Charizard Ex 151 - Special Illustration Rare As mentioned earlier, 151 was one of the hottest set releases in 2023
W for a 1/1 (So far, so good.) 2W for a 2/2 (Pearled Unicorn, but not horrible.) 10W for a 5/5 first strike creature (Wait, what?) 1U for a 0/3 (Eh, but bearable.) 3U for a 0/6 (Getting pretty bad here.) 11U for a 6/6 islandwalk creature (Wait, what?) B for a 1/1 (Muck Rats, but okay.) 4B for a 3/3 (Looking a little worse here.) 12B for a 5/5 creature with pseudo-fear (Wait, what?) Those ultimate mana costs were paid out over multiple turns, but if your creature died before hitting their highest level game over, tons of wasted mana, yikes
Finding where to sell bulk pokemon cards is tricky because shipping costs often eat up the profit
Preventing cards you dont need from ending up in your possession stops your collection being ridden with cards youre never going to use
I see all five of these cards as solid includes, I just find it easier to justify making space for Lair of the Hydra and Den of the Bugbear in a Cube as well as those two being higher picks in the average draft
It is almost an auto include in any deck with miracles as it makes you much less susceptible to mulligans
