Currently Kingdoms of Intrigue is scheduled to release on 09/22/23 however this may be changed by Bandai
A 6 mana 2/2 is normally an awful rate, but nuking all artifacts and enchantments, then getting a +1/+1 counter for each adds up extremely fast
Being slow is what makes this card so fair, you are looking at a long time before it is worth the card cost, usually it needs to flip
The Cloud, Midgar Mercenary card also doesnt really fit the narrative here, but it does have deliberate synergy with the Buster Sword, allowing you to search your deck for an equipment card, and his abilities also double-trigger (kind of like the Double Cut materia!)
That said, when you pull them off in Commander, it's pretty spectacular
