pokemon pikachu poncho card XYP 203 / XY Poncho-wearing Pikachu - 274/XY-P (274/XY-P)

If an opponent plays a card like Day of Judgement or Supreme Verdict a turn or two after you play you have established a big board presence, it can really set you back

Low cmc and instant speed is key here

Absolutely in love with this and the Charizard artwork

Modern is one of Magic: The Gatherings most exciting formats, pulling some of the best cards the game has to offer all in one format, without the baggage that other Eternal formats bring (looking at you Legacy and your Dual Lands)

For two mana you get to draw two cards, though you have to cough up two life in exchange

Its difficult to fully articulate why Black Lotus is so important to the history of this great game
