A stealthy impostor Pikachu is something that many collectors are willing to pay top dollar for as it is unique, funny, and just plain adorable
It still sees play in equipment-themed Commander decks
Most players will run a ton of basics, which leaves plenty of room for cards like this to easily slot into existing decks
At common, we only included a handful of typal cards, and they all had a threshold of one, meaning that to optimize them, you only had to have one creature of that type on the battlefield
No one wins from being like that in my opinion, especially in a format like EDH the goal should be to grow the community and increase interest in the game, not shame someone because they alter a card or can't afford a Gaea's Cradle, it's for fun, and should be approached by all players that way
