Little by little, people played with the split cards and found them a lot of fun
Cascade and impulse draw are two easy ways, and the 3-mana modes not even too bad
I wasn't able to track down a specific issue where this panel appears (please let me know in the comments if you do!) but there's a good chance it's from Maximum Carnage, a big storyline that spanned through all the ongoing Spider-Man comics in 1993, and saw Carnage do what he does best, spread death and havoc, this time with a makeshift "family" of superpowered maniacs
Cards like Soul Warden, Ajani's Welcome, Kor Celebrant, and Impassioned Orator can turn the smallest token into a big buff for your creatures, while it can combo with stuff like Spike Feeder, Fathom Mage, and Horizon Chimera for infinite lifegain
