pokemon trading card game: scarlet and violet elite trainer box TCG: VIOLET: PALDEAN FATES: : Toys & Games this box is the perfect blend of gameplay Scarlet & Violet: Temporal Forces

People arent going to attack into that nearly as often

It is versatile and rarely a bad card to draw because of this

It just doesnt get a lot better than this for a common

Vance's Blasting Cannons is perhaps the most aspirational card on this list but is almost perfectly serviceable as just a red howling mine (do we have a good name for "effect that draws you another card each turn"?) It notably doesn't let you play lands, but cards like Outpost Siege don't give you the story equity this card does

"Business Summary"

In multiples, or paired with Treason of Isengard, it can act as a win condition, but dont be afraid to use it as a kill spell when required
