As a result of this, The Deck of Many Things is probably your worst bet if you actually want to win a game with an AltCon card in Standard
Not as reliably as the Shepherd, but Riddler more than makes up for that with a much better body late game
The bid system helps a lot here because buyers can offer below your ask, which keeps inventory liquid even when someone isn't ready to pay your full price right now

I've confirmed my favorable matchups, identified Lugia as a challenging opponent, and found that, theoretically, I should win 67% of my matcheswhich wont happen as I face the worlds best, but Ill definitely do my best (and read my notes before the 50 minutes starts ticking)
Several of these are $6.99 at the moment, and the most expensive is Shipwreck Marsh at $11.99
