** The above, I think, are fair examples of some of the best of the current line of Magic cards: almost hyperrealistic contemporary fantasy art of fairly uniform quality
Youd probably have to add on a little more card advantage to the ephemeral pilot of Ragavan to have it compete with Shorikai, but yeah
What they have in common: they share the characteristics that historically drive card values up a popular Pokemon, remarkable artwork, limited print runs, and low population at high grades
As such this is typically only put in decks that are very graveyard focused, otherwise you are sadly just better off with a Sylvan Ranger type of thing
Even if there were a deck using Manlands (lands that turn into creatures, ahem) and Crucible of Worlds, so that there might be a reason someone might care enough to try to bring them back into play, there are far more effective cards that can simply destroy their graveyard entirely
