first edition horsea pokemon card - SWSH11: Lost Origin variation to centering Pokemon Trading Card Game Shrouded

Of course, power creep comes for us all, and this card is no exception

This certainly isn't the most exciting monarch effect since it only gives you the crown at the cost of a land, while basically every other monarch card gives you a creature at least, but it gets the job done and a land is fairly unobtrusive

And yes, that means the 10 SIR cards have stepped up too, all of them (but for the Mega Absol ex, I would argue) looking like they could have been the ultimate chase card in any set on their own

We also have a few graveyard synergies since we're discarding so many cards: Squee, Goblin Nabob is "free" discard, Anger wants to be in the graveyard, Scavenged Brawler can be activated from the graveyard, and Increasing Vengeance can be cast from there

Its a risky proposition in multiplayer since youll probably be on post-Hatred life support, but greatness at any cost, right

Because Game Night 2022 is the latest release, its easier to find copies online and at my local stores
