It lets us both shortcut to expensive effects like Bone Miser and Skirge Familiar or rebuild with them after a board wipe, when our other synergies might be temporarily turned off
Tempest , however, was the first set to return to the effect in blue, with this beautifully illustrated card with terrific Rocky Horror -themed flavor text
I also wanted something villainous for instants and sorceries, and it just so happened that there were flashback sequences featuring Kefka and Sephiroth, two of the villains we were excited to show on multiple cards in the set
Its still clearly an aggressive deck, but it often builds incremental advantages in board presence via equipment (rather than trying to win as fast as possible)
