The new promo card Katara, the Fearless makes for a fantastic MTG commander for fans who want to play allies, as she makes all of their abilities trigger twice
Sorry for the ramble and feel free to disagree with me
Of course, occasionally we get a complex precon (like Miss Omo, Queen of Vesuva and her Tricky Terrain list), but all of them are ready to go as soon as you take them out of the box
If you have a stage 2 card in your hand that evolves from that Pokmon, put that card onto the basic Pokmon to evolve it, skipping the stage 1
