Build your deck around sacrifice effects, and Toluz generates incredible value
Swiftspears aforementioned downshift to common is certainly part of it, but beyond that, haste is a powerful keyword that makes Monastery Swiftspear among the best aggressive one-drops of all time for red decks
Being able to ramp the best land out of the top four cards of your deck at instant speed is already very useful, but the fact that you can still draw one of them into your hand as a fall back means that you wont have a major downside (see Growth Spiral for a similar effect)
