I have two ways I try and fight this anchoring in my Brewing
Borsalino or Smoker for a great turn 3 play
In the case of Pokmon, we can use this framework to examine how to store Pokmon cards
This effect can be done at instant speed , so you can invest a lot of mana in it during the end step before you start your turn, once you no longer need mana up for potential interaction
I found evasive vigilant bodies to be the bread and butter of the deck, so Senu, Keen-Eyed Protector, Giada, Font of Hope, Ornithopter of Paradise and Wokej Investigator were key adds
If the investment isnt in the potential of the TCG and mostly in the power of the IP itself, I think vintage Disney offers a far stronger value proposition in terms of genuine rarity, condition rarity, and history - and plenty of banger unique artwork
