# Castaway #72/100 — Crystal Guardians

## Summary

Castaway fetched a Supporter, a Tool and an Energy in a single turn, a useful engine piece in EX-era decks without ever defining a format. As an uncommon trainer it was a modest pull, so interest now comes mostly from Kouki Saitou completists and nostalgic binder builders. The modelled guide sits at $4.85, up 6% over 30 days on 6 copies traded, with 149 days of inventory on the board; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
