Updated 2026-08-26

Key takeaways
  • Ranking by rarity
  • Overloading the top of the curve
  • Ignoring colour requirements
  • Copying a list without the counters

Ranking by rarity

An SSP parallel is identical in play to its base printing. Rarity is a collector axis only.

Overloading the top of the curve

Two or three expensive finishers is the ceiling before your early turns collapse.

Ignoring colour requirements

A best-card list is only useful inside a deck that can pay the costs.

Copying a list without the counters

The counter slots are what make winning lists resilient; they are the first thing casual copies drop.
