The primary upside of this over Howling Mine is obviously that you get to go first, which is kind of like making it a cantrip, but its also worth noting that given the phenomenally clunky nature of spells in Esper Control decks, this might just make a reasonable instant speed threat to play at the end of their turn
It works perfectly with cards like Underworld Breach, letting you loop spells from your graveyard for a fast win
The Leader, Purple-colored Shanks, is definitely one youll want to replace immediately
CGC also makes clear that, in order to determine the approximate value of a card, it will utilize Fair Market Value, which is the price CGC would reasonably expect the card to sell for at auction
