is charizard a rare pokemon card VSTAR 018/172 Brilliant Stars Why is this card so

This card is at its best in artifact decks that can utilize a bunch of Treasures for more than mana

Some collectors try to shoehorn cards into CLZs system, but it wasnt designed for it.

Changing Control of Permanents / Donate A somewhat chaotic deck type is one that thrives on exchanging control of permanents from different players

The set is chased for Dark Charizard and for Dark Raichu, the first secret rare card in the English Pokemon TCG

Settle Beyond Reality I think for the draft format this was part of, five mana probably kept this a little lower in the pick order than it could have been, but Settle Beyond Reality is an example of White removal that gives a good upside

The double exile on cast is also obviously a lot better than the destroy and does much more work than the Infinite Gyre in terms of keeping you alive long enough to attack when you are not Corspe Dancing or Sneak Attacking
