Faster Matches: Matches are designed to be completed in 510 minutes, catering to players with limited time
If you do, no player may take other actions between the time you pay and the time the creature has one or two +1/+1 counters on it
The new Beagle Boys - Small-Time Crooks dual-Ink card is also great because it is a 4-drop card, which was often lacking in Ruby/Sapphire decks, and it can synergize very well with some already strong cards like Maui - Half-Shark
Because it provides mana so quickly, it allows the player to cast spells earlier than their opponent, thus providing an advantage to the player
It specifically states you can use this card during your first turn or on a Pokmon that was put into play this turn. Now at the time this card was released I believe the newer rule about not being able to play supporter cards on your first turn if you take the first turn was not in place
Since we now have a bunch of cheap duals frumping around, that Wood Elves is likely better, and great with the tri land cycle just printed like Zagoth Triome
