Whenever I bought Pokmon cards, I did so with a long-term time horizon in mind Im talking years or even decades before Id even think about selling
Each card has a 1st edition, shadowless, and unlimited version when it comes to base set Pokemon
Creatures (6) Arboreal Grazer x4 Subtlety x2 Instants (18) Lightning Bolt x3 Counterspell x4 Planar Genesis x4 Expansion / Explosion x3 Nexus of Fate x4 Sorcery (4) Gates Ablaze x4 Enchantments (7) Guild Summit x4 Wilderness Reclamation x3 Lands (25) Azorius Guildgate Breeding Pool x2 Gruul Guildgate x4 Island Izzet Guildgate x4 Misty Rainforest x2 Scalding Tarn x2 Simic Guildgate x4 Steam Vents x2 Thran Portal x3 Sideboard (15) Consign to Memory Haywire Mite x2 Spell Pierce x2 Swan Song Damping Sphere x2 Dismember x2 Gatebreaker Ram x4 Force of Vigor I won't pretend that this is the most competitive Modern deck in the world, but it's a riff on a deck I loved playing in the Standard, and it gives you a pretty good idea of how a gates deck wants to play
Based on the latest market prices tracked on TCG Stacked, Ponyta is worth about $0.12 USD
These counters are key because as long as Arixmethes retains any of them, it counts as a land rather than a creature
Foretell might be a bit limited as a mechanic, but a Commander deck with Edgin, Larcenous Lutenist from the Honor Among Thieves Secret Lair Drop as your commander can make good use of Cosmos Charger
