Back way when, Wizards didn't really make sure that there were ENOUGH playable limited cards in the common slots for sets (no one was playing much limited before the inception of the Pro Tour, around the release of Ice Age ), so horribly unplayable cards like Snowfall and Balduvian Shaman glutted the common slots of packs - and commons are where most of the meat of your limited cardpool comes from
Times where it can be good are with Valduk, Keeper of the Flame (see below) or if youre aggressive enough and have historic synergies such as DAvenant Trapper to play off of
From the Mind Flayarrrs CLB Commander precon to the twisted characters of Gollum and Sauron in Tales of Middle-earth , and even the horrific haunted house world of Duskmourn , its a fact that EDH players love to build weird typal decks no ones focusing on, and horrors can fit that horrific desire
I think of this card as a self-mill option that can sometimes give me a good value in a later stage
Death by Affection Hugs is just one of the handful of legendary creatures previewed to us from Bloomburrow , and it was this big guy that jolted me back into July and out of September (I am way too excited for Duskmourn: House of Horror )
