Beautiful poster with Eeveelutions
You had to find a way to buff damage high enough to kill in two to three hits (Blackblade Reforged was a huge pickup back in the day!), you had to find Protection and Haste for your Commander as it was definitely going to be removed 3 or more times in a game, and you had to do this with comparatively limited access to card draw and ramp, at least compared to today, and at least if you werent playing Rafiq or someone else with green and blue
With this costing less and being value rather than a closer when compared to Purphoros you are far less precious about it and are happy to expose it to exile creature removal in order to get into combat with it
