If you're playing a lot of small creatures, or maybe a commander like Adeline, Resplendent Cathar , then you'll find a lot of opportunities to draw cards - you might even be able to draw cards on opponents' turns with a bit of creativity
Plus youll get a huge bonus if you play a zombie deck
Going through this list, there are going to be two different types of card: those that are at their most powerful in small formats due to either raw power level or to pushing out other options, and those that are most powerful in larger formats where synergies allow them to be pushed to their fullest potential

Though Mushu may be small in stature, that doesn't mean his card lacks abilities, as he can be good support for other character cards as long as he is in play
Clearly for nefarious purposes
