Either way, a 1-mana protection spell is totally acceptable, and with split second to boot, its hard not to think about jamming this in any deck that wants to win with green creatures that might face targeted removal
I, for example, took the opportunity to design some cards that played into the theme in new ways
You can even find a surge foil version of a showcase Ring treatment card, borderless rare or mythic rare land, or new Scene Box borderless scene card
However, keep in mind that the Pokmon featured on merch sold outside of Pokmon Centers are usually limited to popular Pokmon like Pikachu, Eevee, and Snorlax, and current-generation starters and legendaries
This also lets you crack open a booster and cast those spells this turn, but that is a may effect and could draw you some nice card advantage in mana ramping form
