If your opponent can put an extra token in play or play a one-drop, then the card becomes awkward the entire game
There is little drawback to having this commander on the battlefield, because even if the game comes down to you and one opponent, Faramir helps you when you're playing defense by drawing extra cards, and if you're on the offensive, the three fresh tokens will be able to attack quickly since they basically were flashed in at your opponent's end step
