This card was 7th on my Top 10 list.
Agatha’s Soul Cauldron is undeniably a powerful card, and it’s almost mind-blowing how many different ways there are for it to be powerful. If you use it just to eliminate cards from people’s graveyards and power up your own creatures, it’s good. If you use it as part of some kind of updated Necrotic Ooze combo, it’s good. If you use it as part of a weird theme deck where you jam all your favorite activated abilities in one deck, or to use Kenrith in mono-white, it’s good. This is largely because you don’t need to give up anything to get all the parts of its game text – it’s like a one-card combo, a card where it’s hard to avoid getting advantage from using it.

Agatha’s Soul Cauldron is one part graveyard hate and one part combo enabler, and that it can seamlessly do both while slowly adding power to your board. It’s not the most brutally vicious card, but it’s easily the one that can enable the most degenerate and horrifying things you can conjure up in your mind. Making ability costs colorless in function is also a subtle benefit, but it can pay off. Come for the promise of degeneracy, stay for the efficient graveyard hatred…sounds like a sound deal, all in all.
