    Pitiless Pontiff on Arena was in this fun spot where it was not good enough to be on the radar, which meant an unreasonable amount of times, they used a removal spell on it, letting me just sac a worse creature of my choice, leading to an extended time actually reading the card.

    Ravnica Allegiance was such a fun limited format.

Now both that Rhythm and Hellkite live in my Gruul commander deck. Good times.
