The next question however is, should I include the 1st Edition symbol or not
Possessing a solid base of energy cards enables you to actually build playable decks rather than simply gathering cards for their visual reasons
Cards illustrated by fan-favorite artists like Mitsuhiro Arita, HYOGONOSUKE, and Naoki Saito consistently sell for more than comparable cards with standard artwork
The benchmark for using this will be whether you can produce two tokens when warping and three after it's fully set
Just by being played, the card prevented a player's opponent from casting spells at Instant-speed, forcing them to only play during their turn and shutting down a huge number of playstyles
As for the middleman Ill keep it in mind, going to focus on the stuff I can get from cardmarket for now, once that drys up Ill have to start looking into other sources
