The grumblers are complaining that freerunning cards are going to go in every Commander deck, which is just sillynot every Commander deck is helmed by a commander that is interested in attacking, capable of living through combat, and connecting with an opponents life totals
Thats what aggressive decks normally want to do, but it makes low power creatures far more valuable than normal
They feel like they could be a great general to support Hydra tribal, but their design doesnt allow them to interact well with the tribal outside of setting the color identity
Nine mana total to cast and equip is a lot, but it pairs well with the numerous ways we have to cheat equip costs nowadays, and since it comes equipped to its own token, you don't need to pay the equip cost the first time anyway
Which is going to be very, very hard to do
