Design: The design of a Pokemon card can also play a role in its coolness factor
That said, the cards I loved the most from Yugioh were the big juicy 'pay life' cards, stuff like Mirror Wall could be devastating (better than Mirror Force if you have a reasonable board!), Solemn Judgement was insane, both were cards people in my meta hated because you paid life (they never noticed that Mirror Wall was a Trap card or something idk, I had played Magic before at least), these were among my favorite cards, at least I got my Judgement really easily, they thought it was a terrible card, I mean, half your life for a better Force of Will, who would play THAT poop tier card (I obviously would lol)
The thing the serpents are fighting with on both faces of the card is the foot of a Phyrexian which is obviously significantly larger
Molten Duplication This card is another example of a familiar genre of spell for mono-red
