Why it matters
Legality gates must prevent adjacent-talent cards from bleeding into unrelated hero guides.
Legality notes
Not legal for Ira; only evaluate for heroes/products with Lightning access and current format legality.
Watchlist notes
Buy first for play value; avoid treating as long-term value hold.
