I selected Firewick Sharer and Random Generator gave me Control of the Court. I was a little sad that I didn't land on more creature abilities in Random Generator and got more instants/sorceries this time around. It seems like this cycle wants things like Trample or Flying, not a bunch of funkiness. Again, I'm concerned about power level. I had to bump this down to 2/1 to ensure you're opponent can generally handle the storng-with-aggro ability.

Also, unlike the other 4 of this cylce, this one secretly goes long, which makes me happy. You prioritize playing lands less when you have this card on the batlefield. Which is fine. If you play with a lot of cards with converted mana cost of 4 or less, you can play them, hold onto your lands, occasionally sneak this guy in there, then have a good shot of discarding useless lands...

I can see the vexation with the lack of creature abilities, but I also agree this is a pretty funky design.
