pokemon sword and shield cards charizard 2022 & Lost Origin Tg03 Fa/Charizard Lost Origin - PSA 9 take a journey through the Sword Ultra Premium Collection - Charizard

Given all the exclusivity around the EX variant, a mint-condition card can net you close to 5k

I know some of you will want to keep your deck uniform with those creature types, but out of the box it already makes citizen and warrior tokens on top of already breaking theme by leaning into Shapeshifters like Taurean Mauler so I didnt feel too bad adding creatures that don't tick the Cat-Dog box

Seeing the creature that I picked it should be fairly obvious why I chose Banner of Kinship as my favorite noncreature spell of 2024

The cards are of course still very easily distinguishable by their expansion symbol or date on the bottom

Of course, they come with their downsides, like forcing you to sacrifice creatures or losing life
