This strategy lets the deck be active in the early game while slowly developing its board into late-game finishers. The low mana value of the majority of the deck means it can oftentimes cast several spells per turn later in the game. Furthermore, the deck’s good interaction helps its tempo and control the game state; Giving it time to nurture its early plays into win-cons.

His ability to cheapen all your dragon spells even from the command zone is huge for the archetype.
