For example, Brago, King Eternal decks love Strionic Resonator so they'll run Lithoform Engine to also copy triggered abilities, but in the game they may also want to copy an activated ability like cracking a Flooded Strand for two lands, or copy Diluvian Primordial if they have four extra mana when they cast it
It's an inefficient sacrifice outlet but its activated ability is not what makes it useable
The Strix is a planeswalker killer and the difference between a Davriel, Rogue Shadowmage or Narset, Parter of Veils on an empty battlefield and one with a flier is immense
While we only have a couple cards to talk about today, they are rather beautiful
It also helps that this is an Azorius precon, meaning it only uses white and blue mana, keeping things simple for new players, but the volume of colorless cards also means you should never be short of cards to play, so long as you have mana on the board
Need a combo piece
