I didnt quit in protest at the fiddly, expensive nature of the new trading feature, or because the new cards mostly feature monsters from an era of Pokmon that holds no nostalgic power for me
For those few times this comes out on the cheap saccing off something that has served its purpose like a Wood Elves and then going on to hit two things in their hand then it is pretty game ending
Oketras Monument is also always looking for more creatures that cost 1W, something Paladin of Atonement fulfills
While Winter can return any permanent from the graveyard once delirium is achieved, you're likely to find yourself bringing back dead creatures most often
Hopefully, a future reprint will bring this cards price down significantly, but theres sadly no guarantee of that
The illustration for this Blastoise card was created by Ken Sugimori, a key art director for the Pokmon franchise
