first edition unown pokemon card value The 23 Most Rare and Expensive Pokémon Cards Preserved in a tamper Unown I [1st Edition] #68

In a normal deck with a few answers of each common card like an Azorius deck with 7-10 counters, two commonly played exiling removal and Pongify (plus Swords and Path) you have a few chances of finding the answer to that Blightsteel Colossus attacking you or that Thassa's Oracle that was just cast that'll win the game with its trigger

Ancient Arsenal Creature (22) Eivor, Battle-Ready Escarpment Fortress Surtr, Fiery Jtun Settlement Blacksmith x3 Keen-Eyed Raven x4 Spartan Veteran x2 Labyrinth Adversary x3 Bureau Headmaster x3 Ezio, Brash Novice Arbaaz Mir Towering Viewpoint x2 Instant (5) Battlefield Improvisation x2 Misthios's Fury x3 Enchantment (3) Artifact (6) Raven Clan War-Axe x2 Headsplitter x2 Hookblade x2 Land (25) Stone Quarry x3 Plains x11 Mountain x11 Ancient Arsenal is a straightforward Boros equipment deck with an aggressive game plan of attacking and getting in chip damage via random burn effects stapled to its cards

Being tutorable with both Stoneforge Mystic and Urzas Saga has helped the deck a lot gaining consistency and fast wins

They hold up to 30 minutes of shuffling without a problem, and pretty much every sleeve still looks brand new
