This is the ultimate Johnny Card, practically daring brewers to search for its hidden power, and simultaneously, its the ultimate joke card the one 90% of players will cite as the worst card possible. Its important to have a card like that in the game, and while it was no doubt a terrible feeling to pull this from your first Saviors of Kamigawa booster pack, Id like to think the cool factor of a Zen Koan in Magic card form justifies its existence
It also has an incredibly powerful ability called Bye Bye, Now, that allows you to banish an exerted character with a Strength greater than five when it quests
When Zada, Hedron Grinder is targeted by one of your spells that only targets it, you get to copy that spell for each creature it can legally target
This is a historic moment for Standard, the largest single ban wave the format has seen in years, tying it for the second largest of all time
Theres a fine line between being deep enough to satisfy TCG players spoiled by decades of Magic: The Gathering mechanics, without throwing fans enchanted by Disney cards in at the deep end and watching them flounder
