With it, its just the Wild West
Each of the Egyptian God cards in the OCG / TCG are focused on a certain play-style: "Obelisk" is offensive, using its 4000 ATK & DEF combined with its targeting immunity to destroy everything and overwhelm the opponent
Drawing cards is just the cherry on top, but the whole package makes The Great Henge a Deal with this or die threat one of the best artifacts overall, probably the best green artifact in MTG, and among the strongest creaturefall cards
Giving players a choice between two spells on one card decreases the variance in a similar way, and Valki, God of Lies is a great example
