pokemon generations pikachu card - XY Pokémon 26/83 Due to the nature of this constructed deck Pikachu ex 038/175 svM Pokemon

It not only has first strike and deathtouch, which means it has to be blocked by five creatures just to damage it, but also has a wealth of innate abilities

Your opponents are free to enchant your creatures with Auras (like maybe ones that stop them from attacking because they're no fun) without fear of causing them to become modified

For one-off edge cases, its usually faster to use a generic token, a dry-erase token, or a spare card in a sleeve

For example, artifacts that linger in play like Ichor Wellspring and Prophetic Prism will help the metalcraft

It would offer good redundancy to the Grove of the Burnwillows forced lifegain effect and could be paired up with Punishing Fire and Kavu Predator with better consistency than before
