Its perhaps appropriate that the most eye-watering sales of single Pokmon cards remain fixated on the franchise's little yellow mascot, as a trio of trophy-wielding Pikachu recently sold for $300,000 while an extremely rare Pikachu Illustrator card found a buyer at $900,000
The Council of FourThe Council of Four is a similarly punishing card, though it does its job by bringing you up to parity with your opponents rather than dragging them down into the muck
That jolt of excitement is the engine that has powered MTG for over 30 years, and it's all driven by a brilliantly designed system: MTG card rarity
Mega Hyper Rare Gold cards feature the toughest pull rates, driving their skyrocketing market values
The other Zombie Knight making the final cut is Phyrexian Crusader, although Marauding Knight, Order of Yawgmoth, and Stromgald Crusader were all in late drafts
Hopefully, the promise of the returning Pokmon-ex mechanic, along with the mysterious possibilities of terastalized Pokmon cards, will be interesting enough that focusing on how it affects live play might distract from this
