FINAL FANTASY: WHITE Clerics get good support out of the gates with Aerith Gainsborough and Minwu, White Mage
A card that is highly valuable today may lose value in the future
Between these and cards like Coastal Piracy, Reconnaissance Mission, and Ohran Frostfang, we should have no issue keeping our hand full of more threats, removal, and disruption until we can finish off our opponents
FromTheShire: Seems like a big cost and a relatively large hoop to jump through to potentially get nothing, or at least nothing impactful
However, we can trace its approximate origins back to this card: To my knowledge, Core Set 2015 's Goblin KaboomistGoblin Kaboomist is the first card to create expendable, noncreature artifact tokens with a minimal effect on the game (this is the part where commenters slay me with an obscure card from Homelands )
