what is the value of a pikachu pokemon card - V - 043/185 Card Number / Rarity Pikachu #27 Prices | Pokemon

Blight Mamba had regeneration and generally outclasses this fellow in all areas (and I dont even like Mamba)

Seeing an opportunity with the return of Sarkhan Vol to Tarkir, the two are now at least temporarily allied as they work to bring about another movement like the Khanfall

I dont think that will stop this from becoming a popular inclusion in Dragon decks helmed by commanders such as The Ur-Dragon or Miirym, Sentinel Wyrm

One interesting thing about Isshin is that lots of Mardu cards have an attack trigger that says untap your other creatures and theres an additional attack phase. This is an excellent trigger to double, granting you multiple combat steps and potentially killing an opponent or two

Its a great infinite combo piece in certain lifegain decks, and can easily find a spot in black midrange decks in Standard
