In short, the cards behave
The highest priority proxies are cards that are both expensive and appear in a large percentage of decks Sol Ring, Rhystic Study, Cyclonic Rift, Smothering Tithe, and the original dual lands
A mono-red Goblin Pirate for four mana, this 3/3 with menace states that when one or more pirates under your control deals combat damage to an opponent, you may exile the top card of those players' libraries
Early JP auctions hit 500,000 JPY at the high end, and the EN market has since climbed to close much of that gap rather than settling into a cheaper range
My point is that Luxior is a unique enough effect and cheap enough to cast/equip that its going to be heavily sought after by both casual and potentially competitive players
