I intentionally went for higher-value cards not only because they had higher margins (and downside protection against occasional losses) but also because of their enhanced liquidity/sales volume (they are generally more sought-after cards despite their relative rarity)
With no way for either of us to win in Game 3, the match ended in a tie and with a 2-2-1 record, I was out of contention for Day 2 and was effectively knocked out of the Pokmon TCG World Championship
How much is a Japanese SAR card worth
I also think the fact that it can remove Planewalkers is relevant, thanks to another card on this list and the chatter we're hearing about Reality Fracture
Onchain sentiment, however, tells a more measured story
Invasion of Ikoria can Tutor for Vampire Hexmage, which can then be sacrificed to remove all the defense counters from the Battle, which transforms into a massive eight-power Dinosaur that can deal combat damage as though it werent blocked
