Ignition Energy
Ignition Energy has appeared in several sets: White Flare (WHT 86) and Phantasmal Flames (PFL 124). It is the same card every time — it plays the same, only the artwork and the price change. Here is what it does once it is on the table.

WHAT IT HAS GOING FOR IT
- Mega Starmie ex / Dusknoir runs it in 43 of the 44 lists we have read, seen across 37 different tournaments.
- No Weakness printed on the card. Nothing doubles up the damage it takes.
- Mark I. The next rotation takes mark H away, so this one stays tournament legal.
