Hello all,
First off i would like to set up this question. dlynch5 and i were playing a team battle against The Deuce and Brad. Both decks on my team were playing arcanine SS. My opponents were playing gardy with support. We are all professors and have been playing the game for many years. we came to a point in this game where we thought that we were going to Kill each other. Will swears by this ruling, but everyone else disagreed. He was pulling all his money out of his pocket, screaming..."i'll bet you this hundred that i'm right!" man he was HOT!
anyhow, here was the question that we were arguing over.
my turn,
i attacked with Arcanine SS that had 2 water energy and one rainbow energy attached. his attack reads as follows...
Burn Up (R)(C)(C)
Flip a coin. If tails, discard all (R) energy CARDS attached to Arcanine.
Now the question.
Should I flip tails, would I have to discard the rainbow?
To my knowledge, rainbow energy is a special energy CARD that provides every energy TYPE. It even states on the rainbow energy, (Rainbow energy NEVER counts as basic energy card!) To Wills point, he pointed out that you can move rainbow with Sceptile even though it states, grass energy CARD. both these ruling seem to be right .
Could someone please settle this. If possible please post the reference from the compendium.
this could easily come up in the city championships.
thanx,
jimmy
