, making it an excellent choice for counter-based decks
#7: Crystal Chimes Esper has a bunch of ways to bring back artifacts and enchantments from the graveyard, but many of the best ones bring them directly onto the battlefield, which doesnt trigger Alela
