It is by no means useless that cards like Concordant Crossroads and Field of Dreams can be used to destroy Nether Voids or Storm Worlds
Players can't respond to your choice of a +1/+1 counter or haste
With this, you can tap down a blocker and ensure your creatures connect, and in exchange, everyone will get the chance to draw cards and make for a much more impactful and fun game
That card starts the game outside of your deck, in your sideboard, and doesnt count towards your decks minimum size
Teferi, Time Raveler cannot bounce it (protection from multicolored), Elspeth Conquers Death cannot target it (due to a converted mana cost of 0 via "x" value), and Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath cannot block it
The doubling of its mana cost and changes to its functionality has made it less accessible for a wide range of decks
