Radiant Pokmon cards have quite a few peculiarities: they are always Basic Pokmon and can thus be played straight to the field, their artwork portrays their shiny colour variations, and the cards are treated with a unique foil treatment
They are a linear aggressive strategy that simply abuse the good scaling of the buff cards to empower them
So, the fact that you can also play it first down first and give something else lifelink too is nice upside
This can involve changing the text, adding a first-edition stamp, or even modifying aspects of the artwork, which does not match the original prints
Kids scarcity and art quality maintain its value despite fluctuating character popularity
