I'm fairly new to the game and I am a experience Yu-Gi-Oh player. This card sounds really good to me due to the fact that there is a card in Yu-Gi-Oh with the same effect and it is banned. I mean it is an instant +2. Can someone explain to me why it isn't used in decks?
 
I get your view of point. I used to be a yugioh player to
Jar of greed was it?

Anyways there a lot a of better cards in pokemon then bill.
and bill now is a suppoter card and you can only use one support card per turn.

In pokemon it's not THAT important about +1 or -1 to a certain degree in the game.

Oh that makes sense. Yeah I was looking through my commons and jank and Buck's Training is like Bill on Steroids. Haha. Pokemon seems like a lot more fast paced game. =]

Yeah Jar of Greed. But that makes sense. And yeah I thought about the once for turn thing. Thanks

In case you don't know what these cards do (cards not quoted)
Engineer's Adjustments-Discard an energy card from your hand, then draw four cards
Copycat-Shuffle your hand into your deck, then draw same number of cards as your opponent has in there hand
POV(Professor Oak's Visit)-draw 3 cards, then chose a card from your hand and put it on the bottom of your deck.
Also you can only have up to 4 card of the same name in your deck.
 
Pokemon is much different than yugioh. In yugioh, you don't have 1 card that IS your win condition. With pokemon, all 60 cards in your deck focus around getting a few cards in play. Only about 6-8 cards should be your win condition. Pokemon has many cards that search for those cards. With yugioh, you could easily draw into a win condition when drawing 2. This is because you have 15-20 win conditions in the way of monsters. With pokemon, such a thing is impossible. Drawing 2 is subpar. Pokemon allows you to search your deck for your win conditions. Why draw 2 when you can search for your win condition, draw 3 cards, get a new hand, or even search for a card that lets you draw until you have 7 cards in your hand (Uxie LA).

As for Bill, the card is bad. Only 1 supporter can be used per turn. Bill was played years ago when it could be used in combos. Now, only one can be played per turn. You have better cards to take up your supporter drop.
 
I think the reason is that, if I remember correctly, Pot of Greed can be used more than once per turn, no? If we had a Trainer that just let you draw two cards, it would probably be banned, too.

Once again, the games are different. Drawing 2 cards in yugioh without a downside is broken. Pokemon is much different. We've got PokeDrawer+ that lets you search for 2 cards. That isn't banned. Bill was a trainer many years ago. Drawing 2 cards as a trainer would not be broken because everyone would get it. It would speed up the metagame some.
 
But Poke Drawer has the drawback in that you need to play two at a time. So really it's two cards for two cards. That's definitely not that broken. Bill is one of the worse Supporters however. There's other cards that are a lot better for draw.

dmaster out.
 
Team Rocket's Trickery allows you to draw 2 cards(like bill) and them forces your opponent to discard a card from there hand(better than Bill IMO)
 
if i were around when base set came out id run about 2 bills.Its ironic because i run emmces chatter
 
Do you mean the rotated bill from the base set well if you mean that it is because it is rotated and people are pretty foucesed on tornement play.
 
Even if he did mean the "Rotated" Bill, all Bills in existence should be played like the Supporter Bill right now. Meaning, the "Rotated" Bill isn't rotated, and you can have it in your modified decks. But you do have to follow the updated ruling for the Supporter Bill.
