2 V Guard Energy 30 damage might not sound like a lot in a day and age when Pokemon can have north of 350 HP, but it's still squarely in that make-or-break range where a mighty strike might be just shy of knocking out one of these behemoths
However, as mentioned, there is a precedent for the Pokmon TCG having a short series of cards
While the Palm is strong, it's important to understand its limitations compared to previous effects that cost more mana but that were a lot more potent
As a result, this cycle is probably going to contain the most expensive cards in the set, at least at the beginning
OP-05 was the first set to include three Comic Parallel (Manga Rare) cards Monkey D
That means its highly unlikely we want any spells that actually cost three mana no Courser of Kruphix, no Temur Charm, no Goblin Rabblemaster, no Savage Knuckleblade
