With graded cards, there's also the population report to consider." Leading Pokemon Investment Advisor 1
Many players would reach for burn, but that mechanic has a close cousin in life loss cards that dont care about anything so petty as damage or creatures
If not, I highly recommend it
As well as having unique artwork based on the shiny Pokmons alternative appearances, Shining Pokmon cards have different attacks and stats compared to their standard forms
It doesn't copy whether that creature is tapped or untapped, whether it has any counters on it or Auras and Equipment attached to it, and so on
Depending on how youve built the deck, you might also get mileage out of: Jarad, Golgari Lich Lord & Bonehoard combo Birthing Pod, Jarads Orders, and Pattern of Rebirth for creature tutoring Force of Vigor as a way to interact without taking a turn off to transmute Agent of Erebos to remove opposing graveyards Solemn Simulacrum or Disciple of Bolas for sheer consistency The opportunities to use this package for your strategy are near limitless, and whilst I think the card is a slamdunk in Meren, its also great in Orzhov aristocrats decks, and probably in other builds like Grixis Spellslinger too
