ReCall of Legends: "If Only" English Exclusives?!

[Shino Bug Master]

ReCall of Legends; Lost World, Not a Lost Cause!​

Well, as we know, its T minues 10 days til the rotation, where we have only a 6 set block to work with, but do we REALLY have a 6 block set to work with? More like 5 and a handful, thanks to the utter reprintfest of Call of Legends, one of the least appreciated sets in TCG history. And now we have heard announcements that show and support we will be getting English Exclusive cards in our next set of BLW, Emerging Powers. So obviously, there isn't that big a deal of English exclusives, which makes you wonder: Where would we be had they made CoL a real set?

So in my infinite boredom over summer, until something else finds better use for my time, I present what to me would've made a nice, balanced set that CoL could've been, keeping in cards like Tangrowth, Lucairo and Pachi that actually are new to the game.

JOINING OF POWERS, BATTLE OF FORCES, (Re)CALL OF LEGENDS

Their names are legend: Articuno, Zapdos, Moltres, Manaphy, Latios, Latias, Regigias, Heatran, Giritina, Arceus and when Legendary Pokémon from the corners of the Pokemon world come together, only the greatest Trainers will stand to control their might.

In the Pokémon TCG: Call of Legends expansion, not only will you discover incredibly powerful Pokémon - including very rare LEGEND combinations of some of them - but you’ll also find exciting new Lost Zone effects to expand your gameplay choices and a bundle of baby Pokemon sure to test the soft of heart. The Legendary Pokémon have gathered - are you ready to answer the paramount call?

Supporter

Discard one card at random from your opponent’s hand. Then flip 3 coins. For each heads, discard an additional card at random from your opponent’s hands.

Lost Energy

Special Energy

Attach this energy to one of your Pokemon. As long as this card is attached to that Pokemon, it provides [C] energy. If the Pokemon this card's attached to is a Stage 2 Pokemon, this card provides 2 energy of the same type as the Pokemon it's attached to.

[ShuckleLVX]

Waiters is too good. The net gain of 99% of straight draw supporters is 2, it has 3 AND a chance for 4.

 

[gurellia53]

recall?

[Shino Bug Master]

Waiters is too good. The net gain of 99% of straight draw supporters is 2, it has 3 AND a chance for 4.

Fair enough. But the card was intended as a draw and cycle card, and the potential 4th card being revealed and given to your opponent made it seem somewhat fair. Like a Cheerleaders that can go in your favor or a Cheren's the goes in your opponent's favor.

 

[ShuckleLVX]

In the past, the sacrifice has been for the third card, not a forth. Fieldworker is similar - you give up a card to your opponent (or, in this case, a chance at a card for your opponent) for an extra card yourself (or in this case a chance at an extra card yourself.)
It goes back to net gain - Fieldworker, you get 3, give 1, making your net gain 2. Felicities, discard 1 for 3 (net gain 2) or 2 for 4 (net gain 2). Oaks is get 3 put 1 away, again, for 2. Bills' Moms' Kindness is 2 as well.
I think that balance of 2 is what has kept draw supporters from getting into the power creep that we're seeing in other aspects of the game. Your other cards seem well balanced (I haven't really done more then a quick read through, so maybe I missed something, but...), so I just figured I would rant about balancing draw supporters lol.

 

[Ace-]

engineers adjustment? you discard 1 you get 4.
cheren? you draw 3
stevens advice? you can get up to 6.

i dont think this card is op. i dont think this card wouldnt be played much if released because there are better supporter cards for now.

 

[cabd]

Bulk energy plus Gengar Prime = BIG NO

 

[Shino Bug Master]

^Why exactly? It gives it an advantage of Mewgar varients, promoting set-up, while being prone to Lost Remover if it's relied on. No matter what it still takes you getting out a Stage 2, and Gengar Prime is still easily KO'd by Zekrom/Reshiram with a PP or Machamp Prime.

@Shuckle: Cheren completely destroys that though. And like i said, its designed to be slightly more than a straight draw supporter, in being a draw and cycle supporter, giving more playability to Slowking based decks, which not a lot of other trainers do.

@Ace- Steven's Advice is also a great example, and thanks.

More cards up soon, keep ratin/hatin/ or whatever you're gonna do xD Any opinion on the babies? Your favorite, one you hate, one you'd play 4 of?

@Below: Is not an article, just fake set for lols.

 

[Charizard3712]

This article is pointless now bc you made a masquerain prime over a Charizard Prime lol jk

Yeah, Cherens really breaks the cycle. I hope it doesn't become the new norm though, because I don't want to see power creep in draw power.

 

[Shino Bug Master]

^As said early, Steven's Advice actually had much higher potential, as long as no card guarantee's 4 straight draw without limit effect or discard, i don't think there's too big a deal. Better than a bunch of Mom's Kindess' =[

And here, the inafmous line of cards that reshaped the game while they were around, back together playing off a different theme. And Spinda. Yay Pandas.

Gardevoir 110 HP sychic:
Stage 2

sychic:sychic:sychic::colorless: Safe Bet 100-

[Qwachansey]

PC Transfer + Legend Box = Way too good.

But the rest of the cards look great

 

[cabd]

Actually, come to think of it, Bulk Energy would make blastoise tier one. It would mean that stoise needs no supporting energy acceleration, so it could run by itself with plenty of room for techs, or be played with 'zone or something.

 

[Shino Bug Master]

Chansey: Well, i wouldn't say its "too good", it requires 2 cards to shuffle in and 2 trainers. But it would also be a considerabely more reliable way to get a LEGEND out.

cabd: Well, it would idealy help any set-up based Stage 2 aside from the likes of Magnezone, Emboar and Gatr, which this format kinda lacks.

Some more cards to add up, rounding out more of the Psychic mess with the first Prime. And one of the first cards i know of that gives you an attack with so many choices.

Alakazam HP 110 sychic:
Stage 2
Evolves from Kadabra
sychic::colorless: Power Trip 30+
Choose any number of Pokemon in play with Poke-Powers (yours or your opponents). Those Pokemon can’t use their Powers during their controller’s next turn. This attack does 20 more damage for each Pokemon selected in this way.

Kadabra HP 70 sychic:
Stage 1
Evolves from Abra

powr: Vanishing Act

I gotta say your cards are pretty good. A lot better than the majority seen on here.
You don't go OTT nor same old attacks. They're balanced, somewhat playable. They have everything a good Custom card needs really. Great job!

[PMysterious]

Now we have another reason why Nintendo and Wizards Of The Coast stopped making Kadabras. They're too broken.

 

[Nintendan]

lol. Manetric makes MagneBoar and Zekrom terrible.
But they can Catcher it...

And by the way...
"Heatran can’t attack or retreat during your opponent’s next turn."
Last time I checked the rulebook, I'm sure it said you can attack/retreat on your turn... XD
