Shining Pokemon were introduced in the previous set, Neo Revelation, and were very hard to get hold of, found in one pack in every 300 on average
Lita, Cog Halo As described the concept is, have lots of Mana Dorks to get extra mana on my turns, Lita (or Unwinding Clock) then untaps them giving me extra mana during my opponents turns, what I want to do is grant my Artifacts Flash (Shimmer Myr, Gandalf, Liberator, Vedalken Orrery etc) so I can play stuff during my opponents turns by tapping my manadorks, or sink that Mana into other outlets like Dawn of Hope, Platoon Dispenser, some land effects etc
Nalia deArnise Nalia de'Arnise also gets a bump above the rest because its such an amazing payoff for the decks that support it
Sometimes this involves a valuable board wipe
eyerestricter didn't specify how difficult this deck is to play
Shrieking Drake's ability doesn't target any creature
