Its a fan-favorite among collectors who prize high-concept designs and players who appreciate the balance between collectibility and playability
Great for any The Golden Apples fan This is a collectible trading card.
That makes them my kind of card, something you can engineer to be above the curve, something that has a broad range of uses and something people are not always vigilant about playing around
The Sunbaked Canyon, for example, is a parched-looking area of the city with direct sunlight illuminating each building, whereas the Silent Clearing card is a picture of the Forum, which, although certainly a clearing, would have been far from silent
Both can be easily replaced by something that adds more value to your board, increasing your chances of making a big play in the mid-game
The competitive meta, at least here in the TCG, requires at least some element of consistency and ability to play through disruption
