Palkia EX Best and Worst Matchups As Fire-type decks dont look so potent in Space-Time Smackdown, Palkia EX doesnt have a clear matchup winner, but given the high ceiling of damage output of this deck and the speed of Starmie EX, it should do well against most other lists
One of the first Otter creatures ever certainly took advantage of that keyword, and its companion condition is actually the condition for the Commander format in general (no two nonland cards in your deck share a name)
It could be a restriction on card names, artists, art elements, flavour, or any other number of things, but the point is that the deck is built around that quirk
Black Bloodvial Purveyor 5/6 with flying and trample for four mana is just a ridiculously huge threat
So on your first turn, Destruction is great at getting you to your needed combos to setup a Perfect Ace and/or Blockbacker on your first turn
