The main drawback to these strategies is that gaining life doesnt impact the board, which can lead to a bunch of dead draws
Theres a lot of value in this 2-drop, Ill tell you that
Sealed Deck is great, but the best experience you can have in Limited Magic , in my opinion, is Booster Draft
The same is true for cards like Single/Rapid Strike Style Mustard, Tag Call or Ball Guy though with slightly larger groups of targets like these, its incredibly unlikely youll even be running every format-legal target in your deck so you can guarantee you wont put all possible targets into public zones
Opening sealed products adds a new layer of fun you won't get from buying the exact card you want, but it can end up being more expensive overall - the cost of all those duds adds up
With a little top deck manipulation, you can even steal the spells your opponents have already cast
