Ive seen plenty of Top Trump decks of famous films, TV shows, and books and wondered how they were able to fill 30 cards often these include obscure characters just to make up the roster
The major reason a card will be banned in any TCG is to keep competitive play balanced by removing powerful and often game-breaking combos
On the opposite side of the spectrum, Orphan, Cocoon falCie is the beautiful and sinister Muldrotha the Gravetide reprint I never knew I wanted
In a metagame where graveyard recursion strategies like Amber Emerald Dogs are everywhere, this is a massive advantage because it prevents the opponent from simply bringing their threat back to life the following turn
All the exclusive reprints found at those events go for much more than their cheapest variants
That means they attack immediately, hit even the sneakiest foes, and forget all about questing
