(On a side note to those who criticize its high mana cost, think of this for a moment: A Decree of Justice, when cycled using seven mana, would produce four 1/1 tokens. Generally, you'd prefer to cycle it and make a much larger number of tokens, usually around ten, which would cost thirteen mana. If this is average, then why is a casting cost of seven considered so high? Am I wrong in saying this?)
The casting cost is considered horrible for the sheer fact that it requires you to spend the mana on your turn. I think you've completely missed the point that a Decree cycled for whatever maybe more expensive, for what you see as more fragile creatures, but it's mana spent at the end of an opponent's turn.
I don't think you've fully grasped the fact that spending mana during your turn means you have less mana to react with during your opponent's turn, that tends to be the basics of most control strategies. Well, that and achieving card advantage and not tossing away card parity.
