Card selection, which doesnt put you up a card but allows you to make some choices about the cards you do draw, isnt quite as good, but it can become so if its easier and/or cheaper to use or if it synergizes, and it provides a discard outlet
Right now Im playing a playset even in Hammer Time, but I recollect playing this card in a lot of different archetypes, from UB control to Ad Nauseam, from Goblins to even Sultai Urza
Not only does Pre-War Formalwear bring back a useful utility creature, but it also gives them a solid stat boost and vigilance to make them a threatening attacker and blocker
Unlike those of PSA and BGS, ARS grading fees depend on the cumulative ungraded value of the cards submitted for grading
Either you get to start turning creatures face up, put +1/+1 counters on a creature, or you get to manifest dread with additional counters and trample
But theres a payoff there that synergizes well
