full art lillie pokemon card Preserved in a tamper Lillie (Celestial Guardians #197/239, 2-Stars)

Since Disney Lorcana launched in 2023, its fair to say that its been a massive critical and commercial success

Creates High Barrier to Entry Weve mentioned more than once in the past that were not likely to ever again invoke this category, because the barrier to entry is not just cost, but availability

The full art is equally gorgeous, with Tomohitos sharp lines and packed-in details really bringing the characters wildly different sides to life

While not as effective in EDH, its good at making tokens here and there, and gets bonus points in cleric decks

Hopefully, once the Battle of the Five Armies Co-Op Kit rolls around in 2027, Thranduil the Strategist will become significantly more affordable

You could lean heavily into this with cards like Living Death and Haunting Voyage
