The illustrator line reads Taiga Kasai. I count 16 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Shrouded Fable set binder is where a full Shrouded Fable set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Houndoom can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
