Some of these cards, especially from Amonkhet block, are even useful against exile effects like Farewell
If you can't put -1/-1 counters on Devoted Druid (due to an effect such as that of Solemnity), you can't activate its second ability
While you will need real, authentic Magic cards for tournament play, anything goes for kitchen table and casual play
You want stat-boosting permanents on the battlefield as quickly as possible such as Soulcatcher's Aerie, Murmuration, and especially Coat of Arms which is the best typal-based stat boosting permanent in the game
To its detriment it's a sorcery, which places it further down this list than another draw X cards blue card-drawing card
On the other hand, if this is code for "everyone should be able to play tournament Magic with prize money on the line," then I disagree
