pokemon platinum rising rivals card list Pokémon Booster Pack Pokemon Platinum Rising Rivals Booster

It is an adaptation of the card game of the same name

Since it's a mana cheap instant, you can do this in response to targeted or sweeping removal to get cards, as a sacrifice or it can send something to your graveyard about to get exiled by Swords to Plowshares, or to get value out of a chump blocker about to die anyway

The major characters like the Fellowship of the Ring, their closest allies, and the major villains like Sauron all get multiple mechanically unique cards to represent them during different parts of their long journeys

You're essentially meant to be getting a card's worth of value from the effect, while also improving a less impressive creature

If you prefer opening for singles value, standard boxes with strong chase cards (like Inferno X with Mega Charizard X ex) can also deliver but with more variance
