Character Evolution Concerns

Hey Mark! So, my favorite magic card to me is Kambal, Consul of Allocation. It exemplifies what I love about taxes in a simple and elegant ability, along with absolutely stunning art. The new Kambal, Profiteering Mayor, to me does not read as Kambal. Does he tax tokens entering the battlefield? What makes him in any way related to Consul of Allocation?

It reads as a completely new character to me and makes me sad. Additionally, I find I am getting frustrated by an overrepresentation of tokens and sacrifice theming in Orzhov. I am a taxes player, and lately the cards that appeal to me either come in mono white or monoblack. Rarely an orzhov card that I truly love.

I've felt betrayed by Kaya, and now Kambal. I want to see these legends in ways I actually play this color combination. Lotho and Kambal are great examples, but it's hard to find many more.

They’re both <when your opponent performs a certain action>, you drain them for two.
