Given the V-heavy leaning of Silver Tempest, Serena is an excellent new addition to the range of Trainers. She has two abilities, and you can pick whichever is most appropriate in any given situation. If you’re being bombarded by an opponent’s V, it works like a Boss’s Orders and lets you switch their active card to one of your choice from their bench. But unlike Boss’s Orders, if you pull Serena too early for that to be a useful move, you can instead use the other option, and discard up to three cards and then draw until you have five in your hand.

That’s such an excellent versatility, all the power of Boss’s Orders, but with that bonus option to reshape a starting hand before such switches are useful. And given her new arrival so late in the Sword & Shield era, it’s nice to see the card getting the full works. Alongside the regular version, there’s the above Full Art, and indeed a Rainbow Rare. They are, you’ll not be surprised to learn if you’ve noticed the waifu tendancies of such characters, pretty expensive. The Rainbow is going for $30, while the much nicer Full Art will cost you a ridiculous $60.
