If you're jamming Eldrazi such as Emrakul, the Aeons Torn, for example, this threatens to straight-up win the game
Commander decks that force their opponents to discard cards often find payoffs in damage
Next up, we have persist creatures that provide a powerful benefit on entering or leaving the battlefield, and then we check to see if they have a -1/-1 counter on them before finding out if we get them back
There are no payoffs with text like every time a permanent changes color. While blue continues to see auras printed that blank creatures as blue's standard removal spell for Limited, the cards that make more nuanced changes in card text are few and far between
At its base level it can be a land when you need it, but when youre hurting for spells, it could just refill your entire hand in the right deck
It costs nearly as much as the deck itself, but it works wonders for our ability to flood the board with our well-built machines
