>>51275340He's fine for turn 1, and then never past that point.
What i meant in regards to a "early benchmark" is generally that most of the early gimmicks are locked to a similar power, he has a niche ability and hits hard.
Thats probably what you can expect from most other "ex"s. Regardless the grab 2 energy super early is fine as an effect, it really isn't shit.
You are vastly underestimating how retarded this would be on a cheap body if it didn't have some horrific cost.
>>51275383A stage 1 Miraidon is still pretty awful. They follow the intent of game mechanics, if the paradox idea is real; then they're not meant to be pokemon evolutions.
So i doubt it'd be a stage 1 in that scenario. The TCG has never represented something that off from the real thing, if the games treat them as one stagers, they're one stagers.
>>51275432Just discard them, its not even that hard. This has been a thing in acceleration decks before. Its awkward sure, but its certainly a feasible option.
