(b) A 4/4 is a much bigger threat to a PW 3 than a PW 50. Part of making Mythics higher costed is keeping them out of level matches.

With a Level 3 PW, you're looking at 3-4 mana on your first match and 5+ on a cascade so low-level Planewalkers are generating much less mana / turn. That's not to say it's efficient even for Level 50 PW to cast 20+ mana monsters, but there's a huge difference in the ability to cast that card between low-level and high-level PWs.
