Nice in an aggro and card draw deck like this that is trying to drop its cards to get below the discarding of 7
Kaseto, Orochi Archmage, in my mind, is a solid example of what I believe we are currently missing in a Commander product cycle where the decks are tied to the Standard-legal product
I could see it as an interesting political element to a multiplayer Commander game as well
My research leads me to believe it was either Skaff or Jim that came up with the original flavor text (it was created in an Ice Age design meeting, and everyone's memory is a little fuzzy), but Darla Kennerud (one of the Magic editors at the time) came up with the idea of framing the line by having it be Hans's sister Saffi who said it, and it being her last words
If you control none of the three at that time, the ability won't resolve and you'll get nothing
This effect makes sure that youll always have cards in hand since you can build your deck to capitalize on sacrifice effects and death triggers
