OK, this is getting a bit ridiculous. I don't know when I'll be back to work on the set, and it's basically just Carrington and me, so effective now, the rules limiting how many ex's a person can post in a row/at the same time are suspended.

Technically, Carrington, if I remember the text of Rocket's Minefield Gym correctly, Tough Shell wouldn't prevent it from going off, because Minefield Gym places damage counters as opposed to doing damage.

I quite agree -- LL for 60 is a bit much, even for an ex, and especially for a Basic ex. Tone down the damage to 40.

I'd say that it's about time to bring this set to an end. Thanks to everyone who contributed. If someone would be so kind as to prepare a setlist, I'd appreciate it.
