The artifact sits around for a bit before craft comes online

For a 10 year old, then number of times I had lost a game when if I just had one more turn, I would have won, was innumerable

This unassuming two-mana enchantment not only offers the same baseline effect as Felothar, but with the added ability to pay three mana and give creatures you control +0/+1 until end of turn thus making their toughness even larger and inching you closer to Betors biggest payoff of draining each opponent for half their life total, if creatures you control have total toughness 40 or greater

It fits my definition of potentially making more mana than it costs, but its dependent on your opponents discarding a specific type of card

It stops your opponent from playing spells with even CMCs, and if they control any creatures with even CMCs, then they can't block (and your opponent wouldn't be able to play any more of them anyway)
