Why it sold: iconic character plus a reliable defensive job, safe four-of for new lists
Emerald/Steel is very handy against that particular deck, and most matches Ive played against it are relatively easy wins
It compresses time
If a card that isn't a transforming double-faced card is a copy of Ojer Taq, Deepest Foundation, it won't return to the battlefield when it dies
Ive got this lower on my personal list because I feel like its another Simic legendary creature with a powerful ability tied to game actions that you already want to do, and that just feels too easy and less interesting than other options
White hungers for cheap, efficient, and repeatable card draw effects, and Glimmer Lens is not only the best equipment this year, but one of the best white cards we got for Commander all year too
