Cards back then were allowed more words, it seems, which made those cards more complex by default (an Ability with 21 words just wont be as complex as one with over 50)
Simply put, the combination of these four abilities will force folks to deal with your Sorin early, or not at all

went back and forth on my choices multiple times xD But ended up going with this: #3 My TrainerSona's team, based on some of my favorite Pokmon whose real-life equivalents or close I've encountered (see spoiler): Frosmoth sprite by leParagon I also swapped Badges out for treasures since I doubt I'd participate in any leagues, the Leaf Stone representing all the plant fossils around here (I've been tempted to evolve Eevee into Leafeon because of this) and Root Fossil a crinoid stalk I found in some gravel
While it might not sound like a lot at first, you can use it to search for Forest Seal Stone [Silver Tempest], which will allow you to go back into your deck to search for any card you like
