If you have a card that you think is particularly valuable, you may want to have it professionally graded
We've built our reputation on grading honestly since 1997 and have graded millions of games over nearly 30 years in business
Taking a random one-drop wont stop them from casting two more, and they have enough game-winners that discarding those is rough even when the spent mana doesnt just mean you lose to 1/1 beatdown
A copy in pristine condition has become extremely rare and highly sought after
Instead of iterating on an established and beloved cube, we were now essentially building three brand-new cubes, each of which would need their own artwork, text, design, and refinement
This card allows a player to destroy any permanent, whether its a game-ending enchantment like Smothering Tithe, a problematic land, or a high-loyalty planeswalker, at instant speed
