I think I may have a solution that someone could suggest to Dave regarding Archeops. I think we should not ban it, but treat it as a stage 2, since that is what is printed on the card (which would seem like an important factor, IMO), and we treat the "restored" pokemon like they are stage 1. I make this argument because Skyarrow Bridge does not apply to restored pokemon (like Aerodactyl) meaning that they are not basic. So if they aren't basic, and they're not stage 2, then I say we treat Archen (and Aerodactyl and the little turtle guy) like a stage 1, and Archeops like a stage 2. So now it would be harder to get Archeops in play and perhaps we could see some stage 2 decks become a little more viable. What do you guys think?
