pokemon cards ekans - 36/73 - Shining Legends Fx2 / None / 1 SV05 Ekans (Genetic Apex #164/226, 1-Diamond)

Particularly when it isn't adding a non-combo card to the list

Archangel of Thune ($65.15 the premium payoff) puts a +1/+1 counter on your entire team each time you gain, which snowballs absurdly with a Soul Warden and a few tokens

This works wonders alongside token doublers like Parallel Lives or Anointed Procession, which can multiply the value of your copies

Otherwise, you may cast it without paying its mana cost

The sideboard primarily focuses on tuning the removal, though it also lets it add a bit more power against other players relying on an attrition strategy with powerful planeswalkers and Reality Smasher
