Lastly when your deck needs life gain you are likely a control deck or a very grindy deck

Powerful counterspells like Mana Drain or Narsets Reversal, board clears like Perplexing Test or Evacuation, card filtering like Dig Through Time or Frantic Search, raw card draw through Blue Suns Zenith or Commanders Insight these only just scratch the surface of what a Merchants Scroll can do to reinforce your hand and available options
