Cards that Mayael might like in HOD:
Crested Sunmare
Chaos Maw
Hour of Devastation
Neheb, the Eternal (Yeah, it's only 4 power, but that mana...)
Hour of Promise
Overcome
Sifter Wurm
Uncage the Menagerie
Samut, the Tested
Leave // Chance
Struggle // Survive
Rampaging Hippo is also an option, but more for the "It has power 5 or greater, and if you don't have enough mana, you can just cycle it." than any real reason for using it.

Doesn't prove me wrong about the rest, though. Makes it a meta call.
*dual form
I kinda have to debate if it's Swords, though. For color pie reasons, it only affects attacking creatures, which is a huge downside in this format.
Praetors are definitely cards you want to cheat into play. Thankfully, she's black, so you'll think of something. It's like how I don't normally use Reya Dawnbringer except in my Kaalia deck.
It can also be used with Lotus Bloom to set up the Sun Titan combo. But mostly besides those two things I use it for utility.
No one likes "flavor fonts" except marketing people. And try reading white on white.
Anyway, I like this one. I do. Mostly because it doesn't enter tapped, it has cycling (which means I can exploit it with Sun Titan or [card}Crucible of Worlds[/card], or a Life from the Loam loop, or just use it for delirium and threshold), and I just think it's neat.
I remember when they introduced Shandalar as the plane the Chain Veil was from, thinking of the 90s Batman movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Uma Thurman (you know, the bad one) and how they referenced Aunt Harriet, of all the obscure bits of Batman lore to bring up. But I'm sure the chain veil plot will go somewhere, right? No. Not really.
Anyway, this is kinda meh. I can't help but think that 99% of the time, Kamahl, Pit Fighter is better.
Nope. Reflection tokens were before they regularly printed tokens. Unglued had a few tokens, but they were soldier, goblin, zombie, squirrel, sheep, and pegasus.
By the way, another card really fun with this is Mirror Entity, for the same reason. It's definitely a Johnny card, and not one I would expect to turn into a weapon of mass destruction.
Three of its four modes (and you pick two) are card parity, so when you choose two of those, you get card advantage. (And of course, some lifegain decks might have something that turns lifegain into card draw, though it might be a bit much to include Necropotence in this deck, though you can just Rector/Replenish it.)
There's also the "cheap" Rifts, Evacuation, Sunder, Reduce to Dreams, Hurkyl's Recall, Upheaval, Whelming Wave, Inundate, Coastal Breach, Crush of Tentacles...
And of course, playing this right after dropping MLD is fun.
Purphoros, God of the Forge is fun with Panharmonicon if you have creatures that make tokens when they enter, e.g. Deranged Hermit. (That does a total of 36 damage to all your opponents.)
Both are potentially useful in Nekusar, the Mindrazer, but there, Reliquary Tower is mostly to Windfall everyone to death.
False Demise was also a thing in the very next set after Funeral March, but I think he was more used for just, Legends was really the game's first art house set. (Well, maybe Alpha/Beta/Unlimited...) Half the cards don't really make sense in modern Magic.
Using him with Fool's Demise and False Demise might be cute. If only so you can sing
When Pharaoh's around
Then you get down on the ground
If you ever find yourself near Ramses
Get down on your knees
(Great, of all the cards to make me think of a musical, the RNG has to give me one from Andrew Lloyd Weber.)
