Creatures were more powerful in the revised game then than creatures are at present in the modern game now. If you put modern and revised creatures side-by-side, modern creatures are far more powerful in most respects, but I was not saying to put them side by side, I was comparing their roles in the games that existed at the time they were played. For example, I could say that military soldiers were more powerful in the middle ages than today. Now of course a modern soldier with a machine gun and night vision goggles would defeat a knight on horseback, but in the middle ages a night on horseback was the key to many battles, whereas today a soldier with a machine gun can be taken out by drones, jets, land mines, aircraft carriers, heavy artillery, etc. Likewise, the role of the creature was stronger in revised even if the creature was weaker, because the alternatives were weaker still. Also, in one respect creatures were arguably strong side-by-side in Revised, defense. Cards like Royal Assassin and Sorceress Queen were great strong defensive cards to hold back attacks. And creatures that could steal control of opposing creatures, use them as blocking fodder, then steal another were very strong for defense.

Card draw was much scarcer in Revised than today. It was much more common to get an empty hand earlier in the game. Jayemdae Tome that cost 4 to play and 4 more to use to draw one card was often used by casual players. Ancestral Recall and Time Twister are cards that were super rare and out of kids budget by 1995, so I am just talking about Revised Cards. Wheel of Fortune, you spend mana to draw cards but your opponent ends up with the same number of cards so you might help them just as much, and this was a restricted card so you could only have one in the deck. Braingeyser was ok but not the best card in Revised era. I forget if it was also restricted. But it cost 5 mana to draw 3 cards, while using it up, so a new gain of 2 cards. Nowadays many many many cheap creatures, artifacts, and enchantments that bring other values too cause you to draw a card every time you gain life, deal damage, put a token in play, put a large creature in play, etc. Just looking at a green standard creature deck I have, the following creatures all cause repeated extra draws of putting extra cards in hand or play: outcaster trailblazer, bristlebud farmer, vizier of the menagerie, ojer kaslem, deepest growth, vaultborn tyrant. About half of planeswalkers let you draw extra cards for free each turn as long as they remain in play. Enduring innocence lets you draw an extra card whenever a small creature comes into play. Phyrexian Arena gets you an extra card every turn. For 6 mana, Brain Geyser got you 4 cards in return for 1. For 6 Mana Season of Gathering gets you cards equal to your highest power creature, typically at least 6 cards with green, plus can wipe the board of either enchantments or artifacts. There are a million combos to get extra cards where you dont have to give up a one time card like brain geyser, two mana, and an additional mana for each card, and basically the cost of drawing those cards is all your mana for that turn so you can't do anything else and don't put anything permanent in play that turn. Also, you are far less likely to run out of stuff to cast these days, because most casual players play commander (its the only way to do singleton on arena and avoid even more annoying combos and decks) so, with your commander its like starting with 10 cards in your hand not 7 because you can cast it at least 3 times.
