you may play that card this turn mtg Do I have to pay the CMC for the exiled cards or if an opponent loses life then I can just the card? : r/magicTCG Explore (BLC) #216 | Dragon

Seeing heavy play in Standard, the Elder Dragon enters with a Treasure token, with the option of casting Instant/Sorceries off your artifacts

One particularly damning thing to note is this chart: This table shows that with 7 Swamp and 7 Plains, you will have the required Plains to cast a turn-3 Territorial Hammerskull only 85.9% of the time (on the play, in absence of mulligans or card selection)

Until end of turn, target creature gains trample and gets +1/+0 for each card you've drawn this turn

This means that as long as either of these permanents are in play, for each unblockable Rogue that player controls, that's one additional card they can reliably draw each turn

in fact, the standard casting only draws you one card, which means its closer to card selection

Commanders that benefit from graveyard protection are Muldrotha, the Gravetide and The Master, Transcendent to name some Sultai options
