pokemon trading card game xy ancient origins Booster Pack Pokémon XY - Ancient Origins |

Note that is for all types of counters, not just +1/+1 counters

A few compounding factors: Commander became a year-round product line (introducing new legendary cards with every release), Secret Lairs launched in 2019 as a direct-to-consumer channel with no fixed release schedule, and Universes Beyond brought licensed crossovers that each contribute new-to-Magic designs

Thats not to say everything in todays announcement was a disappointment

Cards like The Rack are strong in multiples, as theres a huge difference between taking 2 or 6 damage every turn

I approach the game completely differently than I did back then

The recent proliferation of Universes Beyond sets has only swelled their rank further, meaning that Arena of the Ancients affects a wider percentage of creatures today than it ever did in the past
