In a five-color deck, getting any color of mana right away is vital
You effectively get to stop your opponents from tutoring
Its difficult to work out power level with strangers, so having a bigger list of the most powerful/problematic cards and then being able to say that three of them is level X, six is level Y, and so on, gives people a way to say, quickly and cleanly, how tuned and powerful their deck is
If Ifrit has three or more lore counters on it, exile it, then return it to the battlefield (front face up)
You can also use cards like Ram Through to push Omanths damage through or equipment like Forebears Blade to give it trample Purphoros, God of the Forge & Arasta of the Endless Web There are plenty of wild things you can do with Purphoros, God of the Forge which can help whittle your opponents life totals away
