Thats really the only question on the amount of play Abrade will see, how much Harnessed Lightning will hold it back
Unfortunately, I didnt realise that unlike Force of Will, you cannot cast it via the alternative cost on your turn, so I decided to draw for my turn first to see which card I wanted to pitch to the Force, only to then try to cast it and have my opponent point it out to me and call a judge
That didn't stop Cloak from being the common most likely to bring joy to little kids beating down with their enhanced creatures, but we will never know how much play this card might have had if the standard green mana curves of the time hadn't included token generators and untargetables
Unlike Secrets of Strixhaven 's colleges, which were tied to particular two-color pairings and a certain kind play style, the sets designers have no real template to follow here, leading to some genuinely unique designs something you cant always say after over 30 years of Magic
