Folks were quick to figure out this cards powerful interactions with cards like Dockside Extortionist and Dualcaster Mage, so it really set a high bar for the rest of the set
The hope is to snag something colossal with Crime, with Punishment as an over-costed backup board wipe
It isnt hard to reach with support from cards like Farseek or Prismatic Omen, and the payoff makes your multicolor strategy feel worthwhile
Its a little worse in Commander since you cant sideboard it in or play multiple copies, but protecting your team from countermagic and blue and black spells for a turn while potentially drawing a card often feels like a blowout
I know, it's not an exact analogy, but it's close enough for the sake of explanation
