When grading, you pay for the value of graded cards
If you cast Channeled Force without paying its mana cost, you still choose a value for X and discard that many cards
To do so, you must show your opponent your entire hand, proving that you didnt draw a Basic Pokemon, and then shuffle all 7 cards back into your deck
The gold border, combined with bright blue and white sparkles, works incredibly well to set this card apart
To put this another way, considering you very well could get three treasures on chapter 4, you come out way ahead on mana if your opponent pays for two attacking creatures during the course of the saga
