A 6/6 you only had to invest 1 mana into is gnarly, and you can always play it as a 4-mana 6/6 and totally ignore the stun counters

While the feel of modern new and fake cards are very similar (smooth and polished), an old, real card is supposed to be rougher to the touch

Especially in kindred decks you can run into the problem of dumping your entire hand onto the table and them being board wiped, and this not only lets you cast some bigger things before the wrath happens, it also reloads you for afterwards
