Now that we're making these in-world equivalents for these cards, we want those to be around and we want people to be able to get their hands on them
Meanwhile, Caravan Escort isn't quite as efficient but still works really well with Time of Heroes, since we can level it up once, and then with the +2/+2 from the enchantment, it ends up as a 4/4, which is a pretty reasonable attacker on Turn 3
Shorikai, Genesis Engine is such a winner in terms of concept alone, but thankfully for us it's also a powerhouse of a card: this is an ultra-reliable value engine sitting in our command zone, drawing us cards, filling our graveyard for reanimation, making pilots to crew our vehicles, all while not being a creature unless we want it to be so it's exceptionally hard for opponents to remove it
Either way, this is a phenomenal way to punish an opponent for attacking you, and should be respected
