base set two pokemon cards - Ivysaur (44) Captured in a crystal Charizard - Base Set 2

It's similar to Gaea's Herald for protection against countermagic, but it doesn't help your opponents, which is nice especially if you yourself run countermagic

And thats it for both decks

Suddenly, just by leaving 2 mana sources available every turn, you have a constant source of damage prevention

These are connected with Play

These two sure make good cases for themselves
