In a metagame with more Mono-Red Aggro its a serious consideration, but its not good enough against the other aggressive decks in the format (Jund Dinosaurs, Orzhov Vampires, Boros Feather) for me to feel comfortable running it
You shouldnt dont go out of your way to take them, but theyre cards with a slightly higher upside so you can sometimes take them over cards that might be comparably good for your current deck
The Forces of the Imperium deck is all about creating advantages even when it seems like there are none
This metric also favors the Cat deck, with Lightning Greaves and Sol Ring both being top-10 cards in the format and Mirari's Wake being a staple as well, coming in at #204 on the most played list
Unfortunately, unlike artifacts, enchantments, and even ramp, there simply aren't that many "the top of your deck matters" cards in Magic , so there's only so far you can take the theme
