Its why they dont like buyback or retrace: knowing the opponent is just going to slap down another slightly beefy creature and cast Rancor again in the next turn cycle makes your Murder feel a little worthless
Sometimes you gotta hit the right colors on Turn 2 and Turn 3, and if you arent using your mana on Turn 1, thats when you Fabled Passage to make it all work out
The card should be recognizable at first glance, shouldn't contain anything that could offend someone (naked females included) and shouldn't be misleading or giving information relevant to the game (for example Trinket Mage with Sensei's Divining Top painted on it is not in general considered tournament legal)
Casting 4-mana noncreature spells isnt easy: If they dont affect the board in a meaningful way, you often fall too far behind your opponent
I saw it randomly sitting in a case at my LGS and knew it was the perfect card for my deck
They then send them to me, I take them to the event, I get them signed, and I then send them back
