DubMC I had not but those are great suggestions! I’ll toss them in the maybeboard and test the deck with them.

8/8
Inspired by the ridiculous power creep. Now create a parody of a card that is annoying to you.

DemonDragonJ the places that don’t affect legality are pre-constructed commander decks, special-guests, and ”masters” sets - which all still have play design issues I addressed in my post. The only safe place for a reprint, imo is as a Secret Lair.
Martyr's Cause is unfun because it can quickly grind a fame to a halt, allowing a player that is ”behind on board” to pillow-fort for a very long time. This card would be miserable to face against as a newer player, and likely misplayed-terribly if they were trying to run it themselves. The cards intention is to only create toxic gameplay (there’s a reason Wotc hasn’t made more of these repeatable effects in a LONG time).
I fully understand the uses of Claws of Gix, as has already been exhaustively covered above.
For the exact same issues as Martyr's Cause, no newer player should be exposed to the bad-game-design of Righteous Aura. One of the worst way you can introduce a player to a game is to lock them out of it (which is what these kinds of effects do). There are far more elegant, well-designed cards that can show a player how ”life is a resource”
