Puresteel is great because it triggers on EtB not just cast, allowing Teleportation Circle and recursion to draw you cards in a pinch
It's an amazing option for a tempo strategy where it kills quickly if you have some bounce or tap effects in your deck, and it works with auras, equipment, and pretty much everything in the game of Magic
You also get a ton of combat control with this cards activated ability
Give it a +1/+1 counter either through dethrone or any other means, then sacrifice it
