Hand "refreshment"

[The Gorn]

So am I right when I say that we've lost

- Rocket's Admin
- Copycat
- prof Oaks Research

Is there ANY card available right now where I shuffle my hand into my deck and draw a new number of cards?

[pokeguru]

Claydol DX, if I remember correctly, had the same effect as Copycat.

[moza]

^ yeah, it does, but it has to be active :(

Copycat and POR are rumered to be reprinted in DF, so if you can wait another month...

[Sandslash7]

Yeah, fortunately we get DF before cities. No shuffle and draw trainers would kill.

[Hatter™]

^ it wouldnt kill at all im kinda mad they are reprinting the "refreshment" cards. i would of liked a format without those kind of cards

JMO though

[Sandslash7]

I think the format would turn into: Who could keep themselves from decking but still set up fast enough to win on prizes or time. (NVM, thats what deck builidng is right now and what it always will be)

The idea does have merit though, it would be interesting what kinds of decks would thrive in that kind of format though. The only problem I have with it is having bad hands at the start of the game would be more of a problem. With Copycat and POR, the chance of coming back from an ugly start is better.

well to keep from non decking isnt that hard-- Holon Farmer

and if you get a bad start, with the huge holon engines and search cards available there shouldnt be a problem in recovering from it in a turn or 2 at the worst. I have started with Holon Magnemite a few times and 2 turns later I have had a fully powered machamp(had DRE on it) out and a Machoke also out

I'd make a Ttar ex deck if oaks research and copycat weren't legal.
