Night Maintence RULES and Time-Space Distortion DROOLS!!!
Mysterious Treasures was a godsend to the format if you look at the trainers it introduced to the game. One of those trainers was Night Maintenance.
Night Maintenance is a refurbished version of the old Nightly Garbage Run. I guess PUI got politically correct and renamed the Garbage Run, Maintenance. Because of the name change, you can't use the old one in tournaments, which is a little sad.
Night Maintenance fills one of the holes that was left when the GODLY Holon Engine was rotated out. That hole is pokemon/energy retrieval from the discard pile. And I think Night Maintenance deserves a raise, because I feel it does the job pretty well.
Night Maintenance reads:
Search your discard pile for up to 3 in any combination of Pokemon and basic Energy cards. Show them to your opponent and shuffle them into your deck.
Look at the old bold word, combination. This is one of the best things about this card and makes it better than other Night Maintenance posers (I'm looking at your Time-Space Distortion o_o). This card can bring back any combination of basic energy and pokemon. That means that you can use the card for 3 uses. You can get back 3 basic energy if your a deck like Feraligatr, or get back 3 pokemon if your Absolutions (hehe, if it were still in the format), or you can get a combination of 3 like 1 pokemon and 2 basic energy (Castform maybe). So, it's clear to see this card has many uses in any kind of diverse format.
If you look at the top right of the card, you will notice an absence of the word Supporter. Yes, that is correct, Night Maintenance is not a supporter. No, this is not fiction, and no I am not trying to sell you anything. This is not a lie and Night Maintenance IS everything you think it is...great, awesome, the bee-gees, etc.
Do I need to continue?

Unlimited - Who plays this format?
Limited - Play every trainer you get that isn't Night Pokemon Center (Is that even a trainer?)
Modified - This card is...GRRRRRReat! Spread the love and let all your decks abuse it in their own little way.
