Many players compare these bursts of speed to how top red cards MTG provide similar early game momentum through fast mana and aggressive rituals
I think the reasons why should be obvious, so lets choose our commander
You can gain life or draw a card as needed, plus it can ward off flying creatures because of reach and it has a better chance of landing combat damage with trample
Underrated (and Overrated): Reinforced Ronin This is also both overrated and underrated, in a similar way to Virus Beetle
But the other part of the equation is that Aetherborn's mana cost is more prohibitive if we want to include things like Shatterskull Smashing and Kazandu Mammoth
But, the best avenue to get the cards you want, without spending an absolute fortune, is by purchasing singles, so hopefully this was a handy guide for you
