pokemon card kingdra EX #131 EXTENDED ART Colorless Retreat Cost Pokemon Card "Kingdra" sv6a 077/064

Because splicing is an additional cost you pay while casting the spell (like kicker), theres no opportunity for an opponent to affect your ability to pay the splice cost because theres no in between casting the spell and splicing onto it

While Super Shredder isnt self-enabling, the simplicity of the trigger opens up so many options

Don't try and answer parts of a strategy that don't impact your own gameplan or just win your opponent the game

Such exclusivity and scarcity drastically increases the value of this Mega Latios ex card

Still, getting two uses out of every historic card in your deck is a pretty good deal
