Now think about how you can only have four copies of any card with the same name in your deck at one time
If you draw them early, you cant get rid of them
Take a look at all the showcase treatments, borderless cards, extended-art variants, Enchanting Tales, and more
Rivendell Rivendell is clearly better than something like Castle Vantress in anything but a mono-blue EDH deck where you can be more sure it comes into play untapped, but even then, Id still choose the house of Elrond
If you are casting just the second mode for 4 Mana, bringing back a Death Baron and a Championed of the Perished is not to be looked down on
That is similar to Blasphemous Edict , in which you are likely to be able to deal with everyone's creatures
