cards like exploration mtg (Showcase) - Proxy 2XM Station only as a sorcery Exploration | Urza's Saga |

You get a lot of versatility and power when you create token copies of creatures and artifacts, especially when you copy artifacts like Monkey Cage that were never balanced around becoming a creature

Although most packs are the same price, not all Magic cards are monetarily equal

Standard set power levels have been on the downturn for the last few sets, which means were unlikely to see any pushed cards make their way into Modern

Can this help me there

There are multiple tribal draft themes this can break into so it's valuable as a target in drafts

It takes some work, but you can cast Instants and Sorceries out of their yard, and with Tasha out, casting one of their spells using anything, not just her -3 ability, nets you a blocker (It's a 3/3 demon but, trust me, it's a blocker)
