Yesterday, MTG head designer Mark Rosewater explained the thematic choice
Kain, Traitorous Dragoon, has an effect that sees him change to your opponents side to mimic his Final Fantasy IV betrayal
Mass removal greatly improves the value of this thing so that you can reset a board and takeout a more significant thing without the chaff to draw fire
The fact that the buff doesnt hit toughness is also nice because it might convince some players to swing with creatures they otherwise wouldnt, giving you a chance to take that creature out
