Two Zapdos ex allows me to build a deck around one of my favourite monsters in the TCG (I ran an Electropower Zapdos deck back in Sun & Moon Team Up), and there are a bunch of random alt arts that look amazing, too
in the form of "Divine Go-D/D/D Zero King Zero G.O.D
In a way, the proofs can be thought of as a bit of bonus compensation for the artist from Wizards
Much of the deck is designed with the monarch mechanic in mind, with tons of ways to crown you king and then keep you in power
While ward 1 isn't the best defense, considering how early you can get Raffine down and for how cheap, it's just another part of a great deal
These cards can take a bit more planning ahead to be most effective, but can create some incredible strategies to hinder opponents quickly
