Its a 4-mana elemental that requires you to sacrifice any number of untapped forests to give it an equal number of power and toughness
Cyclopean Snare just taps a creature, both Puppet Strings and Icy Manipulators have better taps for less than 3 mana (one can untap creatures, the other can tap down non-creatures as well)
It also makes for a leaner curve, which lets Jund get under some of the slower blue decks
Minsc & Boo, Timeless Heroes hits hard and fast, and you can choose between growing Boo or cashing in your hamster for a new hand
Clone variants excel here because you can have the clone enter as a cheap copy of somethinglets say Aether Channelerthen flicker it later to copy something juicier, like Agent of Treachery
A perfect curve for this deck would look something like this: Turn One: Duke of Weselton or Sergeant Tibbs Turn Two: Flynn Rider or Cruella de Vil Turn Three: Peter Pan Turn Four: Aladdin, Prince Ali or Aladdin, Street Rat Turn Five: Aladdin, Heroic Outlaw Turn Six: Genie, on the Job or Lefou, Instigator to Protect Aladdin You'll almost certainly be in top deck mode at this point, but there's a good chance you'll continue to pull high-impact cards like Kuzco, Tigger, Genie, and Aladdin throughout the rest of the game
