As a Pokmon that evolves into Lairon and eventually the formidable Aggron, Aron is often seen as the foundation of a powerful team anchor in the games, notably introduced in the Hoenn region within Pokmon Ruby and Sapphire
The set is known for its unique theme and the challenging nature of pulling Gold Star cards, which were limited to approximately one in every two booster boxes
This effect is designed to punish greedy mana bases, five color decks that just don't run many basics
Even though this was far the first card to feature the fire starter, the fact that this one was owned by the Cinnabar Gym Leader made it an elite find
You always get a good one mana spell but a good one mana spell is rarely a good two mana spell (unless it was well above the curve before hand such as Lightning Bolt!)
The game is a direct sequel to the first Pokmon Trading Card Game and continues right after you beat the Grand Masters - which is when Team Great Rocket steals all of your cards, requiring you to start from scratch
