Though these two Pokemon are certainly the most famous ones to get cards in this expansion, the real MVP of Ancient Origins is the mythical Hoopa EX
Of all the evergreen mechanics in Magic: The Gathering , hexproof is perhaps the most polarizing
Then search its owners graveyard, hand, and library for any number of cards with that name and exile them
Very much akin to one of my other favorite mechanics, Simic's Evolve, Increment says that whenever you cast a spell, if it cost more than the power or toughness of the creature with increment, you give that creature a +1/+1 counter
If however the spell you manage to place back on top is one that is only useful because of the stage of the game such as a ramp spell then you have gained a huge advantage, greater that you would have gotten from putting that card in the graveyard
