## Resource

Back from a holiday break, Aaron and John sat down to review the history of decks involving Gardevoir ex since its introduction in the Scarlet & Violet base set. The card has a long history of adaptability and has taken many forms in its time in the tcg so hopefully you learn something. If you feel like there's something we missed, let us know!
