A pet deck style of mine is Miracle Grow: you play cheap creatures that grow as you play spells and protect them with light disruption while they finish the game for you
Most of that comes from playing about 30 high-quality rare/mythic creatures, but there are plenty of cuts along the way to help ease the pain of buying so many singles
Unlike Krosan Tusker this puts the card onto the battlefield and is proper ramp
Ancient Greece Greek mythology often explored transformation, fate, heroism, and changing identity
Several factors influence Aquapolis card values: card condition (mint cards worth 3-5x more), rarity (holographic and rare cards command higher prices), first edition status, PSA/BGS grading scores, and market demand for specific Pokemon
such as using "Morpheus, the Dream Mirror Black Knight" for disruption and "Morpheus, the Dream Mirror White Knight" afterwards to protect the lower level "Dream Mirror" monsters from attack
