The reason behind this fluctuation often boils down to a combination of nostalgia and the strategic playability of the cards within the competitive scene
Smothering Tithe is a card that is reprinted quite alot thanks to how many annoying decks love to run it because of how strong the effect is
Its 483% return since 2004 reflects highly liquid, regulated, and diversified investments accessible to nearly anyone
In addition, Judoon EnforcersJudoon Enforcers (6,454 decks) is big, naturally has trample, and can take some of the heat off our back, restricting who can attack us
No card currently has enough HP to survive this attack, making Charizard EX virtually unstoppable once it starts attacking
Narcomoeba and Prized Amalgam just need to get in a chip shot or two before the damage from Arclight Phoenix and Creeping Chill gets our opponent
