Promotional Cards Promotional cards are often distributed through special events, magazines, or as part of promotional campaigns
I think the card in Kamigawa that has some of the best Blockness, and therefore feels the strangest out of place like in Masters 25, was [mtg_card]Iwamori of the Open Fist[/mtg_card], and he doesnt need keywords to really be anchored to the block hes from
It doesnt completely shut down players like Erayo, Soratami Ascendant did
While we've had dominant decks and cards like Collected Company, Siege Rhino, Pack Rat, and Rally the Ancestors, those formats didn't see huge drops in attendance, and for the most part, by the time the outcry got loud, the problem card was already close to rotation (if you look at Rally and Bant Company, their most dominant times were in the two or three months before they rotated from the format)
