1999 machoke pokemon card · Base Set First Edition #34(Shadowless) Giovanni's Machoke - Gym Challenge

Overall, I think it justifies its value very well

Pumping up your board on ETB is a nice starting point, but there arent many homes for this outside the Growing Threat precon it came in

Another card that combos nicely with The Wanderer

Despite Mark Rosewaters peculiar claim that Small sets get one week of previews, this had literally never happened before Aether Revolt (excluding supplemental sets and some core sets)

I think having one of these at the top of your curve in Blue seems like a good idea, though

It's a great include for a Voltron deck as you get your commanders stronger with the best equipment, auras, and anthem effects because double strike can be the icing on the cake to winning by commander damage
