Japanese Pokmon cards are often praised for sharper printing, cleaner texture, stronger colour depth, and more consistent centering
A 1-drop that replaces itself and can wash colors is better than you normally get and it broke formats and metagames alike
Also, on the early turns this is a three-drop but later on in the mid or late game you get three of these for just a six-mana investment
In my opinion, the most fun thing about this deck is drawing in the region of 20 ish cards per turn, since your deck runs a max of 8 total supporter cards, so you end up using so many items a turn the opponent may just scoop for game two before you even get a chance to set up (this has happened to me, not going to lie it feels great)
The card is far from good but it just does what you need and is pretty much the only thing that does this for black
