What makes him even better is that any deck of any type and playstyle can benefit from him
I promptly played Swords to Plowshares to make sure that the Battlerager wouldnt become a threat
But in Standard, if you play with four Arid Mesas in any deck but Boros Bushwhacker (which itself is quite quick to the quick), you have to play with more than four Mountains-plus-Plains to reliably not get thrown off the Island math-wise, if you take my reality show meaning
Best Otter Payoffs Were here for the spells, in any format, whether thats a Commander deck helmed by Alania, Divergent Storm or Bria, Riptide Rogue, or a Standard Izzet prowess deck highlighting Stormcatch Mentor and perhaps Ral, Crackling Wit
Ikra Shidiqi, the Usurper isnt from Witherbloom, but its ability to gain life from combat damage plays perfectly with this strategy
Is there anything missing that I need to execute my plan
