(The other 40 new cards have already been included in our Prismatic Evolutions set, such as Pikachu ex, Tyranitar ex, and Lugia ex.) Our set will feature a mix of regular Pokemon and Trainer's Pokemon (as does Battle Partners , its main Japanese source)
Pros Protection from removal Large +4/+4 pump Cons Costs 2 mana to get full value Pros Cheap at 1 mana Large +4/+4 potential Cons Requires landfall to be optimal Pros Doesn't require mana to cast Can be run in non-green decks Cons Smaller pump at +2/+2 Pros The pump is permanent as they are +1/+1 counters Can reuse persist creatures Can be used to prevent undying on an opponent's undying creature (best used without morbid in this case) Cheap to cast Cons Requires a creature to die to be optimal as a pump spell Undying creatures only become optimal targets after they have died once already
Its a lot of mana for that combo, but people will look to cheat stuff in
The earliest print run date we've seen of a Lorcana box is 050123CM1
If your deck already has ways to ramp, Sword of the Animist might be overkill
