there's a huge difference between a rare slot in a regularly available set and a mythic in a premium set

It's not about the instance, it's about the class

so vague philosophical bullshit rather than giving a single reason why this is a net positive?

This topic has been discussed at length in official Wizards articles. If that didn't do it for you I can't

so you're saying because they explained why they do things LIKE this that this was a good choice?

I'm saying I don't expect I can offer an explanation that will satisfy you.

I'm also curious what other cards you think would fit into this slot. I haven't thought much about it.

Lin Vala would be great, but even Orim's Chant is more interesting in this slot. Balance is just a blowout
