Card not found, on the other hand, was a stable in some of the most powerful decks of the time in Standard, meaning that it was miserable enough to be banned a year after its initial printing, which isnt even that notable, because there were so many bans around this time, because WotC had completely lost their grasp on Standard, which we are still feeling today
Though maybe a touch too much mana for an aggressive white deck to muster in Standard, Halvar can do a lot of work in Commander in equipment decks
At the same time, this card probably has the most utility outside of Infect, because plenty of other counters would love a repeatable source of proliferation
Its a mono red, group hug deck that freely gives resources to the whole table, with the primary aim being to accelerate the game and reveling in the chaos that ensues
Its built around a simple but powerful theme of putting +1/+1 counters on your creatures
So, heroes, gather your party and journey with me on this creative deep dive behind the crafting of this legendary set
