Not including the static ability ones from War of the Spark that only had one minus ability, only Ajani, Caller of the Pride, Gideon Blackblade, Teferi, Time Reveler, and Vivien, Champion of the Wilds have at least 4 starting loyalty

Triggering cards that care about you drawing cards three times and putting four cards into the graveyard for is incredibly efficient for decks that care about those things

Sure, I get it, theres artifact payoffs in the set, but the impact this has on the board will be pretty meaningless about 99% of the time, and the times where it gives you an actual card worth of value will be even rarer

But I can tell you that Ive felt a lot safer as a control player knowing I have access to these flexible counterspells in my sideboard

Nothing going on
