Granted you find it a bit controversial as you said, but it is nonetheless a good card. <br /><br />''Jos väittää Bicyclea hyväksi, en tajua miksi pelaa tätäFrezenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3288163204748704829.post-89805810463444172582012-10-25T08:36:48.703+03:002012-10-25T08:36:48.703+03:00I realised the the nee set does not give rayeel de...I realised the the nee set does not give rayeel deck any new possibilty to explore, it would seem that darkrai deck are gaining more and more cards assisting it...Madnessloidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3288163204748704829.post-89769973231646286692012-10-24T16:07:43.475+03:002012-10-24T16:07:43.475+03:00Hey Esa, I am wondering if in Japan, Eelektrik/Ray...Hey Esa, I am wondering if in Japan, Eelektrik/Rayquaza or Zekrom/Mewtwo/Eelektrik is still played even though Landorus EX has been released.

With Colress Machine and Victini EX, you have a T2 Lugia EX taking prize cards, which can end the game in just 3-4 turns. Of course it opens up chances for cards like Gallade as well. It can also make Fire decks viable at last since it will work the best in Fire decks.<br /><br />josh graham: Definitely.

It seems like a very versatile card, with the potential for big energy acceleration on the first turn, a “Gold Breaker“ like attack, and the potential for a dedicated turn 1 deck with Skyla to find that Ace Spec tool.
