I find the history of it interesting and I cant imagine many changes have happened due to the effect they have on the database
Aside from being incredibly powerful, especially when paired with cards like Yusri, Fortune's Flame or Stitch in Time, this is a great way to reference Edgar's double-sided coin
Something they saw coming
Imagine the following starting hand: Mountain, Forest, Forest, Dragons Fire, Improvised Weaponry, Hoarding Ogre, Owlbear A fine hand for a classic midrange deck
This wasnt an issue of artificial price inflation from top-heavy listing data, either
And the card has since been erratad to be clearer in how the whole thing works, with its power and toughness considered 1 plus twice the number of age counters instead of last paid cumulative upkeep. None of this is interesting
