Manaphy is my preferred starter here as attaching the energy to refresh the hand isnt actually that counter productive to the strategy of the deck at all due to you being able to Lost Burn it later on in the game
A single cycle of such spells might not cause a stir, but these moments of power creep seem to happen more and more as WotC has begun designing cards explicitly for use in Commander
Even if he is destroyed by battle, he can steal the monster, but his ATK is low on this card, so it may be dangerous
Its a 2/1 body for just 1 mana that will totally screw with Tarmogoyf and Snapcaster Mage (2 of the most played cards in the format)
WotC unbanned five cards: Gifts Ungiven, Sway of the Stars, Braids, Cabal Minion, Coalition Victory, and Panoptic Mirror
