Mewtwo EX Mewtwo EX is still great and can take advantage of HypnoVirbank
even a rare card can lose substantial value if it has significant wear, creases, or water damage
All too often, get rid of the Reserved List! becomes a proxy argument for Magic is too expensive and I want to be able to be able to play it for a much cheaper cost! Im super amenable to that argument, and I think that its worth having, but its an entirely different discussion
