About any "subpar" mechanics or cards: Context is king.
If I make a templating or grammar error, let me know.
The franchise MtG most resembles is Battlestar Galactica. Why? Its players exist in, at most, a dozen different models at any given point in time, with perhaps up to 3% variation, 5% if you're lucky.
When you set this scheme into motion, choose a musical band. Each opponent must name a different song from that band. Any opponent that cannot, or repeats another player, discards their hand.

I am GUR. I view the world around me with a sense of wonder and awe that only increases as I learn more about it. I quickly become bored if deprived of puzzles to solve or new things to learn. At my best, I am brilliant and inventive, at my worst, I am moody and erratic.

Quote from Horseshoe Hermit »
Karma doesn't exist. You can't depend on it. If you count on it for justice or catharsis, you will find that you have placed your emotions on very unstable ground; and you will either repeat your disappointment in society over and over, or you will engage in a persistent delusion to protect yourself from that feeling.
