The main draw of this new set is the fact that it includes the return of the beloved Owner's Pokmon feature, which will allow players to utilize the various monsters that have been utilized by their favorite iconic characters
But having Shock, Raise Dead, Rampant Growth, or Preordain stapled to a Scry 2 when I am looking to sculpt my draws later offers more card advantage than most players would have known what to do with in 1993
Its also a solid card for prowess decks, especially if you want players to take Monastery Mentor seriously
2B is a reasonable mana cost allowing it to be played in three-color decks, and its 3/2 body is perfect for applying early pressure or early defense as soon as turn two thanks to Gilded Goose or Llanowar Elves, while still being relevant later in the game thanks to its escape ability
Its role isnt flashy, but it is clutch
