It is a huge mana sink, but with infinite mana or a large amount of it, you mostly guarantee a loss of life enough to kill the table after they run out of permanents
In most cases, this will be used to help either you or one of your teammates refill their hand, but if your opponent's deck is running low on cards, you could win the game by making them draw cards until there aren't any left
In Magic there are lots of cards and lots of decks and therefore many things you need to be able to handle, the larger the format the more this is the case
