Meren is a 3/4, this is a 3/2. I think that makes a big difference in playability. Lightning Bolt is being played more than ever due to the uptick in UR Delver and RUG Delver. This guy is a value engine card. I'm not sure what deck (edit: non-Jace deck) would want something that costs 4 mana as a value engine.

Damn it, this card is really good in Rhys.

Idol seems pretty okay with Bitterblossom or other constant token generators.
Aeon Engine seems kinda weird. Do you get an extra turn after activating it?

What the fuck have they done to Greven? He looks like a featureless flesh zombie now. Compare that with the original Commander Greven il-Vec.

Theorycrafting for future cycles of fetches.
So really we're talking Grixis then, right? Snapcaster Mage and re-buying Strixes seems pretty good to me, especially with discard/permission to make sure he sticks around.
EDIT: So Grevan will be slinging Lightning Skelemental! Draw six cards, lose 1 life.

T: Sacrifice ~, reveal cards from the top of you library until you reveal a land card or you revealed five cards this way, whichever comes first. If you revealed a land card this way, create a token which is a copy of that land card. Place all cards revealed this way into your graveyard.

First enchantment removal card for mono black?
On Twitter, Rosewater said:
It's something we're testing of adding to black. It's worse than white and green at it and it can't destroy its own enchantments. #WotCStaffWe're going to make enchantment removal possible for black, not easy. #WotCStaff
