pokemon soul silver cards HeartGold SoulSilver Card Common Water Energy 117/123 ART WORK MAY DIFFER FROM PICTURE Pokemon Card - Heart Gold

I quickly realized that it made the most sense as an enchantment

A spell might exile a creature and say, Return it to the battlefield at the beginning of the next end step

Being able to save something like a Barrin and then gaining some life along the way is great and since we do run a decent number of legendaries, her activated ability can come into play when we're Barrin flooded or anything like that

Once Tamiyo flips, she can protect herself easily with her +2

If you do care more about creatures attacking you, you could also consider Illusionists Gambit

It's a cheap card to play that offers a heap of value, and it nips a lot of win/lose conditions in the bud
