2009-10-9 VS Seeker SV 140/147

[i like burdn of a day]

1st! Its alright. i mean IMO its a dead card in an opening hand. i wouldn't use it JMO. 2/10

[Alakalen]

IMO a very good card, late in game it bascially allows you to use whatever supporter you want even if you have used all that you run, a staple card, at least as far as Im concerned

[toj1988]

This is one of the few cards that has a place in every deck. It was used as a one-of when FRLG came out, and it should be used the same now. This is just like Crystal Shard and Strength Charm. There is always room for this in a deck.

10/10

[Nobodys]

Good way to make sure you're pumping supporters every turn even mid game. Also can squeeze an extra use out of something you'd normally only be forced to use 4 times because of the card limit. Would be awesome to get a Roseanne's or Cyrus back - or even late game disruption... Definately pwnz Marley's Request :P


8/10

[thepliskin5005]

i use this with my sp deck.....heres a great idea with this card have marleys request in your deck and when you use marleys requet show them vs seeker or any suporter card of choice

[Dichromate]

VS Seeker is definitely a very underrated card. Having a VS Seeker essentially duplicates any supporter you've used and gives you more versatility mid to late game. Need a specific Pokemon? Grab Bebe's. Need some more energies? Search out Roseanne's. Running an annoying SP Deck? Find Cyrus's Conspiracy! It also allows supporters that don't constitute a majority of a deck to be reused, great for decks that run a variety of supporters. Of course, it's not that great early game, but overall it's a card with few, if any, drawbacks and great potential.

8.5/10

[sixquack]

Like having a 5th Roseanne's, Bebe, Cyrus, etc... Will improve if some of the deck/card manipulating Pokemon leave the arena.

7/10

[Dennis Hawk]

Nice card. Goes well for decks with Sableye, or in SP decks using some one-of supporters. I recently won the game as VS seeker allowed me the access to second Aaron which had been used early enough.

Of course, it is usually a dead card in opening hand if you look to burn the cards T1, but T2 (should you go second) and after it can prove useful. Same goes with Night Maintenance, Aaron, any Lv.X card... and still they are being used in better decks.

If you have maxed out the Important Supporters in your deck, here's an awesome way to gain the access for one more.

8/10.

[TheGeneral]

5 cyrus in one game? Yes please :)

9.5/10 (would be 10, but the opening hand thing lol)

[MrDrif]

Great card with Porygon2. 9/10.

[Regis_Neo]

Today's CotD is VS Seeker from SV, a great reprint. Letting you grab a Supporter out of your discard may not seem like much, but considering how limited Supporter searching is from the deck (basically Cryus's Conspiracy, which in itself is a Supporter), this card can easily give you access to a needed Supporter you played earlier in the game. And of course, Porygon2 loves this

Modified - 9/10 (A good idea to carry 1-2 of these in your deck, never know when you might need it)
Limited - 7/10 (If you grab any Supporters, go ahead and add this. Otherwise, if you get no Supporters, don't bother obviously)
Unlimited - 8/10 (A great way to nab back Supporters)

[emodicer]

This is a very useful card and is one of the better cards in Supreme Victors.

The effect is simple: get a Supporter from the discard pile and put it in your hand. The ability to re-use one of your Supporters is very invaluable especially mid-to-late game. An example is during late game, when you have already used all your Bebe's but you have a Night Maintenance in your hand, as well as VS Seeker, you can then proceed to recycle your Pokemon.

Pretty much, this card is like an additional Supporter and as such, every deck can make good use of it, moreso for decks that run Porygon2 and Startaptor FB LV. X. Another great plus is it does not have drawbacks- no flip, no return to deck, nil. Although it may be good in any deck, 1 or 2 should be enough (you would not want 4 VS Seekers in your opening hand, would you?).

Modified- 8/10 (having it in your starting hand is annoying but everyone still plays Night Maintenance, right?)
Limited- 6.5/10 (it is situational here since there is a lower chance to have a Supporter in the deck. Although if you manage to include one, then there's no reason for you not to include VS Seeker)

[spastman]

It can also works very good in decks with palmers, or in decks with Porygon 2.
And it can be very well in SP-decks, (Aaron, Cyrus, ...) so i have it 7,5/10

[The Gorn]

Nice in that after you have a variety of supporters in your discard pile, you have your choice of which one you want to use. Great mid to late game.

And if a supporter gets discarded due to Flygon Lv.X, big deal. Use VS Seeker to use that supporter.

[xcfrisco]

Awesome in SP decks. being able to use a 5th Cyrus for that last Energy+poketurn or power spray can be really game changing. I especially like being able to Cyrus for a bebe's or roseanne's instead of another Cyrus if i have this in my hand, just to be well prepared for what my oppponent does during his turn.

9/10

[pikkdogs]

This card is one that has been getting quite a bit of hype, but when I look at it, I just say blah.

Well first the basics of the card, you discard this card and then put a supporter from your discard pile into your hand,
lets look at the positives and negatives

Positives
Can give you a choice of what supporter you want to play
Can let you basically use a supporter 5 times
Can be used in any deck

Negatives
Dead card in your hand for the first 4-5 turns.
Most decks dont run 4 supporters of one type. So you might as well just run another supprter so you dont get a dead card the first couple turns.
Most decks have lots of drawing power where you cand find all the supporters you need,

So in the end, there are positives and negatives. If you dont use claydol you might need this card a little bit. But really this card is not that neccesarry, decks are usually full by themselves, they dont need junk cards like this.

6/10

[vanderbilt_grad]

^ This isn't a dead card early game.

The easy example is if you start with this, Bebe's, and need claydol. Bebe's for Baltoy. Next turn VS it back and get your Claydol.

Yes the odds of it being useful go up the longer the game goes on and the bigger your discard pile gets, but it had a shot at being useful nearly any turn after you are first able to play Supporters.

I like 1 or 2 in most decks.

7/10

[Deoxys Cool Form]

Really good card. Every deck should play 1-2 of these. It is so good with Palmers, Cynthia's you name it.

7/10

[Progress]

I always liked this card alot.

Good in any format with a variety of useful supporters.
