This type of deck almost builds itself, letting you lean into tons of sacrifice effects to get an army of Insects

While its plenty powerful, its the effect on perceived barrier-to-entry that really posed a problem because casual players watching Commander games in passing could reasonably assume that they needed hundreds (now thousands) of dollars in Power-9 mana as table stakes, just to join the format

This can trigger when you make Treasure tokens too, which is very easy to do with very little effort in formats like Commander

In standard mode the player's deck can only use cards which are legal in the current standard rotation (each year older cards are retired from play)

Young Pyromancer and Guttersnipe trigger every time you cast an instant or sorcery, netting you additional creatures and damage.
