If you buy a sealed booster box with a full 36 packs, 10 cards each, there is a chance you dont pull any Special Illustration Rares (SIR), Ultra Rares (UR), Hyper Rares (HR), or even Illustration Rares (IR)
These cards also combo very nicely with Quicksilver Dagger (which is powerful in itself for a card of common rarity), allowing you to repeatedly do damage, draw a card, and add counters/spawn tokens/buff your creatures for as long as you have mana
The full-art treatment gives the illustration room to breathe, with Pikachu's electrified form filling the card from edge to edge in a composition that prioritizes impact over subtlety
It's no longer a top-tier 1-drop, but you'll still find it hanging around Vintage Cube these days
I cant wait to start testing the new cards and prepare for a whole new Standard format
