Sundered Lands is one of the most enjoyable factions to play, one which I keep coming back to for full faction play. I am sure part of that enjoyment comes from a well-rounded faction with tons of solid viable archers, melee, and support champions, great AOE spells, good support spells, relics, and equipment. Overall the faction is very well-rounded. The faction bonus is as follows:
10 Rune Faction Bonus: Dragon Hide: Units gain +8 defense.
20 Rune Faction Bonus: Greater Dragon Hide: Units gain +15 defense.
Another somewhat subtle reason to play this faction is that the base units are fairly well equipped in terms of base stats and abilities. Many have good DEF, HP, SPD, and DMG, plus adding a faction bonus makes for high-survivability champions. Easy mode. But why not?
This faction also has arguably the best flavor and theme to it, especially after the Skeezik Rebellion expansion. The Draksar / Skeezik units have great artwork and the storyline of disagreement between these races, plus various abilities or spells like Skeezik Alliance or Skeezik Rebellion, help to tie together story and strategy in an appealing mix. In-faction synergy is great with reptiles + poison, regeneration, and abilities like Draconic Force. Some champion abilities or spells are more fun to play than others, and this faction is replete with fun gems: trapper units, leaping reptiles, Charge, Skeezik Rioter, and Fire Storm to name a few.
Another plus is the fantastic way this faction marries to almost any other in 10/10 decks. Archers alone make a powerful argument for choosing this faction for play with any other. Some of the best of the best ranged units in the game originate from this faction, including: Draksar Archer (Farshot), Skeezik Cannoneer (Range), Skeezik Rioter (Swarm), Skeezik Sniper (massive Range), Dragonleech (Range + Nora Leech ability). Then you have some units like the Draksar Charger, a large, tough melee champion with Charge and a ranged attack!
Altogether, this faction has it all!
