My parents got me this Pokemon magazine that had this Totodile card shown on the bottom of one of the pages with some text that said something along the lines of look out for this brand new Pokemon
Mirror Entity is probably my best suggestion as a way to set yourself up to be able to swing with a bunch of one and 2-power Pirates, hopefully get them in "under the door" against an opponent without flying/reach blockers and then you use Mirror Entity to make them as large as possible before applying damage
Drain your opponent's resources and cut them off from anything that will hurt you
Youll usually see this card in tribal creature decks, such as Slivers or Goblins, or token-generation decks like The Locust God and Purphoros, God of the Forge
Branded Beastcan be placed directly from the Deck, and with the presence of Salonir, it is also great to be able to build a highly reproducible board even with one copy at a time
Other Budget Upgrades To Consider Feed the Swarm can sometimes result in a lot of life lost
