They are something of a trap and while I could see trying it out, you're not going to find a lot of success outside of the most casual of metas
In my experience, your creatures die to a wipe or they take 13 damage with a Blasphemous Act, and no coroner is going to look at the charred husk of what used to be your commander and say "I think the cause of death was Minestrone." Making a creature unblockable is good, giving it Shroud is NOT always good because sometimes you like the idea of having an unblockable creature that can have more equipment and auras go on it
The goal was to self-bounce and recast your things to trigger ETB things (Mulldrifter), self-bounce things (Azorius Aethermage), leaves play things (Circuit Mender), cast things (Equilibrium) and tapping the dork for something valuable (Opposition), with a bounce of self-bounce (Erratic Portal) and a flicker backup theme (Far Traveler proper) in order to lean into the non-cast stuff
Great in green decks, but not technically green cards
