As well see in just a little bit, the set has a lot of caves, but still, getting your hands on enough to make the various Cave payoffs work is a little tricky something like Compass Gnome helps make that easier You always pay that first two mana and you play this card, so you always end up kind of behind when it comes to cards and how much mana you spend to draw cards Graveyard hate is really legit in this format, as keeping your opponent from being able to craft or take advantage of Descent is going to really matter, so I think a two mana 2/1 that hates on the graveyard is probably already kind of playable
