Unlimited... "unfair" or broken cards

I was wondering what to do with cards that in unlimited completely break the modified format. For example Celestian Crystal, throw it on something that is active and no pokebodies or powers can be used.

Combine it with scott and I never have to use pokepowers or bodies.

Is this really fair, or broken? I almost fell like it destroys 90% of the modified format with one card. Is it fair to run it knowing it will autoloss or close to it most decks in the modern format.

BTW this is a fun deck, not tournament legal of course... :) - but with shockwave markers and celestian crystal this thing is almost unstoppable.

Also, shockwave markers are also broken, they can only be prevented by unown G, or evolving/devolving. They are not special conditions so they can not be removed by benching, etc.
 
it's severely broken, but I have a few things that will take care of it, lol
 
Mew level 8 and MR. Mime both have amazing Pokemon Powers as long as Cessation Crystal isn't attached to an active Pokemon.
 
Cyclone Energy, Gust of Wind, Warp Point, Luxray GL Lv.X, etc. say HI.

Shock Markers can not be removed by retreating or benching your pokemon, they are not a special condition. The only way to remove them is to evolve or devolve the pokemon.

Since Scoop Up is legal in Unlimited, you can use that to get rid of them.

Ya, that is an option, so is poketurn. The point I think is that you have to take drastic action, especially if it is your main attacker.

For Cessation Crystal, not Shock-Wave.
