From a commander standpoint, this thing is awful.why are the companion creature restrictions so rediculously bad?
Edit: I just read the design article, turns out they made all these creatures awful to stop cheaters. Great, so intentionally bad design, nice work!
It's also very possible that, considering how much this new set is clearly meant to emulate digital games like Hearthstone, they saw what Baku the Mooneater and Genn Greymane did to the standard meta. Both cards had to be retired only halfway through their expected lifespan, they were that impactful.
Note that it's each permanent, so still plenty of room for Lingering Souls in most WB modern archetypes. Is this enough of an excuse to not run Liliana of the Veil, though?
Well if you can't afford a playset of Lilly, you can always just buy one Lurrus as a budget alternative.
Actually, right now I'm thinking about Mardu Pyromancer. You'd have to forgo some of the current tool set with CMC > 2, but then you get to just re-cast Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger over and over again. Now whether that's a game winning play, I have absolutely no idea, but it sounds fun.
