I wouldn't go around calling combo players dumb. That's highly unfair. Whether you play aggro, combo, control, or midrange — it's hard to call any deck out for being less intellectual than others. Sure math is more complicated for some decks, but you always need to know your outs, know what to play around, and know when to mulligan. If you dislike combo, don't hate the players—pack some deck tech.
Secondly, its an ability word. Note the italics. It's like Metalcraft, Addendum, or Channel, for instance. Magecraft is just whenever you cast/copy an instant/sorcery, then do something. The effect could be anything:
That doesn't exactly put the fear of Heliod in me. Especially in eternal formats, going infinite is usually pretty simple if you want to do it. Often times in constructed, non-singleton formats the combos are either so fragile or so resource-dependent the benefits don't outweigh the costs. Other times things get banned, if necessary, but let's not throw in the towel on Magecraft, already. Some people want Splinter Twin back in Modern, and that's much more abusable than something like I expect Magecraft to be in eternal/singleton formats, let alone Standard.
I think this will be a fun card, turning all of my Eliminates into pseudo-Sorin's Thirst.

Tezzeret was my thought, too.
Excerpt from MTG Wiki article on Tezzeret:
Forsaken
With the damaged Planar Bridge in his chest leaking energy that slowly seared the surrounding flesh, Tezzeret fled to Esper on Alara.[20] There he was informed by a gloating Tibalt, who had witnessed the end, that Bolas was dead. Tibalt had hoped to feed on Tezzeret's pain over his master's death, but he couldn't be happier about it. Bolas had been the only entity in the Multiverse powerful enough to stop his minion. With the dragon gone, there was no one who could stand in his way. Reuniting with his own minions, the gargoyle Brokk and the homunculus Krzntch, he reoccupied his fortress in the clouds, the Seekers' Sanctum.
The Wanderer revealed that she feared what Tezzeret might become, now that he had become untethered from Bolas. She considered him extremely dangerous and a possible threat to the Multiverse. Aided by unique abilities she possessed that allowed her to track him, The Wanderer and Ral Zarek eventually found Tezzeret. The pair were attacked by a squadron of etherium gargoyles. Ral and The Wanderer destroyed all of them but the leader, Grokk. They then entered Tezzeret's base and battled against his minions and faced multiple traps. Upon reaching Tezzeret, The Wanderer was knocked unconscious by the lead gargoyle and automatically planeswalked away. Ral found his powers useless as Tezzeret's Planar Bridge technology absorbed and redirected his lightning strikes. Nevertheless, Ral challenged Tezzeret to continue fighting, and in hand-to-hand combat, Ral was badly beaten. Not wanting to be hunted further, Tezzeret showed mercy and gave Ral his damaged etherium arm to provide proof of the kill.[20]
Tezzeret returned to Ravnica to meet with Lazav with whom he had formed a secret alliance. Lazav revealed that Ral had unexpectedly told the truth about his defeat which prevented Lazav from blackmailing him. With better news, Lazav went on to discuss his plans to blackmail Vraska and how they could now exploit the new leadership structure of the Orzhov. Lazav also revealed that he had infiltrated the Simic.[20]
Tezzeret is still alive, has the Planar Bridge lodged in his chest, and The Wanderer even mentions she worries what he will become. It is thought without Bolas commanding him, he will be one of the most powerful threats still roaming around, as he has the Planar Bridge with him. This also coincides with it looking like the character in the saga art has an etherium arm, and anytime WotC mentions Tezzeret in a story context, his etherium arm plays some role in the story.

From the Comprehensive Rules (November 20, 2020—Commander Legends):
701.27. Proliferate
701.27a To proliferate means to choose any number of permanents and/or players that have a counter, then give each one additional counter of each kind
that permanent or player already has.
It doesn't work, because when she's exiled she is not a permanent.

I think it's more of a dwarf BERSERKER thing?

Also its another 2 drop cleric for party decks that has a real use.

It's really more similar to Gurzigost, except in some decks in Standard Gurzigost was a beater.
