Holon's Castform in Magmorter?

[abaxter94]

I was thinking, and I though that Holon's Castform might do well in a Magmorter deck, primarily because you can recycle energies, and remove four damage counters when it is attached.
Discuss.

remove four damage counters when it is attached.

You do not remove 4 damage counters when attaching a Holon Castform to Magmortar SW. Look at its Poke-Body, is states "When you attach a (F) Energy card". Holon Castform is still 1 Energy card even though it provides 2 Energies. So, you only remove two damage counters...

And what about DRE and Scramble is the same thing when attached to Magmortar SW?

Yes, even though they provide more than 1 energy but they are still AN Energy card. So, you would only remove 2 damage counters from Magmortar SW..

Ok think of it this way.

When you attach a Holon's Castform to Mag,you must pick up an energy so if you really think about it you are taking off 20 damage for his first attack.Plus you have to ask yourself,what happens if I start with Holon's Castform in a deck with no {d} Pokemon and how will you recover? Plus you would still only remove 2 damage counters,because Magmortar clearly states that when you attach a (F) Energy from your hand to Magmortar remove 2 damage counters.

Hope I helped!

So, 4 damage counter healing doesn't work and there's a possibility to start with castform. But then again you could recycle energies. Two against one. Don't use castform.

Actually, the keyword from the Flame Body Poke-Body is "(F) Enery card". So, even if you attach a DRE, Activated Scramble & Holon Castform to Magmortar SW, you would still remove 2 damage counters only because they are still an Energy Card even though they provide more than 1 energy....

I initially thought that you would remove two damage counters after attaching a basic Fire Energy card to Magmortar. Since Holon's Castform, Double Rainbow Energy, Scramble Energy and Multi Energy can provide Fire Energy at specific times, it seems you can indeed remove two damage counters upon their attachments. Cool.
