Yeah I thought that too, although LSV specifically says that they "would" design it as Ward these days, which I take to mean that while it's not the same as Ward it would have had Ward if the card was designed today. Kind of like how there were lots of creatures before Deathtouch was keyworded which had triggered abilities that destroy things they get into combat with that aren't technically Deathtouch but those cards would have Deathtouch if designed today.

A card like “double down” seems like it’s primed to work getting in a set like this than it might in a different set because of Plot. Plot sets you up to be behind for a turn or so hoping to get better value later. Casting double down on turn 4 plus a plotted outlaw (or two) gets that lost tempo back immediately which is sweet.

Aven Interrupter is also very good against Spree cards, since you have to pay the additional costs again. Three Steps Ahead and all hard counters are also very strong in a format with Plot. You get a warning they are coming. Nexus of Becoming does not work with Loan Shark. Loan Shark's ETB checks for 2 total spells, not another spell (it's functionally another spell because it counts itself). Because you made a token Loan Shark, you didn't cast it.

"Where's the bad news here?" regarding a 6/5 trample with double-upside for 4 Well, the bad news is that when you systematically opt to remove all downsides and drawbacks from card design because it's "too complicated," you dramatically limit what design space can exist and just keep cranking up the rate of power creep. And, apparently, the average text-box size.

They still make cards with downsides. Like the Scorpion Dragon that gives itself -1/-1 based on cards in hand. And there are other ways of giving cards virtual "downsides" without making it explicitly a downside abilities, like having restrictive mana costs, weak stats relative to their mana cost, or having abilities with very niche applications or difficult activation costs. It's better for the game that cards as a baseline work and get better with added synergy. It's how Limited has avoided having literally unplayable cards like what used to be the case.
