We skip our draw step anyways with it, and at our upkeep we draw the difference from our hand to 7
There are plenty of great cards to snag, like Relic of Progenitus or Deafening Silence for stax or Nurturing Pixie to reset the Hulk
But they probably didnt realize the extreme power of the cards when printing them, a practice seen in modern power creep
The 1 mana rebate from Ur-Dragon makes this a considerably more worthwhile card to consider, as a 6 mana 4/4 haste, and adding the additional mana is good ramp for a deck with many expense cards in it (big surprise there)
Dragonite : The original A1 Dragonite could do major damage when sufficiently powered up
If you need board-wide double strike, True Conviction, Akromas Will, and Rage Reflection are all options Id prioritize if I had no use for the tutor effect
