1) And again, you need windstorm to cover crystal. 90% of the time its not card advantage.You replace 4 energies in your deck with Call Energy, you no longer need a starter. Thats 4 cards you have extra for draw/search/w/e. Card Advantage.
... Because then you are stuck with a semi-obsolecent Pacharisu for the rest of the game if they don't knock it out. And what deck would rather run CC than set themselves up with Claydol? Empoleon is better off using It to set themselves up, and simply punish people for using their powers.
Bull. Draw is still put into almost every deck that can fit it in, and will be put into more now that GG isnt the insanely dominant monster it used to be. Draw is played in decks.
I'd sooner setup more Empoleon/Claydol/Aerodactyl/What Ever Techs on my bench than a useless 70hp basic, ty.
Possibly, in decks like that you simply do not use Call Energy. No one ever said it was going to be used in EVERY deck, but the consistancy boost at a very small price and next to no cost in space is more welcome than... a small electric rodent who can get get rid of tools.
Considering you are talking as if he said it goes in every deck, you are really one to talk about putting words in peoples mouths. An energy card that provides card advantage with no real built in restriction is amazing, one that grabs basics is just plain amazing, possibly even broken. How are you not seeing it?
2) Decks that are speed? Take advanage of your slower start without a lamb. Sacing a starter>sacing one of your main hitters.
3) Not really. At least most of the lists I've seen haven't played more then 4-5 draw.
4) I'd like to see that when your starter is one of those cards.
5) Okay, we agree here. Call isn't the play in every deck and niether is pachi.
6) No not at all. But if thats what you think then okay. And ending your turn is a pretty large price. Why is nobody playing swampert ex anymore? How am I not seeing what? I even said it was a good card. Its defaintely not broken though. But its very playable and will see play. But thats just obvious.
On another note, I noticed you skipped over my cyclone point. Any reason why or did I actually make a point?
