Print Quality and Card Finish Japanese Pokmon cards have earned a reputation for superior print quality
Losing cards might seem like a bad thing, but it allows different cards to shine, and we will be getting our new Scarlet and Violet set very soon too
And secondly, Ureni generates value as soon as they enter, and it only gets worse if they're allowed to attack
Unfortunately, the expected value of the set is extremely low in digital form, at just $2.08 per pack, and this is at current (pre-reprint) prices, so it's likely to get even worse once the set is being opened
Two mana for 3 damage is always premium removal, and this has some pretty relevant dragon upside that can make it an even better removal spell So, the Equip cost here is obviously really steep, and +2/+0 for a single Red mana would not be an awesome combat trick, but in this case were talking about a combat trick that has the stats boost stick around in one form or another
Collectors familiar with CGC outside trading cards often bring existing trust into Pokmon purchases
