Obviously since I didn't finish yet, there will be more stories to come
I think the default will be fetch a basic Plains and make a 2/2 when the battleifeld isn't pushing in any directions, and that's pretty good for three mana
Some newer cards like Anionter Priest will also do some work in cube at some point but again, in dedicated decks
In terms of sheer lore (yes, this is something that I absolutely care about, possibly more than I should), I think the deck works perfectly
Control and midrange decks appreciate how it thins the deck slightly while guaranteeing future land drops, and Commander players like having a low-opportunity-cost way to fetch whatever basic theyre missing
Aerith Gainsborough is more expensive, but the built-in lifelink means you probably dont need to worry about where your lifegain comes from
