These OP decks don't seem as OP anymore....Lugia VSTAR counter for expanded (blocks both Tinachomp and Garchomp V) lmao

Isnt placing counters an "attack efect"? It should work with anything I think?Both cards are pretty good. The energy provides an answer to Roaring Moon and Giratina for tankier decks, like I may run it as a 1 of in Garchomp ex (which while the main attack costs Fightning energy, after the first Fighting energy attachment you never need to attach one manually again).
Rabsca gives me flashbacks of Daunting Pose Machoke which prevented damage to your benched Pokemon and also damage counters from attacks and abilities to your bench, but this trades preventing damage counters from abilities to the bench for preventing other attack effects (which may not be as valuable, but it's still solid).
I'm wondering if Mist Energy blocks TM Devolution, or if it's like Path to the Peak+Forest Seal Stone
I don't know that I'd call it a buff at all. It gets Comfey (and Manaphy and Jirachi, if you're running them) and that's it.
Is it decent? Sure, but Battle VIP Pass, which rotates when this becomes tournament legal, does that already and can *also* get Cramorant or whatever other 'mon you want turn one. And you're probably not digging for multiple Comfey all that often after Turn 1 anyway. So really... is it fair to even call it a buff?
That’s true. It’s to make up for losing VIP Pass, but isn’t necessarily better or even arguably as good, it’s just to keep lost box playable.It's more of a sidegrade. While it's absolutely better in grabbing Comfeys if you whiff it turn 1, the fact that it cant grab R. Greninja and Cramorant is big enough of a downside.
I was comparing it to the Machoke which has the extra benefit of also denying damage counters from abilities on top of from attacks, with the trade-off from this Rabsca being that it also prevents other effects from attacks to your bench (such as gusting, bouncing, etc etc).Isnt placing counters an "attack efect"?

I guess what it comes down to is whether an attack granted by a TM still counts as being used by the Pokémon, which I think it does count as because it’s not talking about an attack on the Pokémon but instead an attack from the Pokémon, so I totally agree with @JaniK.Forest Seal Stone’s vstar is not on the pokemon that’s why path didn’t stop it but tms are attacks used by pokemon so Mist Energy blocks tm devolution’s effect
Since Cramonat and Radiant Charizard can reduce the cost of attacks from Technical Maschines Rabsca should be able to block damage and effects from attacks that have been granted to Pokémon via a TM.I guess what it comes down to is whether an attack granted by a TM still counts as being used by the Pokémon, which I think it does count as because it’s not talking about an attack on the Pokémon but instead an attack from the Pokémon, so I totally agree with @JaniK.
Chien-Pao and Gholdengo laughs at Lost Goodra. Plus, how do you even search for the mist to attach it in the first place if you don't play enough copies in the deck. If you play any more than 2, mirage gate becomes super difficult to play, especially for an evolved attacker in a lost box. Doesn't sound at all like a good build.. ?? Also, roaring moon can easily run temple to shut down the mist. ?I thought about it a little more and the one thing I didn't think about earlier was Arceus decks running Mist Energy as a means to better deal with Giratina and Roaring Moon, namely Arc-Goodra and Arc-Regigigas. This is similar mentality to Arceus decks teching V-Guard Energy to change damage numbers. These decks should feel comfortable teching Mist Energy, but still have obvious problems with go-second aggro decks. Still, a decent benefit.
This also made me think about Lost Goodra (Or Mike Catron's off the wall Lost Gigas deck). If anyone's still playing Lost Goodra after rotation, they may have to run this card even if it isn't the most comfortable thing to run in the deck, just to have a better time with Giratina and Roaring Moon should those be prominent.
Short answer is yes, the energy blocks it.I'm wondering if Mist Energy blocks TM Devolution, or if it's like Path to the Peak+Forest Seal Stone
No, because Shred's text is not an effect. Sort of. It is KIND OF an effect, or more accurately an innate "attribute" of the attack, but it does not place any effect on the Defending Pokemon.Does the mist energy shut off Giratina V shred attack text? " this attacks damage isn't affected by any effects on your opponents active pokemon"?
