mcdonald's pokemon cards 2019 Eevee Collection | Pokémon 10 Most Valuable McDonald's Pokémon

If you dont have the mana for the card Transmute Artifact tutored for, or you simply dont wish to pay it, you can just let your tutored card go to the graveyard like a more expensive Entomb, allowing you to bring it back later with an effect like Reconstruction or Argivian Restoration

Neither creature is ever affected

Creatures can be vanilla, and you can still tap them for convoke

Again, this isn't to say reactive answers, like generic removal, aren't good

Vintage kept its restricted list, because some people wanted to play with powerful cards (and also because Type 1.5, aka legacy had started to take root, which, at the time, was just vintage with the restricted list renamed "banned list"), but in standard, you already couldn't play with all your cards, so there really wasn't any good reason to keep a restricted list

This creates further incentive for your opponents to not attack you, helping to keep the cards flowing in your direction
