This member of the cycle is pretty good in any aggressive red deck in 100-card formats, helping your creatures, especially your commanders, win combat and making it more likely that you'll get the monarchy back or trigger on-attack abilities, for example
This hits the most targets and has better scaling into the late game than most
Originally released in 2000.
And yet, I never noticed as a young kid opening packs and building 75-card casual decks to play with during lunch
Cards like Escape Rope and Boss' Orders are useful in case you want to focus on taking a certain Pokemon down
The premise of the deck is to quickly get out cheap walls, build a huge defensive battlefront, and then use your commander (or one of several enchantments) to make the walls able to attack with damage equal to their toughness
