We built up some decks in this world, and ultimately, Ram was still a problem if any cycle of artifact lands remainedwhich makes sense given There's another card in the set, Refurbished Familiar, that is slated to be very strong in Affinity as well
I think the deck would have been easily banned if Standard was on year long rotations, but they hoped Kalitas was good enough and just let it ride until it got booted out
