Thats a 25% bump, usually reserved for the charity drops, and the higher starting price means a longer time to get to profitability
I also highly recommend this to any Heroic themed deck, as its a free way to protect your proverbial queen, while also hosing black and red creatures in combat Some of these cards have been on my mind for a while, and Im certain there are more I may be missing, but the bigger picture here is to allow more room in your builds for ways to interact with your opponent

Mishra himself isn't amazing apart from the ease of access for the meld effect
The art alone captures the feel of the location, but the ability to banish any character that challenges and banishes another character makes it even better
This keeps them on the back-foot and dancing to your tune until you're ready to deploy characters with 'Evasive' (meaning they can't be challenged unless the other card has Evasive too)
