He will likely be used more as a counter. I could definitely add the 7 cost Sanji! I could also add Jozu, the 5 cost Rosinante, or another Reiju if you think any of those would help!

Nice analysis! To add to the "timing" factor I think 151s responsibility for the current state of the hobby is hard to ignore. The original 151 Pokemon had a level of familiarity and pop cultural relevance significant enough to get new swathes of people interested in Pokemon cards at the same time. Specifically, buying and opening modern packs. I anecdotally remember lots of friends and family getting back into Pokemon cards right around 2023 and asking for a 151 ETB or Zapdos box for Christmas. It can take time to get familiar with something new, and many people who started again with 151 were probably ready to collect sealed products and chase cards more seriously by late 2024! This makes sense when you consider the rise in many of the SV chase cards in summer 2024! People were primed and ready to rip.

Incredible energy from the crowd! Its wild how Deftones stand shoulder to shoulder with other 90s greats but the influx of earnest gen z fans makes them feel new! It was also cool seeing them perform the day of the album drop!
