I taught my wife how to play using these Starter Decks, and while the decks are synergistically simple, theyre not so watered down that every game feels the same
When this ETBs or attacks, you'll sac another permanent from tokens like Treasure and Goblins to mana rocks and more
There are some powerful synergy pieces you get access to in blue, like Titan of Littjara, Skystrike Officer, and Tobias, Doomed Conqueror, but I dont think this is the best build of soldier typal in Commander
The other thing I don't love about this is that it is just a big pile of stats
The 1st Edition cards could be used for the Pokmon Trading Card Game, but as noted earlier, even in 1999, kids were aware of the value of the Charizard card and most were opening booster packs to find this card rather than use the cards for the game
There is precedence for this in March of the Machine 's Praetors
