Getting an additional upkeep step can't be ignored, as this is where you'll be removing time counters
This is a game-changer for the European grading market
Vedalken Shackles is amazing in any deck with a high island count (not just basics)
I already gushed about Wayta, Trainer Prodigy, but I also want to highlight Bronzebeak Foragers as a solid disruption creature similar to Grasp of Fate, as well as Progenitor's Icon, a new mana rock that generically slots into just about any typal deck
You may play lands, and cast spells from that players hand this turn. This is on a five mana Esper 3/3, so the cost and body arent great, but if you want to make sure you lose a game of Commander before you even get to do anything, have this as your main card
