Speaking of tokens, they are a form of creature that is more temporary
Karakas By September, 2008, Commander (it was still EDH back then) was seeing enough play around the world that format-level errata was no longer supportable
Not to mention that its a commander thats fairly easy to build, exploiting creatures with higher defense like 0/5s and 1/6s
Essentially, they can be reduced to: Lacking haste means she is vulnerable to removal and board wipes As a six-mana creature, she can be increasingly hard to keep in play Since she is capable of one-shotting an opponent, shes often a magnet for removal In my original build, I used cards like Bloodsworn Steward, Swiftfoot Boots, and Sword of Vengeance as extra ways to grant haste
Having fetches and shocks for that tiny period between M15 and "Huey" would not ruin standard
Theres quite a difference between normal and traditional foil variants of this card
