You can make very convincing arguments that Drannith Magistrate and its ilk are too powerful for many casual decks, and I agree
But that's hard to make work and easy to disrupt with removal of the Commander himself or by the Anthems (Glorious Anthem), Auras (Rancor) or Equipment (Bonesplitter), and if you sweep you really break him with mass removal, and recasting a five cost is rough
Even when I have some obvious direction to take things, these ratings can catch subtle and unique connections between cards which might not otherwise come up
In decks like Korvold or Juri, Master of the Revue, theyll also contribute to your main strategy
