Whether it's among the most expensive cards in Darkness Ablaze or taking the crown for the base set's most valuable starter, Charizard is always desirable
It still sees some play in Modern (by myself, if no-one else)
Ive always been a big believer in dont mess with my food
It saves your entire board, blanks lethal attacks, and often swings games that look completely lost
While it does scale down in the late game, a three-mana draw-three in the early to mid-game is great, and giving your opponents cards with it might not even be bad, especially if you run effects that profit off of exactly this
Unlike pristine cards, centering is allowed at 55/45 or better on the front, and 75/25 or better on the back
