No way Miraidon plays this:
1) it’s an attack
2) it involves coin flipping

Without flips it would but flips makes it big no

 

[Yaginku]

No, a Pokemon that attaches energies on attack, especially when it's random, is not going to see play in a format where every deck has some way to get energies for free.

A sucky card in a sucky magazine. nobody asked for this

I've been asking for this.

I understand the hate on the underwhelming promo, but also it isn't a competitive card, it's for collectors, and why the random hate on CoroCoro? What did they do to you?

Surprisingly playable in spite of flipping coins (Lugia got away with it for like 3 formats so it isn't an excuse). Even though it is an attack, at worst you're leaving a 1-prizer in the active, and at best you're accelerating energy from discard, a lot of which Miraidon doesn't have post-rotation. When international standard will get this, we don't know, but it's still a card that could have some playability. Its retreat should be 1, and if it's any more than that I retract everything I just said.

Why are goofballs complaining that a magazine promo isn't competitive? what's the alternative? having a good card exclusive to a magazine? that would be awful. Imagine having to buy 4 copies of the same magazine to get a playset

Grow up.

Tbh leaving a one prizer in the active and whiffing an attack is a pretty big oof in the TCG nowadays. Especially because Miraidon is trying to attack for real damage turn one going second if it can anyway.

To clarify I’m arguing it probably won’t be playable; I’m not upset that it won’t be.
