So taking the two mentioned clues of long, long time and rock and considering it is a "Best" card--why not go to what would be opposite of the current Formats. Could it be Aerodactyl? ![[Confused]](../tcg/confused.gif)
Fact: it is one of the "Best" cards from the past.
Fact: it would thoroughly disrupt the current environment causing new deck ideas- which would promote growth in the game.
Fact: Evoles from a rock or fossil and is fighting.
Fact: was around a "..long, long time..." ago.
Just a thought. Especially with the rerelease of Base Buzz. Going back to BBP. Could be a wrench in the metagame.
But again, just a thought outside of the "Rock" ![[Eek!]](../tcg/eek.gif)
The rock thing sounds a little farfetched ... still interesting tho.
what did this Rocket man thing come from anyway ?
Aerodactyl sounds really interesting just cuz its a pderotactyl and yea those existed a long, long time ago. It would definately make a competitive deck preventing evolutions to be played and all o_O ...

That's a nice fake Sneasel - the card is not RH and the "Best of..." set stamp is in the wrong spot.

Thinking out loud again. Taking the lyric everyone seems to be focusing on, is it possible to miss the intention of Identifying the artist. Elton John in the 70's was the "Clown" Prince so to speak with all of the outfits and the make-up. By this point you may see where I am going-
MR. MIME!!
Could it ber a reflection of the Artist and not the actual song at all.

Lol they shuld reprint ditto.. It that supposed to be a joke? hehe..
That was the reason why they started with MMF right becouse all of the rulings and all the problems on that card. That would just make problems with the ditto i hope they never reprint that card. I still get questions on league about that card.

Whatever happens, let us hope nobody in higher managment decides to re-release Fossil Aerodactyl. Modified would be crazy with him, Healing Fields, Buzz, Tyrouge, Murkrow, etc.
I mean compaired with the ever-confusing Ditto I'd have to say:
Fossil Aerodactyl > Fossil Ditto
That would be broken in Modified.

I just wanted to agree with Themcster, Rockets Sneasel IS the promo for January. Now why it is #5 I don't know, but if you want the answer to that you better ask the MT's. Some stores have already recieved the kits for January and I know for a fact that the promo is #5 Rocket's Sneasel. Oh and the classic promo is a certain reverse holo energy ![[Smile]](../tcg/smile.gif)

Sorry but no the Best of promos are cards that have already been released and were banned within the mmf format to bring in a new card would defeat the whole Best of name imo and look at the sneasel he just plain sucks, plus that the symbol is in the wrong spot and what not.

Plus the auction was ended before the card was sold by the vendor. Looks like a good fake and a good red herring all for the cost of an ebay listing

If they are fake like all of you are determined they are, why is there another ebay auction with a completely different scan of the card up? Trust me, I talked to wizards today, it is the new promo for January.

Okay, I don't know how many times I've said this but..
All promo cards- reissues or brand new ones- are now called "Best of Game" cards. There will be no more black star promos. (You can even check a chat transcript for that one)

What used to be a black star promo sign, now is "best". If Electabuzz is "best" #1 December BZ promo, and Rocket Sneasle (assuming it's not fake) is "best" #5 January BZ promo, where are 2,3, and 4?

Anyways,MT Mike confirmed that the Sneasel #5 is indeed the "Best" promo for January BattleZone at todays chat.He also mentioned that,just like the older promo`s,they will sometimes be issued "out of order" so 2-4 will be out in the near future.
