One of the reasons behind these high prices is the rarity of these cards
It is the top alt-art rarity in modern Japanese Pokemon sets from the mid-Sword & Shield era through the current Scarlet & Violet era
But today, if I am one of the very few that actually play with the ring, and additionally one of the few with a card pool that could really benefit from an update, how could I in good conscience argue for a return to the ring's written intent without sounding opportunistic
It's small on its own, but it rapidly benefits from Auras and Equipment, in this case, because of double strike
For three mana, you easily get a 3/3 body
There is the question of whether I should play and break the Delta here. If my intent is to play a Chromatic Sphere or a Nights Whisper, then the question is whether the benefit of the shuffle effect down the road will outweigh the potential risk of drawing a land. I think last game demonstrated the power of shuffling. Thus, Im going to use pattern recognition to support the conclusion that I should not break the Delta at this time
