The Great Henge isnt at its best here, but as The Party Tree box topper, it still is likely to cost 4 mana or so in the mid-game and provide card advantage, mana ramp and consistent life gain
Four mana is fairly steep by modern MTG standards, but youll struggle to find an artifact hate card that has more potential upside, and is more underplayed, than this one
Challenging If you want to interfere with an opponent who's doing an awful lot of questing, challenging is the way to go
This explosive scaling rewards aggressive sequencing and mirrors the high-ceiling play patterns seen in some of the best partner commanders in MTG , where momentum compounds quickly once combat connects
This thing is slow, but boy -- it is going to win you the game if you get to use it even twice
Compare this to commonly played three mana removal spells like Generous Gift - that leaves behind much bigger 3/3 but can smoke lands too (Ditto Beast Within)
