It's a ton of fun to play, bouncing Flickering Ward and Conviction back to hand, replaying on whatever target creature needs them, drawing a card, creating tokens, gaining life, do it all over again
They have a full, alternate art illustration of what can also be found as a standard card in their respective set, along with a textured, spectacular foil treatment that makes them look (and feel!) amazing
A good binder can still feel bland if its a basic black with nothing interesting
Any card that forces a raw deal on an entire table of players is just incredibly fun
When they think their exerted character forces an even trade with one of yours, you can use Maid Marian's Highborn Lady ability to Challenge them and keep your character alive
