I mean...It could work to buy an aggressive deck an additional turn or two? But so often the play pattern is going to end with this being bounced/destroyed EoT and then the opposing deck takes over and/or wins. I'm not writing it off, but this effect has been around for, literal, decades. Each and every iteration suffers from the same flaw. We'll see, but, for example, against Storm in Modern, they still play Electromancer on 2 and still have plenty of ways to bounce this and still kill on 3. Against Infect, you need to be able to layer removal just as much, or more, as they need to layer pumps. I dunno. Color me skeptical.
