Maybe its worth just playing to have removal in the command zone, but I want more than that out of an eight-mana creature
Rapunzel & Flynn Ryder, Unlikely Pair Emerald & Steel This is another of my top picks when it comes to artwork, and it helps that Tangled is just a fantastic film, too
Keening Stone does the same, although it's significantly more expensive to play
Ostracize was always either OK or terrible and Despise has a slightly improved all round range but not enough to make it generally playable
Id be more excited about them if they didnt all have the secret last step and then win with Thassas Oracle, but maybe you can find a more interesting way to win after turning your deck upside down
You make a creature that can make Treasures, you draw cards, and then you finally get a creature that can copy another creature for a turn
