First off, Absorb Energy is a card that strikes me as niche
You get an emblem with "Creatures you control of the chosen type get +3/+3 and have vigilance and hexproof." Each face of a transforming double-faced card has its own set of characteristics: name, types, subtypes, abilities, and so on
And because we are being friends today with a big victory for all, we are going to run as little removal as possible
That said, unless you want to play the stained-glass planeswalker lottery, there isn't so much extra value that you should purchase the drop even if you have no interest in your cards

Considering the amount of card draw players need to run in Commander to keep up, Smothering Tithe commonly creates tons of advantage very quickly
