In multicolour there are two: one Rakdos (red/black, Ob Nixilis, the Adverary) and one Grixis/Maestro (red/black/blue, Anhelo, the Painter)
Ground attacks can't harm Flying Pokmon
These cards were the first to use more than one energy type in order to conduct their attacks
Despite the drawback of only being able to activate Tataru Taru's ability once per turn, there are still plenty of opportunities to build up a considerable horde of valuable treasure
While its relatively easy to copy a one and two-drop with this, moving further up the curve is much harder
