On the first turn, as I explained the rules of placing ink and exhausting it to play characters, there was some confusion around card values and which characters could be put into the inkwell
But Zell's ability has a drawback
While this card is now iconic and common in sets, the limited D23 copies are still extremely valuable
With 003-091-ursula-deceiver-of-all doubling songs and 002-089-prince-john-greediest-of-all really putting the hurt with every discard, Emerald Steel promises a lot of card advantage, especially with an unanswered 004-070-diablo-devoted-herald
It would be powerful enough just to cheat free creatures into play, but putting them in tapped and attacking makes this a lethal commander that overwhelms the table with just a few combat steps
Even without that level of nonsense, its hard to make a commander that so thoroughly cheats on mana costs fair
