Pokemon cards battle with their moves and abilities for the purpose of dealing damage until one of them reaches zero HP
Most decks can benefit from a fog effect somewhere in the 99, but most decks wouldnt want to spend a full card slot on it
For the most part, the themes in this set are only lightly supported, meaning you can still craft a strong deck by focusing on curve, efficient removal, and raw card quality without leaning too heavily into synergy
Your resource priority is mana rocks first, then a recursion outlet, then a payoff like Imotekh or Shard of the Nightbringer
Towards the end of the manga, Jaden and Koyo have one last climactic duel where he summons the powerful Elemental Hero Core
You simply just accelerate right past your opponents, and get a creature to boot
