Every Gold Star card shows the Pokmon in its Shiny colouration, and the artwork extends past the illustration box: Charizard is black, Gyarados is red, Rayquaza is grey
rarely will you sit at a table with three mono-color decks
Jumpstart sets are often a bit of a lame duck within the vast world of MTG
Try to give yourself access to a diversity of removal types, including targeted spells like Blink of an Eye, board wipes like Akromas Vengeance, and exile spells like Angelic Edict in case your opponents cast something indestructible
The art has been completely replaced and I have no idea that this card is supposed to be a Mana Vault just by glancing at it
I don't see any scratches or dirt from an amateur's point of view, but it's an expensive card, so please judge by the image to the last
