If you want to connect things from the game to later material from the anime, I dont mind too much, but I dont want this to just be a greatest hits discussion about 5Ds where the thread just becomes pages and pages of discussion about the series as a whole
The developers focused on the themes of "beauty", "bond", and "evolution", and it is based on these themes that they created the games' core mechanic where Pokmon could achieve a higher form of evolution by strengthening their bonds with trainers
This can push some other cards up, though
Dihada's first ability gives a legendary creature you control a plethora of keywords until your next turn, making them the perfect defender against your opponent's incoming attacks
This card was also one of the earliest examples of the type of promotional cards used to introduce Pokmon to the wider Western audience
in part this is due to an influx of players coming to MTGO this Fall, many of whom are f2p veterans and aren't used to a trading card game economy
