Not a bad card i must say. Damage output is relatively low but the Baby snipe and built in discard salvage makes up for it IMO.

7.75/10 for utility
9/10 for cool artwork

dig uppercut, the main attack seems to have potential, with could be worse damage and a great effect. The hp is ok and resistance is nice. what would you play it with?

I feel like excadrill has a tech potential for monofighting for the sake of card recovery and maybe a choice for future decks that have issues with darkrai or zeels. it still has an even prize trade with darkrai (assuming no max potion shenanigens -.-) and zekrom while recovering anything you might need. It might see some use with junk arm leaving.

Dig Uppercut + Black Belt = Awesome.
Dig Uppercut + Catcher = Awesome.
Dig Uppercut + Junk Arm = The Best.

Not quite as useful as Sableye if you are trying to go hard hammers, but hitting 2 of the most popular decks in the format for weakness is pretty cool. He's sturdy too, Zekrom doesn't OHKO with Bolt Strike, and can take a hit from most of the popular attackers.
Searchable with Heavy Ball is another plus.
Pair him with a nice Red Wine or Terrakion and ExpShare.

6/10. Not the best deck, but it's fun. Especially with Aerodactyl, Crushing Gammers, etc.

Black Belt and Junk Arm are rotating... :(

This could be amazing with the recovery of not only trainers (Sableye is better for trainer item recovery) but you could get a key supporter (N or Hooligans) or another Darkrai or even a special energy now that there is no lost zone (you could get a prism or soon to be released blend energy).

Perhaps but it can KO 30HP Tynamo if you are quick.
