For example, if 3 damage would be dealt to you and to each of two creatures you control, and Divine Deflection will prevent the next 3 damage, you might choose to prevent the next 2 damage it would deal to you and the next 1 damage it would deal to one of the creatures, among other choices
There would be a more sustainable model for this (which was a huge positive for the game and for the environment!), but there would also be a price: certain amenities would have to go, which meant no more oversized commanders
So in order to succeed it becomes about mastering the basic strategy of the game, learning weaknesses and ensuring the deck you use has all the cards that you need to help you succeed
These cards tend to be less valuable thanks to their print numbers, but occasionally they increase in value if the promotional decks they feature in go out of print or become fan favorites
A Darkness-type card like Tyranitar EX offering super effective damage could be the perfect answer to the Mewtwo EX decks players are likely to face in PvP matches, much like how Marowak EX can be a great way to shut down Pikachu EX decks
