pokemon i choose you ash's pikachu card - SM108 Lightning Thunderbolt (100) Discard all Energy from this Pokémon Back in 2017, Pokémon dropped

This is the place to be to build an unbeatable deck

The first level up is just two more mana, and then you can bounce one target (nonland) permanent from to the hand from in play

What started out as a cheap way to get access to cards like Enlightened Tutor and Gaeas Cradle has now ended up with these proxy cards fetching nearly $100 for the pricier options and thats a lot of money to invest if the table you sit down at doesnt condone this solution

This Pokmon has seen an uptick in play in the last fortnight, but since it needs its Stage 1 to pile on energy, there's not much benefit in skipping past it

Though, I think it makes its way into more than a few main decks
