Use Counterspells In some situations, it can feel futile to use a removal spell on a Planeswalker after your opponent has already benefitted from its abilities
Kabutops : From Dome Fossil to Kabuto and Kabutops, this Pokmon can use Leech Life, only requiring one energy, to deal 50 damage and heal it for the same amount of damage it dealt
Removal is quite good (though not as insane as it was at common seven years ago), but so are creatures (which feel like contemporary large common creatures)
So totally fine, but only in kindred decks
The 2-mana artifacts are at their absolute best in mono-colored decks, where their cost reduction applies to nearly all cards in the deck
As a new player, its worth opening a few packs from the newest set Secluded Springs before moving on to other sets
