This little cat can give Bristly Bill, Spine Sower a run for its money when it comes to distributing and doubling counters
(I will point out that the idea of bringing back all the old mechanics at once was innovative, but once again, that is execution not content.) During Tempest design, we came up with a series of cards that you could choose, if they were in your library, to draw one less card and put them into your opening hand(don't ask how this would work in the ruleswe never got that far)
As you can see, your six mana gives you a good sized, hard to answer on curve 7/6 dork with hard ward with sacrifices of legendary stuff only, like your Commander
If youre self milling in any way, this is trivial to flip
My mind always goes to zombies and vampire decks when I think of Black creature decks
Rest easy, old friend
