I strongly valued being able to play with 4 Sad Beasts in my deck to realize I really only needed 2 as well being able to play with top-ranked decks that I otherwise would not be able to try since I dont have the $450 worth of cards for them
they work well with Omnath, but also all the evoke elementals like Endurance, Fury, and Mulldrifter
You need stat-lines to line up just right, and if youre turning your 2/2 or something into a 4/3 its really not worth it
Amonkhet gave us a very similar cycle of dual lands like Canyon Slough as recently as 2017, and these lands werent as well received as counterparts like Temple Garden or Cinder Glade
Not once, like Curiosity, but that much damage in cards
Keep in mind since this is a 1x8 this isnt enough for a full on pillowfort deck
