To add to this, it's an especially good idea to spend your Pack Points on cards that don't appear in the pack type you're focusing on
Both are nice additions to the Starter Decks already being offered from previous sets, and they're both built in a way that should be easy enough to learn from a newcomer's perspective
For Base Set, the actual sequence length could be as low as 3 (1 holo in every third pack, though it probably isnt as that would mean all the holos would be in packs with the same pack art), however I am going to be using a sequence length 216 packs (1 case of 6 booster boxes with 36 packs each) for all (or at least most) sets from generation 1 to generation 5, as the lowest insertion rate I found for this era was 1 per case
Regardless of the small weakness, Amy easily sits up there with cards like Ardenn, Intrepid Archaeologist
