machamp pokemon card first edition Bought some cards in bulk and have this I am curious about… is this a “first shadowless”…and how do you know? : r/PokemonTCG Stage 2 Machamp Holo Rare 1st Edition

While it has an enormous upfront cost, you could use this artifact the turn you play it to plonk down a terrifying nine or ten mana creature for free, and then each card you lay after that is just gravy

But putting any cards into his graveyard "for free" is highly synergistic with Grim Lavamancer

It can go off from basically nothing, assuming you know the combo lines, so its always a threat despite what permanents it may or may not have

Now due to its cost it hits back here, but I think you can see its power

Instead, every time you play it or another land while you have seven or more lands out, you get to make a 2/2 Zombie creature token
