If you're playing a deck that floods the board with creatures, then you can simply make sure everyone else loses their creature and you get to keep yours
there are some extremely powerful new cards like Tervigon, Old One Eye, and Magus Lucea Kane that are worth exploring and building around on their own

Another thing I want to mention is that Meijer doesnt seem to care as much about where and how they display the cards and sets they have on sale and since some of them place their Pokemon cards all the way in the back near the games and toys aisle, Ive noticed many open packs and boxes on the Pokemon shelves, so theft can be an issue at these stores as well
