AZ will be released in Phantom Forces:)
It is a supporter and the effect is: Return 1 Pokémon to your hand. (Discard all other cards attached to it.)

I think this can replace super scoop up in DragoniteEX deck because when there is one DragoniteEX in play, you can simply just play another DragoniteEX and use Bust in! This moves all the energies from the damaged DragoniteEX to the new one. After this just use AZ to return the damaged DragoniteEX in your hand. Including scoop up cyclone, you can return DragoniteEX for 5 times!!

Overall, I think AZ will help DragoniteEX deck a lot as it is more reliable than super scoop up though it is a supporter. I think the whole strategy will be better. What do you guys think?

Bad English.
 
Definitely. I currently play 4 SSU AND 4 Cassius in dragonite. AZ will definitely be a good replacement for Cassius. Aren't we getting a little ahead of ourselves though? We still have 3 or so fun months of this format to play :p.
 
AZ is an interesting card choice but the thing is that it doesn't take up Muscle Band or any tools you have on the Pokemon. Cassius is a more logical choice given that it retrieve EVERYTHING back into your hand so that Muscle Band can easily be put onto that fresh Dragonite.

Cassius shuffles all the cards back into the deck, so AZ seems like the better choice in Dragonite to me.

I currently play Cassius in Dragonite, so I think I'll like AZ just fine in the deck, but I still think 4 Super Scoop Up is necessary. The card is so strong if you can flip heads on it. You heal off Dragonite, and take it AND the attached Tools and Energy into your hand, and also allows you to play another Supporter in the same turn. Once Phantom Forces comes out, I'll most likely be playing 4 Super Scoop Up, and 2-3 AZ in Dragonite.
 
Tool will be discarded....That is a problem.
Play 1-1 Masquerain line to get tools back?... but somehow strange :p
 
I prefer playing Dragonite EX with magnezone, which means 2 supporters a turn. That means I can play a cassius and then a sycamore or whatever else, it doesnt really hurt to use cassius because I can still move through the deck fast enough to draw another one. And keeping hold of muscle bands or whatever is very useful considering you want to play a new dragonite every turn, that could be up to 12 attacks needed and only having bands for 4 of those is kinda rough. Shuffling muscle bands back into the deck means you can run one or two less muscle bands also. After playtesting I found that better than super scoop up and i think it will be better than AZ also, since you might not always want to be moving all your energy to the main dragonite anyways. It could be good to be able to shuffle it back into your deck if you wanted to.
