At one point in my games, my Yshtola opponent ended up with 50 health, as opposed to everyone else being in the low 20s
Whats more, the cost to play the Sheriff of Nottingham and The Bayou, then move Beast to The Bayou, amounts to just six ink in total
Babiri Berry Tool Whenever the Pokmon this card is attached to is damaged by an attack from your opponents Metal-type Pokmon, this Pokmon takes 60 less damage from that attack (after applying Weakness and Resistance)
