I started tinkering with treasure decks, trying to figure out how to make one work
The first is a triggered ability: "When this permanent enters the battlefield, target player may search their library for a card named [name], reveal it, put it into their hand, then shuffle." Note that the target player searches their library (which may be affected by effects such as that of Stranglehold) and that the card they find is revealed, even though these words aren't included in the ability's reminder text
Manually entering details like name, publisher, year, signatures, and gradingalong with fetching listings from multiple marketplacescan be time-consuming and challenging, especially for smaller platforms competing with larger communities
There aren't actually any rulings about how the player must perform the shuffle, meaning that they could theoretically conceal their shuffling completely and turn your opponent's blocking into a complete guessing game as opposed to trying to follow the shuffle around which might have been the intention of the card
But even now, after all these years, the Pokmon Trading Card Game s still one of the most engrossing entries in the series and an unparalleled introduction to the world of pocket monsters
