So on the advice of people I respected, I decided to stick to my guns and play Shock Lock, knowing that if any of the other decks in the format wanted to counter the now-known RowEgg/Vileplume deck, they could, and I would prey on them
Whats so cool about Brenard is that he makes an awesome Golem commander, especially since the Bant color combination covers all the various Splicer creatures that boost Golems and create one or more Golems when they enter the battlefield
Youre also revisiting the rock poster style for some of LTRs previous cards, whats so appealing about the treatment that you want to give it another spin here
In other words, if PSA already graded yours, its definitely a genuine card
The quality of this years precon was inconsistent, but the general bar has been raised compared to previous yearsnone of these are unplayable like Undead Unleashed
Example decklist: Returning decks Finally, as I alluded to, theres an important deck that has seen very little success in the current Standard format, but that can be expected to explode in popularity after rotation hits: Giratina VSTAR
