2 Sneak There are quite a few ways to get your big, expensive creatures into play through sneaky ways, though not all of them are legal in their respective formats
Then put an instant, sorcery, or Faerie card from among the milled cards into your hand
Theyre simply different
These elements include the cards name, converted Mana cost, type and subtype, artist, power and toughness, rarity, and static abilities
Pair it with burn spells, sweepers like Star of Extinction, or damage multipliers to turn it into a voodoo effigy
Pretty obviously if you don't have enough access to said colour you want to lay your land rather than cycle it and so for the most part these are just half the cost of the various other cycling lands and that makes them pretty all round great cards
