This allows you to use potentially powerful cards like Constant Mists and at least get a powerful creature to replace the land you lose
What increases value Silver back holographic integrity (lack of surface scratching) Sharpness of the white card stock edges Growing market interest in early Japanese Fan Club memorabilia What lowers value Low liquidity compared to 'Big Three' (Charizard, Blastoise, Venusaur) cards Potential silvering/oxidation on the back edges if stored in high humidity What makes top-tier examples Perfect centering on the silver reverse Zero 'holofoil clouding' or dulling of the reflective surface Grade & condition Surface scratching on the silver back and centering of the front frame
Ideal for birthdays, return gifts, festivals, or rewards
Straight out of the gate, Id replace Somberwald Beastmaster and Enduring Scalelord with Hamza, Guardian of Arashin and Felidar Retreat (or Cathars Crusade if you have it)
His Willpower is a modest 4, however, so while this can be good for getting extra Lore near the end of the game, I'm not quite sold that it's a good card to play early on, especially on its own
