The real attraction to this card is the meme-worthy act of cursing yourself and buffing your board of Thopters or whatever
On top of that, its one of the few planeswalkers that can actually be your commander, and its cheap to cast, only costing 3 mana, which is great to deploy early and start getting value from it and permanents
