More often than not you are going to be getting a creature of lesser CMV than you spent unless you deliberately build with getting max value in mind with something like a Mayael the Anima list, and even then you're relying on rolling high to get your huge threats

You can play this black ramp piece in other color combinations thanks to Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, but those decks make this black land a weak half of a 2-card combo

This way you can reanimate a creature from your hand

Maybe thats enough

It makes for a smoother game overall and works incredibly well under various stax effects, which notably makes for a great sub-theme, and Heliod is overall one of the best mono-white commanders

It feels like a "Smuggler's Copter" adjusted to common power levels
