Youll often see abilities that animate an artifact and give it power and toughness that correlate with its mana value, while other abilities give the artifact a specific power and toughness (most Tezzeret planeswalker cards, for example)
Plus WotC keeps printing cards that do the modular thing anyway like Dockworker Drone and Sin, Unending Cataclysm
Inkshield goes a step further, heading off a potential killing blow from an opponent and likely unleashing a devastating torrent of tokens from your token doubler effects
There are multiple cheap card draw effects, including Consider, which makes cards like Faerie Vandal exceed expectations
