The player has to get something, otherwise they'll spend their time doing something else. Personal opinion/speculation : These spells seem a tad too flavorful to become evergreen they only fit planes and stories that have a murder mystery theme, with detectives and law enforcement agencies
A unique form of mana ramp, not only does Lotus Cobra reliably produce at least one mana per turn, granted its controller isn't missing land drops, but it allows already potent mana ramp spells to provide yet even more mana
Its powerful, but dont be fooled into thinking you dont need to put the work in to reap the rewards
You can get lucky and find an employee whos into TGC and get good service, but if something happens to the cards anywhere along the way, the support/resolution process is abysmal
