Hakbal of the Surging Soul is a ridiculously good value engine
It's only drawback came from the mana costs on both sides of the card: you either got the Hoodwink of countermagic or an overcosted Dark Banishing
The upside to these is that they will have minimal impact on the rest of the board (except for Displacement Wave or Ratchet Bomb), but theyre not without their drawbacks
While we don't know if this will continue, these cards have added a meaningful amount of extra value to Secret Lairs so far
While there should always be options for this, it basically allows you to break the rule of one card in your Commander deck, and because its an Artifact, it can go in any deck
You want this card in your arsenal, but perhaps more importantly, if you dont have it, youre falling behind from the opening turns
