From Battle for Zendikar to Ixalan, every block has had at least some nod to white/black draining life (Dominaria has repeatable life loss, but no W/B drain card)

It is driving sustained moves on cards with permanently fixed supply, and the format is still in its early growth phase
As a FFXVI fan I'm personally excited to slot Ultima, Jill, Shiva's Dominant, and Joshua, Phoenix's Dominant into my Jeskai Shiko deck
The most aggressive versions of U/G Merfolk probably wouldnt want to play Seafloor Oracle, but a token version that is looking to play a longer game with Deeproot Waters and Jungleborn Pioneer could be looking toward this card for card advantage
Yeah, when you have a jackrabbit start against a creatureless deck and you can use this to get your guys back, its pretty good, but against a good chunk of the format, it either does nothing (no enters the battlefield ability) or helps your opponent out as well by giving them back a ton of good utility creatures
