3th LOL
Either way Chairman Kaga since you are a judge I thought I'd ask you what happens when you discard a DRE attached to a HOundoom do you get both effects or do you just choose 1?

But please note, while I do work with the Compendium team on a couple things, I am not a source of official rulings -- see my disclaimer below
I just do the best I can with my knowledge of the rules and patterns from other rulings. I'm going to post this over at PokeGym to make sure they review it at this week's Rules Team meeting.Where are the locations of the pre-release you are going to Chairman Kaga? I see you're from KS, and I'm from KS!
Kansas City area. I planned to judge Independence MO this past Sunday but obviously that didn't work out -- you know, due to the vomiting
Barring another unexpected occurrence, I should be at both PRs this weekend -- Baldwin City on Saturday, Overland Park (Collector's Cache) on Sunday.

In a Booster Draft, each player gets a certain number of packs (typically 5 or 6), and then everyone sits in a circle. Each player opens a pack, chooses one card out of the 10, and passes the remaining 9 to their neighbor. Then everyone chooses a card from the 9 that were passed to them, and passes the remaining 8. Then everyone chooses a card from the 8 and passes the remaining 7, and so on until all the cards have been taken. Then everyone opens a new pack and does it all again (usually you switch passing directions for each pack). Once all the packs are gone, each player builds a 40-card deck and participates in a tournament.
Draft is one of my favorite forms of play. You often have to make hard choices on which card to take and which to let go on down the line. It's a good test of skill in card selection. Although with pre-release Booster Drafts, I don't care much about winning -- I just take cards I didn't get in the first part of the pre-release
Of course, if you want a real challenge, try Rochester Draft sometime. But Rochester takes forever. Booster Draft goes a lot faster and is a lot easier to squeeze in at the end of something like a pre-release.

So apparently discarding a Multi energy gets you both effects. Not what I expected at all, but like I said, I'm not a source of official rulings
I'm only right 92.3% of the time, kinda like Rush Limbaugh.Really? Cool!
Then Houndoom is pretty good!

Oh, I think I saw you at the SW pre-release!
Blastoise_Trainer said:
I think it's all been covered, pretty much. Limited and Booster Draft are probably all you'll ever see at a PR.
so a limited one is when u just get 6 packs and u open them and make a deck with these and later on when u return the energy u get the other 2 extra packs right.
