The back half of this battle, Zilortha, Apex of Ikoria, makes itself and the creature you tutored for (and all of your other non-humans!) effectively unblockable

Short of control decks, if you are playing with red cards, you are playing with max copies of Lightning Bolt

Same with all your holofoil Pikachu, reverse holofoil Pikachu cards, and so on
