When I first thought of Awaken cards I thought "great, an effect and a body on the same turn!" Then I realized that if you cast Awaken with its exact Awaken cost, your elemental will "come to play" tapped, which kinda defeat the purpose of Awaken itself. You do get the creature, but you miss the tempo potential you could get, and it's kind of silly to miss a functional 4/4 creature for a turn.
So how to get around this? The obvious choice is that you cast Awaken when you have one extra land compared to the awaken cost. But having 6 land available in play is far cry from having 7 land available in play. It would be just too slow. This is where Eldrazi Scions become really useful, as they can substitute a land, allowing you to cast awaken with one less land, and your last land can immediately attack or block. BFZ seemed to be filled with various possibilities of playing with mana and lands, and that makes the plays very interesting.
