I feel like the opportunity lies with the plays (cringe word) that the masses arent making
Good examples would be Salamangreat Violet Chimera, which gets a powerful ability if you use a different Salamangreat Violet Chimera as material, or Dual Avatar - Manifested A-Un, which gets a range of different powerful effects for summoning with different Fusion monsters
Some people are just better at identifying what that power is
This is Magic: The Gathering Fallout , and it's definitely S.P.E.C.I.A.L
As R&D learned in earlier sets, if you have an activation with colored mana, you can turn that activation to hybrid mana
In regards to stopping the FTK (as in actually being used during first turn where you must depend on the cards in hand to stop it), you can hardly stop it
