The concept of Shining Pokmon was carried over to the e-Series in the form of Crystal Pokmon in the Aquapolis and Skyridge Expansions, although actual alternate color Pokmon would not be seen in the TCG again until EX Team Rocket Returns in the form of Pokmon Star
I would mainly use this card for spread damage but if you need an attacker that does a fair amount of damage Surf isn't a bad move and since this card is a basic you don't have to spend time evolving to get to Lapras to do the 60 damage
While surpassed in some aspects by a few more recent green cards like Setessan Champion, you still can't go wrong with old Mesa Enchantress , provided you've got a high enchantment count in your deck
As lead designer of Scars of Mirrodin , I'm especially pleased to see this cycle of five "fast lands" return to Standard with new beautiful artwork
A Mull to 6 rate above 20% is a strong signal that the land count, color distribution, or both need adjustment
FromTheShire: This is actually quite powerful, it's flying so you can repeatedly get through, it can be tutored for and recurred by The First Doctor, cascade lets you cheat mana costs which is excellent, AND you can choose to planeswalk if you're on a plane that is bad for your game plan
