charizard v pokemon cards Pokémon Gold Card, Fan Art end display Shiny Charizard V Gx Vmax

While the Standard Open itself didn't go so well for me, I did manage to snag a 1st place win in the Standard Classic event on Sunday with one of my favorite style of decks: Tezzeret with lots of artifacts

At first glance, Garna, Bloodfist of Keld can feel a bit pointless

It's definitely one of the Into the Inklands cards that deserved an Enchanted treatment, and Ravensburger did not disappoint

Then you can bring it back as a 1/1 with persist and get another Negate and another trigger

Self mill and reanimator can be a strong combination, but newer players often don't see the value in losing cards and milling an important spell you can't get back is a major feelbad
