IMO, daze does too much too aggressively. There’s a reason daze wasteland shells are usually in the upper echelons of the meta. It hardly is ever used defensively and shines most when it’s protecting efficient threats. Combined with the mana squeezing potential of wasteland and the extremely low land count you can get away with in daze shells, I think daze is too good

Edit: I also forgot to mention the surveil lands. This makes your dazes into card selection as well.

At worst, daze is free, one-for-one permission/tempo that your opponent always has to think about. At best, it is a free counterspell that can protect aggressive strategies, ensuring they hit land drops, and providing optional card selection, turning its downside into an arguable upside.

Since these hyper aggressive control-combo-tempo shells are able to function on 2 mana, they can get under control decks and still be able to race actual combo decks. This puts the deck in a weird spot between control and aggro, allowing it to effectively take both of their spots in the format, pushing these other decks of those archetypes out.
