pokemon 1st edition shadowless booster pack Base Set Do NOT Open Graded Vintage

These are decks that generate a lot of mana quickly to play huge spells ahead of schedule

Down the road, I would even perhaps enjoy playing a modern Magic constructed format along these lines

I see this as a fringe control card that might see sideboard play

While the official release date for the set is Friday, January 17th, with extreme interest has come extreme pre-sale activity thats made it hard to find products in the wild

Some cards crystallize the entire magic of a Pokemon TCG era all on their own

But the Pikachu SIR sits at or near the very top of the set's value hierarchy, outperforming nearly every other card in the expansion
