Dealing X damage to each opponent and each creature they control is often a reset that favors the caster, especially when your deck is built to recover faster and in some cases, can burn whatever life totals your opponents have to zero
This can slow your opponent down, buying you enough time to get your attacks online and start knocking out the opponents Pokemon
These are the rarest of the rare, with a small set amount printed each set, so even less impressive cards that sport this simple can be worth money
Perhaps it will see a dip as the hype bubble pops, but in reality, its found itself in a unique position: a totem pole of two communities colliding at once
Many cards from the late 1990s and early 2000s were heavily played with, bent, traded endlessly or lost completely, which means fewer remain in good condition today (we were not exactly thinking about resale value at age eight)
