Its both a defensive trick and a value engine, all wrapped into a single, highly flexible threat
Also note that you cant play lands, since it tells you to cast the card
I did about 20 test hands to see what the hands looked like and it was very surprising
This card has such a fun design because it rewards you for casting expensive creatures rather than just playing the game like weve seen from previous Bant creature commanders such as Chulane, Teller of Tales
Primevals' Glorious Rebirth is a one-time use to bring all your legendary permanents back after a board wipe
