Getting multiple cascade triggers off of a single spell is amazing and Call Forth the Tempest not only gives you three spells for the cost of one but deals damage while it's at it
The 5-cost Ivankov is a better value play since they have 6,000 Power and the Character you play is from your deck, so youre gaining a card
provides a guaranteed, unconditional instant win simply by being assembled in hand
This wasnt as useful once the Tag Team Pokemon were released, however, as those also had really high HP and forced decks to adapt to that
However, I do feel there has been an artificial inflation of certain cards
