4 Ahoy Mateys Whats Yours Is Mine All four of the Commander decks from Lost Caverns of Ixalan are designed around a theme, and Ahoy Mateys is all about Pirates

This gives you 28 packs of authentic opening experience at reasonable cost while targeting singles for the expensive cards (Mewtwo V Alt Art, Dragonite VSTAR, Rainbow Rares)

For example, Reliquary Tower from Core 2019 sells for about $3.00

The card's artwork features Blastoise using its Hydro Pump attack, which sends water blasting out of its cannons

These items provide ways to discard your Dragon-type Pokmon, retrieve what you need from your deck, and accelerate Energy onto Regidrago VSTAR

This will also likely help keep the price of these cards down, and even if they do fetch a premium, it won't be a wholly unreasonable one
