The rare collectible features the Johto Legendary bursting into the sky and surrounded by a flurry of gold energy
The 2002 set Torment tickled my adolescent imagination with its Faceless Butchers and Mesmeric Fiends slithering, clicking monstrosities that leered out of clouded, luminous backgrounds
And because of its quirky static ability, it can be you commander, and interacts with cards that don't normally interact with planeswalkers (think: Green Sun's Zenith)
Combine that with Crown Zeniths prestige as a celebration set and its limited distribution, and youve got yourself a dark horse gem thats climbing collector lists and marketplace prices alike
Further, I like that it encourages you to play creatures with flash to get more out of its first ability, and I love that it punishes players who play too much on other peoples turns
But doing so makes for a worse opening experience, which is part of the whole appeal of TCGs
