Its a cheap creature that doubles as artifact or enchantment hate, and its lifegain death trigger helps to pad your life total against aggro
The first stage, which I will call "theory crafting", was when Richard Garfield developed the core concepts of the game and mostly worked by himself
Im not sure exactly where this will see play because its in the Commander set, but it has a chance
The powerful Creature also requires two mana to be specifically colorless, much like Kozilek, the Great Distortion
While the exact result is pure chance, it returns everything with a cost of seven or less on average
Unfortunately, the expected value of the set is extremely low in digital form, at just $2.08 per pack, and this is at current (pre-reprint) prices, so it's likely to get even worse once the set is being opened
