pokemon card 1999 charizard 4/102 Holo – CGC 9 Mint – Pokémon Base Set (1999) cementing its place as a must Charizard 1999 Pokémon TCG 1st

This has solid base stats and is a pretty good enabler for Flurry

Flipping a Past in Flames, Faithless Looting, or Arclight Phoenix feels like a freeroll

That feels unconscionable for a set where one of your signpost uncommons is modelled after Blood Artist, and the other is a reanimation spell thats biased towards recurring cheap things

If the shock of how truly bizarre these cards' appearance is doesn't cause some part of their brain to short-circuit and implode, you could always wipe them out on the battlefield instead

with Surtr, I can build mono-red legends and include Neheb

The mana cost is rather cheap, letting you get it onto the battlefield and take advantage of its effect very quickly
