You just cant ignore a commander that turns Boltwave into a draw-9 or Fiery Confluence into a draw-18

Its name is functionally impossible to pronounce, it has no casting cost, when its played (by discarding it), it fetches a book from your deck, and it has an ability that sacrifices food to force creatures to hurt themselves
