That alone should make it an easy inclusion

There is one in each of the five allied colour pairs, and two in each of the five enemy colour pairs: two Orzhov (white and black), two Izzet (blue and red), two Golgari (black and green), two Boros (red and white), and two Simic (green and blue)
Dromokas Command and Anguished Unmaking kept my opponents Always Watchings and Gryffs Boons at bay in Mono-White Humans, and I even was able to outpace an opposing Abzan deck, that one focusing on planeswalkers and sweepers
