As spoiler season goes on, its worth examining how much support there is for self-mill in Limited, how many creatures have square stats or higher power than toughness (making them more likely to die and fuel Escape), and how much removal circumvents the graveyard (such as Banishing Light and Charmed Sleep) In Constructed, the rules are quite different
Sword of Forge and Frontier Land and card draw The Swords of series in Magic: The Gathering run a gamut of usefulness, but all of them cost three mana, grant protection from two colours, add +2/+2 and provide some kind of benefit if you can hit a player with a creature equipped with them
It might be a specialized class, but as one of the strongest Izzet enchantments, it would fit really well in a spellslinger deck like Veyran, Voice of Duality
Best yet, you can build this deck for under $50 and still legitimately compete at a casual table
