These cards can be redeemed to craft any card in the game if players have the wildcard of correlating rank: Gray = Common Cyan = Uncommon Gold = Rare Red = Mythic Rare Gems are rarer, unless players are willing to fork over some real-world money (in the form of widely hated microtransactions)

Its an excellent glue card for many strategies: a good target for Birthing Pod, high-toughness, untapping is pseudo-vigilance, ramp, discard for graveyard value/reanimate, blink, the list goes on

My guess is that this is because the rares and mythics have additional special printings, like extended art or storybook printings
