Level 1s a pretty hard pill to swallow, but the progression thereafter makes it pretty easy to get to level 3 using your renewable treasure mana
Not as threatening as its green counterpart, its Lord effect is at least a good supporting addition for the aggro theme it is built for
Then it's great when you've attacked with normal size dorks, they block to trade with your stuff or kill some, and then you cast this and make them all 1/1 and blow them out
I have a love-hate relationship with this card, since Ive enjoyed using it in quite a few decks, but its completely ruined other decks Ive tried to play when its used against me
You dont get a discount, but you do get the flexibility to cast Gonti first, then play Tasha, and have the stolen card ready to be cast
* Required I prefer a wide sleeve and usually cut one corner of the sleeve to make removing the card easier
