Despite blues typical strategy of control and spell-based interaction, it has some of the most powerful and format-defining creatures in the game
As the format is designed around big plays, players start with 40 life instead of the usual 20
Narod's ability doesn't actually change any creature's power
For example, take Unwind: This "no mana" mechanic that debuted in Urza's Block came to dominate every tournament from Vintage and Legacy to Pauper, and has been used abusively to make mana with cards like High Tide or the Urzatron, as well as to rack up lethal storm counts
Maybe its because my prerelease box was Green/Blue, so Ive come to love that pairing for this set, but this deck is an awful lot of fun to play because its Commander, Zimone, Infinite Analyst, is an excellent engine
