malefic deck yugioh DUOV-EN049 - Territory - Ultra Rare Malefic deck with 10k atk

The Spikey-Eared Pichu card was created as an entry for a drawing content held across a dozen children's magazines in Japan during 2009, as part of the promotion around Pokmon movie Arceus and the Jewel of Life

Getting a card professionally graded confirms its condition

Not only can you run any aura you want without color restriction, but it can ramp and refill your hand, too

To get to its effects in the graveyard, the deck has a "Mill" mechanic, and even its trap cards have effects when sent to the graveyard by effects

While this commanders ultimate is a little underwhelming compared to some of the other flip-walkers in this set, its also relatively easy to get off, and can be very impactful depending on your opponents board states
