pokemon card houndoom ex - 21/162 - BREAKthrough Pokémon Hit Points210 HP Form Houndoom EX 2015 Pokemon Red

At the beginning of your turn, this Wolf can practically double your board, provided that youre literally only playing Wolves

When this is dropped on turn 1, then you could easily have gained 12 or 18 life on turn 5 by the time it dies to a Rout or other mass removal effect

Ideally, you should have something that covers one-shot artifact hate (Relic of Progenitus, Tormods Crypt, etc.), the interaction thats hidden in the opponents hand (Endurance, countermagic, etc.), other problematic permanents (Dauthi Voidwalker, Sanctifier en -Vec), and sometimes enchantment with static abilities (Leyline of the Void or Rest in Peace)
