      idk so far escape cards are weak and overcosted because they assume escape is worth something. Escape won't matter if the card is unplayable. did bone dragon see play? it was basically just an escape card

    I would highly recommend to use Instant and Sorcery cards without the Jump Start mechanic, Saga Enchantments, and even using Creature Cards like Shock for example, to unleash even more devastation with the Escape mechanic, as long as you don't have cards that put cards from the graveyard to anywhere else that does not exile, unless you have the God Creature cards from War of the Spark. I would hope that this tip will be highly useful for you to understand involving the Escape mechanic.
