# Friend Ball #126/144 — Skyridge

## Summary

Skyridge closed out the Wizards era, and its uncommon Trainers are scarce next to the glossy Holos, so Friend Ball rides the set's reputation more than its rarity. Its tutoring effect was a clever, if situational, deck-thinning tool, and Katsura Tabata's name adds quiet appeal for illustrator completists. The modelled guide sits at $17 with 2 copies traded in 30 days; PSA does not split this card’s population by finish, so no gem rate can be read for it, with original packs long past any pull-rate math.
