The One of One Ring Peak Value: $2,000,000+ USD Why It's Valuable: A masterstroke of marketing
Akiri, Line-Slinger Akiri, Line-Slinger is an equipment-based Voltron deck that pumps up its power based on how many equipment cards and other supporting artifacts you have on the battlefield
Here's how the deck looks with the upgrades added: Also to pre-emptively address some comments: one direction that you can take the upgrades is to really lean into Sliver Gravemother's encore ability and turn the deck into a straight-up Encore deck -- Buried Alive and Entomb cards to put slivers into your graveyard, Convergence of Dominion and Zirda, the Dawnwaker to make encore cost less (though PSA Training Grounds doesn't work, I see people suggesting it but sorry no), Mondrak, Glory Dominus to double the encore tokens, Sundial of the Infinite to keep the encore tokens permanently -- that sounds sweet and all but you'd need to do a massive rework of this entire precon, turning it from a Go Wide Sliver Combat deck to Sliver Reanimator essentially
The set also introduced a new type of card, the Pokmon Prime
Persist Persist is a far cry from something like Animate Dead, since it's restricted to just your graveyard and it can only hit nonlegendary creatures which is significant in Commander
Briar While Pokemon cards are flashier, Briar might be the card to turn an already popular deck into a dominant one
