Kyogre and Groudon also got shafted
In draft and deckbuilding, cards with low risk can make more volatile cards less playable: Shock can be cast any time its owner has priority, but Prey Upon isnt guaranteed to have two legal targets, so a win-motivated drafter choosing between the two will tend to prioritize Shock
The real reason players love this card is because it negates effects while not allowing your opponent to respond depending on the card types you send

While the idea of piling up cards and calculating creature stats sounds tricky, Im sure well all quickly assess the possibilities of the mechanic once we see it in action
There is also added value for these cards if you have ways to reuse them for the other side: There are a ton of other utility lands you can slot into your decks that provide vital mana early on and fantastic mana-sinks later in the game when you can use the spell-like effect to break games open or grind some value: Mirrorpool has long been a favorite of mine, and I think it really shines in this format since your commander is often going to get targeted by a removal spell and if you have open mana you can activate Mirrorpool to copy your commander and put your actual commander in the command zone
