Flip 3 coins. For each heads, put a Basic Energy card from your discard pile into your hand. If you don't have that many basic Energy cards in your discard pile, put all of them into your hand.Lancez trois pièces. Chaque fois que c'est face, prenez une carte Énergie de base de votre pile de défausse, montrez-la à votre adversaire et placez-la dans votre main. Si vous n'avez pas suffisamment de cartes Énergie dans votre pile de défausse, placez toutes vos cartes Énergie dans votre main.

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

  1. A strength

    It retreats for free. You can pull it back to the Bench whenever you like, even with no Energy on it at all.

  2. A strength

    No Weakness printed on the card. Nothing doubles up the damage it takes.

  3. Keep in mind

    None of the 5,392 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.
