pokemon stage 3 card Blastoise 31/149 - Boundaries Crossed - Evolution Lot - Rare 1 Basic Energy Pokemon Chaos Rising 3 Pack

Some cards are still more powerful or efficient than others, but the balance of mana costs keeps things in relative check throughout the course of a game

A proxy is a stand-in for an existing card, usually a reprint of a real card's text and art so you can playtest without buying the original

Id gotten myself into a comfortable position of being able to sacrifice Avacyn, Angel of Hope with my High Market every turn cycle with a Bruna, the Fading Light and an Angel of Serenity in play

Its a neat easter egg add that only makes the card more desirable

But given the cost, the benefit here is in instant speed activation and ability to bypass most counterspells
