Some stories are more important than a single game loss
(6/7/2024) If a card with escape is put into your graveyard during your turn, you'll be able to cast it right away if it's legal to do so, before an opponent can take any actions.
Depending on when you play this card, you can make a tiny critter a five-damage swing, or you can keep Dreadful as the Storm in your hand until blockers are declared as a neat combat trick
Its not the best sword, but it has a few more applications than Body and Mind
Right now it's getting some love from both commander and modern players
I didnt think For ten mana, this card exiles half of an opponents library, gets at least three +1/+1 counters (going by average mana values), making it a 10/10 most of the time when it enters with a Ward - Annihilator 2 level of built-in protection, and, again, likely Annihilator 3 if you exile at least a permanent card with a mana value of three from half your opponents deck (again, this is being conservative)
