Its a 2/2 chocobo that draws you a land, and it helps you to trigger your landfall abilities while being a solid two-for-one
Removal/Interaction Any good Commander deck worth its salt plays removal and interactive spells, and both decks tap into that with Beast Within and Chaos Warp as flexible removal spells, and Heroic Intervention to protect your permanents by having them gain hexproof and indestructible until the end of turn
Theres also nothing stopping you from both tapping and sacrificing treasures for mana on the same turn, which can fuel extremely powerful spells
Im always fond of looking for cards like that to tune my deck: Nothing to do with Cats or Dogs
Eight cards to escape looks like a lot, but cheap interaction and fetch lands fill the bin faster than you think
Or discard like Liliana's Specter, or recursion like Reanimate, you get the idea
