It helps dig (a lot) and can be used as a sacrifice outlet for Rector. It's surprisingly good vs control because you can filter a lot of junk into action spells. I will attest to its funness. I *love* this deck.
8:16 very nice first game - a quick “nitpicking” comment here for viewers not completely familiar with the combo One of the beauty of this deck is the wonderful synergy between MoM & City of Brass: the player in auto-mode got the damage from city and went down to 17 but actually the damage is still on the stack and everything he is going to do from this point onwards is in response to that damage at instant speed. Therefore that damage will never be taken 😊 This also means that even if city was the only land in play he could have generated any and as many mana he wanted and still play in response 🤩
