Basically, we're okay with a few cards that put +1/+1 counters on creatures but we tend to avoid more complicated versions (such as 0/0 creatures that come into play with +1/+1 counters) at common, although we're more willing to do something like that if there are a number of cards dedicated to a certain theme ( Darksteel 's modular, I'm looking at you)
I would mulligan aggressively for fast, resilient hands that can cast a Turn 2 Etched Champion
Part of me doesn't want to fall into the nostalgic trap of thinking Magic had an essence that is now being lost, but the other part knows if Wizards of the Coast is going to keep Universes Beyond legal in Standard, it could at least try harder to make the cards balanced
