It is not intended for toploaders or one-touch magnetic holders
Despite its weak appearance, this could be a challenging pokemon to get rid of unless you could knock it out in a single hit, which back then wasn't an easy thing to do
This card stands out for its enduring fan appeal and design consistency, both of which support stable, long-term collector demand
That said, there are no other counterspells in the cube at three mana and few hard counters, particularly at low mana costs
All the modes naturally scale well with extra mana, making this a flexible new tool for 'big black decks' with cards like Cabal Coffers or Crypt Ghast
The sheer number of things it does for just one mana is almost offensive, and the fact that it does all of this on an instant makes it the kind of card that could end up banned one day
