I think the biggest issue with this card is that it adds the ink to your inkwell exerted, meaning your opponent is definitely going to have the chance to take advantage of it before you do

Thats really hard to do when were pumping out literally 25 precons a year, but the energy theme is new for Commander (until Modern Horizons 3 ) and gives some old cards a home

Weve been seeing more cards like this recently, and its a design space that Im very interested in

Quick aside, while Magic has many influences, Richard has gone on record as saying the game that had the biggest influence on Magic was the game Cosmic Encounter which from a game design history standpoint is really the game that defined the genre of "rule-breaking" games that allowed players to subvert the game's rules
