However, they can also become a road to boring battles without tactics, tension, and emotions
The reason is that I have included Blood Moon in my Top Five, a card which has not been picked by other others
Not impressive by any means, but keepable
It becomes a 3/3 when its blocked, which can easily destroy opponents creatures that are 1/1s and 2/2s
About five years ago, those types of cards were much better since cubes were slower, but with many cubes adopting aggressive strategies and getting more efficient removal options, things like the Vindicate test (where you get an effect out of it if the creature dies at sorcery speed, so Consecrated Sphinx passes that test) hamper its effectiveness, but it does protect itself well if you are able to untap with it since you can turn just about any blue card into a counterspell or draw card
