# Starly #145/189 — Darkness Ablaze

## Summary

Starly is a bulk common, but a quietly clever one: its Sky Circus ability pairs with Bird Keeper to cast away attack costs, and Keen Eye fetches two cards, a niche trick for tinkerers rather than a competitive pillar. Naoyo Kimura's work adds a little charm for Sinnoh completionists. The modelled guide sits at $0.06, up 50% over 30 days on 295 copies traded, with 228 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.
