pokemon scarlet and violet tcg booster pack SV1 & Violet expansion! Pokemon Scarlet & Violet Twilight

We got our first taste long ago in Onslaught block with cards like Contested Cliffs but not much ever since

Luckily it is optional, so only do it when it is beneficial

The Ancient One, for example, can only attack or block if you have eight or more permanent cards in your graveyard

The other home I see for this card is in some kind of top-end heavy white midrange deck with no card draw that just wants to use all its mana on a single, huge spell every turn

Gurmag Angler often comes down on turn two in this deck for one mana, and it can also follow a discard spell to put your opponent on a very fast clock

The deck is very linear in the sense that it focuses on doing one thing, which is sending two Archeops to the discard pile and bringing them to the field with Lugia VSTARs ability
