Your decks are not restricted to the Singleton rule
In this build I had 6 infinite combos in Black or colorless and I leaned heavily into Nashi's Spikey exiling cards and casting them with life rather than mana
the others sit under $20 Wait 90 days from launch to buy non-chase SIRs (Ethan's Adventure $55, Giovanni $40, Ariana $34, Arven's Mabosstiff $35, Yanmega $33) typical SV-era price trajectory shows 20-30% softening at the 3-month mark Booster Box vs singles tradeoff: a box at $250-300 covers roughly 55-60% of the base set plus a few secret rares, but you need to buy most of the secret rares as singles regardless factor this into your opening budget Illustration Rares are unusually valuable in this set Misty's Psyduck IR ($57), Misty's Lapras IR ($34), Ethan's Typhlosion IR ($31) all hold collector value
This list also includes my fastest random Shiny to date, being my Whirlipede at just 2 Friend Safari encounters, equal to about 16-32 encounters full odds
After all, it is from the same set and also on the Reserved List, but its legal in Commander
Features the new 'Stellar Etch' texture, where the star patterns in the background have a physical relief
