The world's first trading card game was Magic: The Gathering, first published in 1993
Its now a key part of the Miraidon ex deck in large part thanks to its Ability of Resolute Heart, which makes Pikachu ex immune to being one-shotted, as well as its Topaz Bolt attack, which dishes out a massive 300 damage, allowing Pikachu ex to pose a significant offensive threat
Goliath Punch hits for 300 behind a Mobility Restriction Ability that shuts off attacks unless you hold 10 or more cards
Back then, it was played in all kinds of decks, from Midrange strategies, to janky builds looking to cheat out Emrakul
The bucket Island took an especially hard tumble thanks to the fact that it was actually reprinted during our latest trek to Zendikar, but theyre all a little bit less cool now that there are more full-art lands out there
Actually, I'm just hoping it won't be sealed away in a dusty safe for the next 50 years, let the fans see it (from afar) P.S.: And there I was thinking an XY Evolutions holo Charizard was overpriced #19 I really wanted to say this a long time ago
