# Dusknoir #53/147 — Burning Shadows

## Summary

Dusknoir in Burning Shadows was a genuine tournament engine, not a shelf card: Dark Invitation fed Mind Jack and built damage on the opponent's side before attacks began, which kept it in Psychic lists. A plain Rare, so demand rests on play history and Sinnoh nostalgia, with nagimiso's name as a bonus. A $0.42 modelled guide with 2 copies traded in 30 days says bulk, and the economics stop there: PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, and the same card plays for $0.25 out of Shrouded Fable.
