Once players are familiar with layouts, they can shift to a softer playmat of their own choosing
Zirda, the Dawnwaker While all the companions are powerful, Zirda, the Dawnwaker caught a Legacy ban for its combo potential
If a creature that has +1/+1 counters on it receives enough -1/-1 counters to cause it to be destroyed by lethal damage or put into its owner's graveyard for having 0 or less toughness, effects that refer to the counters on that creature when it died will see all of those +1/+1 and -1/-1 counters
I also threw in the more powerful venture cards just to maximize that AFR feel (and our odds of a 2-turn dungeon clear) with the exception of Acererak, who isnt quite as cool when we want to smash out repeated loops of Tomb of Annihilation compared to just one
