It isnt just a pre-requisite to cast your commander, it's also how you can make up for the fact that the non-bomb cards in this deck are often mediocre ways to ping each opponent for 1 damage
Standard suffered under Teferi, Time Raveler, Commander got new nightmares from Wheels + Narset, Parter of Veils, Karn the Great Creator was turning every format with a sideboard into a free sweep, and Ugin was closing out games with any deck that could stomach the 6 mana cost
In Paradox Rift , the pull rate for Hyper Rares was 1 out of 82 packs, but in previous Scarlet & Violet sets, this was 1 in approximately 54, which is far more common than Temporal Forces ' whopping 1 in 139 rate
This is where the hardest ask of the keyword design process was, where I wanted it so every pair has a card in the shared colours that rewards both pair parts for their mechanic but isnt obviously great for everyone else
