Typically, it gets played for its cycling + madness cost ala Ichor Slick from TSP Limited and flashes back, but it has surprisingly high flexibility for such a good card (note that you cant buy it back when its being flashed back as it gets auto-exiled, but you can do things like cycling + madness + buyback if the game goes long)
It was released during the early years of the franchise's popularity
Set these cards aside to create a pile of bulk cards that you can sell all at once
Its licensed artwork and premium materials make it suitable for birthdays, holidays, or special occasions
Its a great way to feel out a pod of unknown players if you think youre going to be playing with those people for the rest of the night
Check for the 1st Edition stamp on the lower left, then whether a Base Set card is Shadowless (no drop shadow on the art box) or Unlimited, whether it is holo, its rarity symbol, and its condition
