That alone is pretty much enough to offset the card disadvantage
Chuck something big in your discard, then play Chip N Dale Recovery Rangers, Maleficent Monstrous Dragon, or Triton Champion of Atlantica to stay on theme
Each time he manages to successfully banish a character in a challenge, all your other characters can generate an extra lore during the turn
Each pack contains random cards from MTG sets throughout the history with the below breakdown: 10 Commons, 3 Uncommons, 1 Rare or Mythic, 1 foil (can be a common, uncommon, rare or mythic), 1 basic land and 1 token
Target characters that could combo with items, and try not to let your opponent get much Lore early
I even considered printing full art basic land, but you can normal lands on Amazon for under $0.05/card if youre getting them in bulk and I didnt need the extra bling
