I am not a fan of this type of effect because you still need the mana to cast them, but it can help a lot after a board wipe
if youre going to sacrifice them on your end step anyway, why not have a few other sacrifice outlets lying around
Mana is often the most boring aspect of the deck, so people cut too much of it out during the brewing process to jam as many fun cards as possible

2025 was a rollercoaster year for Pokmon TCG prices, with loads of ups and downs (but mostly ups), so it's not shocking that any product containing Pokmon cards is selling out extremely fast in 2026 as well - it's the 30th Anniversary, for Arceus' sake
