The main deck that plays Escape Rope is Night March (and they have access to a 2nd copy via Dowsing Machine)
Cycles of these have been in many Standard sets and have a long history in summer core sets
Whenever one or more nonland cards are milled, you may create that many 2/2 black Zombie Mutant creature tokens
While they all have unique abilities, when you consider that we have cards like Teferi, Hero of Dominaria and Chandra, Torch of Defiance in Historic, most of the new Jumpstart: Historic Horizons planeswalkers just do too little and cost too much to take them seriously as competitive cards (although I am excited to build a Davriel, Soul Broker deck, mostly because I'm still not exactly sure what the card does)
In either case, Im happy to have the cards that preceded the set Im seeking
Because you can use this common card to negate many more powerful cards a great strategy when you are on a budget
