Chart shows the price of M Mewtwo EX #160 at the end of each month going back as long as we have tracked the item.
Marvel Snap may have significantly more characters to choose from - over 80,000 believe it or not - but since each character only appears once, albeit with different artwork variants, there are only 257 cards available
Theres plenty of these in red and blue, including Murmuring Mystic, Young Pyromancer, Metallurgic Summonings and even Manaform Hellkite
Skip the $20+ cards (Thrumming Stone, Coat of Arms, Cover of Darkness) and the deck still hums: Commander: Karumonix, the Rat King (~$1) Engines: Pack Rat (~$3.30), Piper of the Swarm (~$3), Ogre Slumlord (~$0.45), a couple of Relentless Rats / Rat Colony (~$56 each cap the copies to stay on budget) Payoffs/utility: Crypt Rats (~$0.50), Nezumi Bone-Reader (~$0.40), Bontu the Glorified (~$3) as a sac outlet, Throne of the God-Pharaoh only if budget allows The rest: cheap black removal, Swamps, and a Sol Ring The whole list comes in well under $50, and it scales up gracefully add Marrow-Gnawer and Thrumming Stone later and the same shell jumps several power levels
Systems Override (Uncommon) A personal favorite
The set and block had a multicolor theme
