full art gloom pokemon card #44 [Fire] x2 Retreat Cost Gloom (Genetic Apex #228/226, 1-Star)

I blame this partially on the Gatewatch fatigue that was going on at the timeas the block was really Chandras storyand the fact that Wizards really has no idea which characters are going to take off

Here is a quick overview of what you need to know about this anniversary expansion: Set Name: The World's Strongest Warriors Release Window: August 2026 Set code: OP-17 Guide: OP-17 The World's Strongest Warriors: Everything you should know about this release Core Theme: Elbaph Arc, Land of Giants and the legendary Emperors of the Sea

X-spells is a niche archetype with better commanders, but you could do worse than a Metalworker that draws you the big card youre going to sink all that mana into

Smee Loyal First Mate, Gaston Arrogant Hunter, and Merlin Self-Appointed Mentor Uncommons: Dragon Fire, Lilo Galactic Hero, and Goofy Muskateer Rare or above: Jafar Keeper of Secrets (Rare), and Ariel Whoseit Collector (Rare) Foil: Friends On The Other Side (Common) A basic pull pack with 2 rares and a common foil

Two cards with the same name can differ many times over in value depending on set, collector number, foil treatment, and condition, so you read those off the card before you price anything

This cards adventure also synergizes well with this effect, as it gives you a chance to hit a big creature to cheat out later
