When the next restricted list announcement rolled around, a pretty unheard of number of cards were simultaneously added to the Vintage Restricted List: Crop Rotation Doomsday Dream Halls Enlightened Tutor Frantic Search Grim Monolith Hurkyls Recall Lotus Petal Mana Crypt Mana Vault Mind Over Matter Mox Diamond Mystical Tutor Tinker Vampiric Tutor Voltaic Key Yawgmoths Bargain Yawgmoths Will This list included most of my deck (every card but Force of Will, Defense Grid, and City of Brass would end up restricted at some point), as well as lots of other cards that were part of other broken decks that were feared to be the next to rise up
Control Magic effects and threaten effects like Act of Treason can steal commanders as well
They are important for decks that want to play multiple colors, such as three-color or even five-color strategies
The Phyrexian Angel will naturally be in decks that want some Battle in play for its effects, even if they don't interact directly with it
this gives me scope to form a decent core, but it means each module will be 40 cards, which is plenty to build a unique identity
Blue has plenty of other illusions like Phantasmal Image to help buff Minns tokens
