pokemon infernape card TCG - 173/167 Illustration Rare Twilight Masquerade NM Attack 2 Infernape Ex Holographic Pokémon TCG

Ultimately this is probably a better mechanic than the VMAX before it, leading to the game still being played with a focus on Stage 2 Pokemon, and all the accouterments that come with those sots of decks that make them distinct from decks focused on basic Pokemon or even Stage 1 Pokemon

While this ability can only be done at sorcery speed, you do get to mess with your opponents a bit

Afterwards, the cards are revealed one-by-one, requiring another finger swipe to move to the next card, allowing you ample time to inspect each one

You could also consider Stonjourner (121) from this set as an option, as it is another Basic Pokmon, has a solid 130 HP but also has a strong Ability, Exoskeleton , which reduces the damage it takes by 20 from attacks (including your own, though thats not relevant here)

Which of You Burns Brightest

They want you empty-handed as soon as possible, so expect some heinous discard spells like Mind Twist and Dark Deal coming your way
