A pattern of cards has popped up in red cards that let you take a creature from your hand and put it on the battlefield, getting around casting costs and counterspells, though they generally have the trade-off of having to sacrifice that creature at the end of the turn
Not every green creature needs it
If you havent caught onto the theme here yet, strong Pokemon TCG Pocket decks have a lot in common with regular Pokemon TCG decks: their strategies revolve around solid energy acceleration and powerful attackers
Silundi Vision does that, and you can find a counterspell, an infinite combo piece you need, a tutor, or a removal spell
Gravecrawler and Bloodghast are top-tier with sacrifice outlets
