This, in part, helps reveal the power of commanders such as Thrasios, Triton Hero and Tymna, the Weaver, rather than being combo pieces they are simply value commanders, and thus blowing them up only prevents one opponent from generating value (though Thrasios is often used to draw an entire deck) but with a win con as elegant as "exile your library" coming out of black, and "win when you draw with no deck" coming out of blue at extremely low mana costs, it really enables you to play the T&T combo that makes them far and away the most common cEDH commanders
Art like that still makes me feel like the cards themselves are ancient artifacts uncovered in an archaic dig site
This is incredibly useful in decks with a lot of different upkeep triggers that want to double the value being generated by those triggers
One common line involves looping Wheel of Fortune with mana generators like Jeskas Will , repeatedly refilling your hand while producing the mana needed to keep escaping spells
Speaking of which, heavy-hitters like Ancient Copper Dragon and Ancient Bronze Dragon are more than capable of finishing off opposing players as a backup plan to Wyll
