Making Legends Playable! (Without Legend Box!)

[Reader1237]

I think I have found a card that makes Legends some what playable in the current format.

Furret SW

Search you deck for up to 2 cards and put them in to your hand. Shuffle your deck afterwards.


This no energy attack can let you search for a whole legend card and you can play it next turn!!
I think this overcomes the hardest part about playing legends which is getting both pieces to put in play.


Thoughts?

I'm not sure who seemed to think Legend Box makes Legends much more playable. It's a handy little tip, but it's not like it makes or breaks a Legend deck.

Isn't 4 Bebe, 1 Lux Ball and 4 Communication enough?

Legend Box isnt hyped because of the search part. Its hyped because it can fully power a legend in 1 turn.

It's not like that ability is terribly reliable anyway. Top 10 cards of your deck to search for a specific pair of cards, and then ONLY if you get those cards you get to attach all the energy you find?

Iunno. It sounds nice. But I still don't think it makes Legends much more playable than they already are.

^Agreed. Its a LEGEND equivalent to Level MAX the way I see hit. Very hit or miss, not very reliable.

Excuse me if this has already been said,but on to the point.
1.Furret is a low HP stage 1.
2.It's an attack,so you can't set during the same turn. Cyrus's conspiracy and other hand disuption can discard/shuffle them into the deck and you'll have to search again if furret doesn't die.
3.You can't 1 turn set up a legend unless you run energy accel.

So the cons stack up. Legends are a fun deck to play (I'm trying to think of some sort of Lugia w/ energy retrieval) but nothing that can donk or make them fast. Maybe when legend box comes out. Legends might be played. Espeicailly darkrai & cresselia legend. When it comes out.

The only way legends are near playable are as a tech. Even then, only Entei/Raikou, and even then, not so well. The legends sound good, but I think their insane weaknesses, 2 prize penalty, and large energy cost make them unplayable (Entei/Raikou has a two energy cost, which is one of the reasons why it is near playable). I especially don't get the hype of Darkrai/Cresselia Legend, as its attacks aren't any good, and the more hyped 100 attack is nowhere near worth the energy, even if it didn't have the discard. 100 for 4 on a pokemon with two X2 weaknesses and worth two prizes just isn't good enough.
