I completely disagree with murkrow and uxie being above the 3 most horrific attacks EVER (for there times anyways). I can't really recall murkrow being used outside of sneasal, and besides slowking (which could give confusion), he could be countered pretty easily if he tried to gust up a baby and lock it (which was often the case), espicially by elekid. Uxie, while a solid card, hasn't had the type of impact on the game as the aboved monsters. While it's been found in every deck, it's still just a support pokemon and shouldn't be above cards that literally flipped this game upside down.

You do know Uxie pretty single-handidly turned the format into something much speedier right? Try getting Kingdra, Machamp, Jumpluff, etc etc to function without it, have fun.

I could see Slowking being number one. That thing killed trainers and made it harder for decks to work as well, and was used all over with different, successful combos.

The gengars are nowhere near as epic and gamechanging as the rest of the listed cards. Gengar didn't significantly alter the format, even though it was a worlds-level archetype.

5) Super Energy Removal
4) Gust of Wind
3) Cleffa
2) Computer Search
1) Professor Oak
These almost have to be the top five. The order is just my best guess.
EDIT: I'm disappointed that Swoop! Teleporter didn't make the top fifty.

Same here. That was one of the best cards from TRR and was used in a wide array of decks.
I'm amazed he ranked Claydol above Slowking and Pidgeot.

Yea, Pidgeot should be above Claydol IMO. Every good deck during that format ran it..sometimes even if they were complete staage 1 decks.

The main reason for Claydol > Pidgeot is the speed and reliability a Stage 1 offers. Additionally, you can use Cosmic Power 2+ times a turn with multiple Claydols.
Slowking vs Claydol was close. But overall, Claydol was so good, that every evolution deck HAD to run it. As broken as Slowking was, your deck didn't NEED to run it to be competitive. Additionally, while 1 Claydol can make or break a game, Slowking was often vulnerable until you had two out.

I'm still of the opinion that DRE was more useful than Scramble. I'll give you that Scramble probably decided more games in its time. But it was a 2-of TecH in most decks. DRE was a 4-of staple in anything evolved non-ex, and it was the main reason Gardy performed as well as it did. Take away DRE, and that deck, while still powerful, isn't all-powerful like it was.

Slowking makes sense. Pidgeot though, having access to your entire deck when it was out was always nice. I dunno, I guess I have a lot of bias toward Pidgeot as opposed to Claydol - both are great cards though when all is said and done.
@Bullados - Scramble could be abused in so many ways. Aside from making Empoleon amazing, Pow!Tar was also quite a force to reckon with. Trode ex/Scramble combo was just sick period. Scramble with spread was sickening too - Delta (Raieggs), for example. Also, Gardy played more of Scramble as the year went on - although, DRE clearly just as important, and helped establish it as the dominant force- since the mirror was so big. When it comes down to it though, I'd say Scramble beats out DRE since Scramble was a great recovery card, where as DRE wasn't as huge in helping a player recover when down.
