Shrine of Piercing Vision

Jar of Eyeballs Concept

How was Jar of eyeballs top-downed, considering the near-exact copy Shrine of piercing vision is ? Why put those two cards in such close extensions ?

It is very possible to end up with similar card, one top-down designed and one bottom-up designed. That said, I think Jar of Eyeballs is a bit different from Shrine of Piercing Vision in two important ways: 1) The card does not sacrifice itself to use meaning it can net you many cards, not just one. 2) The card cares about a completely different thing (creature deaths as opposed to blue spells played).

Card Rarity Justification

How could cards like Ghoultree or Jar of Eyeballs even be considered rares? If Ghoultree had trample, sure, that's a rare then. Jar of Eyeballs seems like a slower Shrine of Piercing Vision at best.... I don't see how this card could be a rare whilst Shrine of Piercing Vision is an uncommon.

Everyone seems to miss that unlike Shrine of Piercing Vision, that you do not sacrifice Jar of Eyeballs to use it. It’s repeatable.
