I think Pokmon survives by being able to effectively latch on to every new generation of people that come in and play it
However, this misprint has a background of a field of ivy instead, making the card rare and valuable
1 of 1 is a bit weird to me, once it has been obtained (and revealed), all other sealed product should take a hit in value (no idea how this affects things in the sports market though, can someone shed some light?)
In this case, a plant that looks like the love-child of Iridescent Vinelasher and Tunneling Geopede: Leaner than the latter, one mana pricier than the former, and perfectly positioned to ping foes to death
Since this nullifies its incredible combo potential, Channel doesnt see much play at all
This mechanic was pushed heavily over the last three years, but it didn't really slow the game down, as players can summon monsters seemingly an infinite number of times now
