Given how easy it is to create the Darkstar token and that it doesnt cost any additional mana, Rufus Shinra is a great card for giving you continual fodder for your sacrifice outlets, but also just for good board presence
In Constructed, where you build from a vast card pool, raw power is king
Knight Exemplar makes your board harder to wipe, Haakon, Stromgald Scourge lets you cast knights from the graveyard, Knights' Charge drains and rebuys knights, and Herald of Hoofbeats helps your team connect for that reanimate trigger
There are also premium versions of every card with holographic foil, randomly inserted into some boosters in place of a common, which replace about one in seventy cards
Add toxic and proliferate on top of that and you have a great card
