# Magcargo #20/107 — Deoxys

## Summary

Magcargo's Smooth Over was a genuine deck-thinning engine in its era, letting a player set up the next draw, and that utility gave it a modest competitive following among Fire decks. As a mid-tier Rare in a Deoxys set dominated by ex chases, it draws mostly Johto Pokémon completionists and Midori Harada fans. At a $2.61 modelled guide, with 1 copy traded in 30 days, this printing is almost entirely collector premium, since the same card plays for $0.13 out of Temporal Forces; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it.
