Lorcery reads the text on the card, finds the exact card and printing, and adds it to your collection with one tap
Cards like Waterbender's Restoration, Extravagant Replication and Thassa, Deep-Dwelling repeatedly flickering your Aether Channeler and Riftwing Cloudskate gives you an incredible advantage because your opponents have to recast the same creature over and over (this is trickier in our era of powerful enters abilities, but still works)
Now onto the creatures, starting with Angelic Aberration, one of many payoff for keeping all your Scion and Spawn tokens around
My Jalira deck works by summoning tokens and sacrificing them, then whipping huge monsters like Darksteel Colossus and Ancient Stone Idol, quirky beefcakes like Star Whale, big bodies with extra effects like Scourge of the Fleets, Phyrexian Ingester, and Sphinx of the Second Sun, and big ol fish like Stormtide Leviathan. (The deck would probably benefit from Eldrazi cards, but I find myself bored by them, so only two make an appearance)
You lose life equal to that permanent's mana value
