As a frame of reference, this card hovered around $1000-$3000 in 2019, but now has an average price of about $15,000
Once you internalize that, the card evaluations below become obvious: ask of every card, is this a source or a payoff, and does the rest of my deck cover the other side? Best lifegain sources (the engines) You want repeatable, incremental gain lots of small triggers beat one big lifegain spell, because payoffs like Vito or Archangel of Thune care about the number of times you gain, not just the total
How good the bonus is depends on the store, and it usually lands somewhere between 15% and 30%
However, if you are recommended to start with a deck designed from scratch, I do not consider it optimal
First off, Rayquaza is a legendary Pokmon, and who doesnt want to have such a powerful and rare creature in their collection
