Part of me doesn't want to fall into the nostalgic trap of thinking Magic had an essence that is now being lost, but the other part knows if Wizards of the Coast is going to keep Universes Beyond legal in Standard, it could at least try harder to make the cards balanced

War Room is a great addition to any mono-color (or colorless) Commander deck, since it allows you to pay three mana and one life to draw a card , plus it produces colorless mana without coming into play tapped
The opposite is also true: if youve spent a lot of mana already and cast a creature with expend, you may have already passed its expend number and it wont be able to trigger that turn
