The Magic Librarities site has a section devoted to oversized cards and shares what in their estimation are the earliest ones
The set's focus on multiplayer staples and commander-specific reprints justifies the premium price if you're serious about the format

Casting spells is even trickier, particularly given that spliced spells can cause spells to gain targets, with all the baggage that comes along with that
Also rarely useful but likely a very big deal when it comes up is the ability to move it between creatures your opponent controls
