Anyway, lockdown happened and I suddenly had a lot of time on my hands so decided to revisit my collection and Pokemon in general (possibly the best decision of my life btw)
This transparency is great for learning about your card
Kozilek helps solve ramps two biggest weaknesses
The set focuses on abilities that require players to perform physical actions (see: Mesa Chicken), but many of its other elements have made their way into black-bordered releases
Devouring three creatures will produce nine counters, and so on. It doesnt help that Devour is a niche mechanic appearing only on a handful of cards from way back in Shards block and with spotty support in supplemental sets since
The aesthetic appeal of its design, combined with its functional role in the games, ensures its presence is felt, even if it doesn't take center stage like some of its more powerful counterparts
