After the Scars of Mirrodin block introduced metalcraft, another artifact-related mechanic, the affinity decks started to add metalcraft cards like Mox Opal, Carapace Forger, Etched Champion, and Galvanic Blast
A bit of life and a nice cheap little defensive body which does a lot of work against aggressive red openings and can often be the difference between a win and a loss
I think there is a bias surrounding any cards perceived to be OP that they are the reason the result went that way when loads of "weaker" cards would have done the same thing or even completely different cards used earlier in the game already decided it
It almost made me want to compete myself to win additional tickets, but I love my Beast playmat and know my skills lie more with Disney Villainous, which was offered as a side event on day two of the tournament
It stands out from the rest thanks to a ton of unique digital-only cards that often have random effects, manipulate your deck in ways that you wont be able to otherwise, and the ability to just make cards appear from thin air
