# Lugia V #185/195 — Silver Tempest

## Summary

Lugia V was a defining deck of its Standard format, with Read the Wind feeding the Archeops engine that powered one of the era's strongest decks. Add Lugia's Gen II guardian-of-the-seas standing and 5ban Graphics' long-running Pokémon work, and the demand holds from both players and fans. The modelled guide sits at $17, down 2% over 30 days on 147 copies traded, with 29 days of inventory on the board; a CGC 10 brings $146, 8.5 times raw, but a 44% gem rate against $45 of fees makes grading a losing trade.
