I like the lv x poke power it makes him playable in a water steel or fighting deck just by having one of each of the other type of energy then being able to search and attach it plus the 8 damage counter healing is nice, all for just one probably crappy basic poke., i see him being a big threat

EDIT I forgot id give it a 9.5/10

Slightly disagreed. Lv. X Regi's Sacrifice is pretty good. The artwork is ok, but I've seen much better. The Lv. X Regi; thats one of the most powerful and best moves I think I've seen! =O

I give it 9/10 also. =)

OHKO'd by Machamp with one fighting energy, and to do any damage to it you're going to be giving your opponent one more prize. Not to mention, with an attack that requires three different types of energy, none of which are psychic, its hard to even consider sacrificing the deckspace for a Machamp counter.

Useless.

So everyones playing a machamp now? and his ability lets you pull out two basic energy, so you could EASILY run a psycic metal/fighting/water deck and just use the ability to get the other two energy you need ok? no card is useless

Both are awesome cards for a deck, and both have cool artwork. 9/10

Yes, actually, everyone DOES play machamp now. At least, that's what the prepared player would assume: it seems to me to be the favored stormfront deck, and if you can't beat it, you can't go far. =P

Machamp needs ONE turn, ONE energy to OHKO Regigigas.

To even lay a finger on champ, Regigigas needs four energy of at least three different types– and often it will need to knock-out (unless I'm wrong, that means losing another prize card to your opponent) one of its own benchs to satisfy that hefty cost –to do a miserly 100 damage, at which point 'Champ can revenge kill easy and pick apart the rest of your bench (lets face it: anything running Regigas isn't going to be running anything else in any serious capacity).

To say no card is useless is just being ignorant. An example is Mom's kindness. Why play this card when you can run a whole host of other cards which do that much and more?

Moreover, you throw the term easilly around awfully liberally. Pray tell what exact list will let you EASILY run psychich/metal/fighting/water with a reliable machamp counter and a worthy way of getting out 'Gigas?

Yeah... I don't see that happening. 'Gigas is slaughtered by Machamp, and when you're literally sacrificing one, two, maybe three prizes and all your opponent needs are three kills for the win, I think thats when I deem a card "useless".

EDIT: Based on your previous post, I also think you failed to read that you search your discard pile and not your deck for those energy cards. And I'm curious if I'm right in thinking you actually are suggesting running one of each water, fighting, steel energy because... Well... Lets just say good luck, lol.
