Decks can be sorted in folders and sub-folders, which is super important to a brewer like me whos frequently categorizing decks into different subjective groups
And play lots of games!
Right around turn 5, or even earlier if you are playing cheap cards, the game can devolve into drawing one card, and playing the one card you just drew
While the variance can mean whiffing a bit, there are ways and decks capable of doing such things
The call here was that while there are a lot of places where the card needed to be modified into a vertical aspect, being horizontal was an important part of the identity of battles, and it helps communicate just how unique this new permanent is
Last but not least, there are cards that are clues without being tokens , like Scene of the Crime (which is also a land), Tangletrove Kelp (which is also a creature), or Five Hundred Year Diary
