mtg meta commander decks Magic: the Gathering use energy counters for powerful payoffs with Creative Energy Magic The Gathering: Commander Masters:

Scrawling Crawler Rarity: Rare TYPE: Artifact Creature SUBTYPE: Phyrexian Construct CMC: 3 Mana cost: USD: $7.06 EUR: 6.82 TIX: 0.03 EDHREC RANK: 648 (3/2) At the beginning of your upkeep, each player draws a card

Copying artifacts and enchantments can get out of hand, though this is all fiddly enough that I wouldnt expect it to be too problematic

Then the recently printed Offering costs two too, also sacrifices both, and this time leaves you a Map token to either draw the top land of your library for a three for one, or give a dork a +1/+1 counter

These formats have access to almost all cards from Magics history , so players who are interested in playing need to have pretty big collections to get involved
