You choose which creatures get counters after you roll the dice

This is particularly relevant against the creatures that provide incremental value every turn that this format is full of: Oculus, Manifold Mouse, Emberheart, Preacher, Tersa, etc

Repeated instances of Swords to Plowshares, Path to Exile, Brainstorm, and Commence the Endgame close things out quickly

Imagine if Born of the Gods had a vanilla creature with no abilities, but which cost just 1 mana and was a 3/3

Also, the ramp effect is not to underestimate, giving tempo decks mana advantage in the early turns will lead to more spells being played and increases the disruption and threat density tempo can represent to close out the game even more quickly
