So it's not that unbalanced in my experience, but the opportunity to draft a dud deck is greater than most other Standard sets
the cost of other token payoffs like Anointed Procession, Doubling Season, and Parallel Lives
As for Standard, I played Damnation in my comeback tournament, Regionals 2007
I once played a game where I ignored an attack by Pharika, God of Affliction, Wingmate Roc, the bird token, Siege Rhino, and several 1/1 deathtouch snakes for several turns in a row by just (massively) outpacing it with lifegain
When to use it: When NOT to use it: This judgment, what to protect and what to let through, is what makes Blackbeard the highest-skill-ceiling leader in OP-16
Pramikon is actually one of the first decks I built for Commander, and we'll be making a tooled up version of my original, stupid, Wall kindred list that can actually win games
