Archive update

Archive seems quite peculiar here - how often would it get used on this card? I would say the card has notable intuitive complexity due to that.

... Looking at the other cards in the set, I feel rather doubtful that these pay offs are worth exiling a card in your hand...

Having this mechanic along side madness also seems counterintuitive as they are antisynergistic. Like now while you drafting, you might be presented by Rumors Hounds early on, then by Bank Chaser - so far so good - and then you start seeing cards like Sanity Eclipse and Blossoming Souvenirs and you go like "did I just get bamboozled?" The cards pretty much actively work against each other. As far as I call recall back to the past, if a set has graveyard focused mechanics such as madness, then it's often supported by other cards caring about graveyard - and never stuff that specifically discourages or prevents bin filling except as hosing cards.

The alternative frames have also had me a bit confused. I looked through planesculptor description and didn't see anything mentioned about them. After I went through the cards looking for a pattern, it seems that all-nonartifact cards with set mechanics use the alternative frame, which is somewhat weird, erm, take?
