pokemon card 007 025 ⚡️Pokémon of the Day:Flying Pikachu VMAX🎈 Flying Pikachu VMAX is more than just a cute face—it's a massive 310 HP powerhouse that can shut down entire strategies. This Ultra Rare card Perfect for collection or investment. Pikachu - PtS - Shaymin

To my eyes, that all but locks us into playing a specific Planeswalker-themed strategy if were considering this card

We failed to decide to make breaks more fundamental in how we assigned colors to archetypes

Wight and Graveyard Marshal were other reasonable choices, but never quite strong enough for the cut (also, both had two toughness) and Mire Triton is again more of a graveyard synergy card

Together they explain why ripping should be framed as paid entertainment with a chase attached, never as a savings plan

When the first card they draw each turn is exiled instead of drawn, it forces them to either play it or lose it
