The gimmick behind them is that they can be played with life instead of mana, a strategy that allows for some immensely broken combos due to all the mana-hoarding one could do

Playing a card like Thornbow Archer or Mardu Shadowspear lets you play Belbe and produce 6 colorless mana on turn 2 to accelerate into fun stax pieces like God-Pharaoh's Statue and Ward of Bones before your opponents can blink

Beast Ring, Bonnie, and Beast Energy added versatility, and Greninja-GX was a fan favorite

Adding counters, recursion pieces, and ways to protect your combo will only serve to help you in the long run

Any "as [this creature] enters the battlefield" or "[this creature] enters the battlefield with" abilities of the new token will work

It's great card draw over time
