How do I find the second channel ?!
38:00 You need to have all of the Regis in play, by name, in order to use Regigigas' Ability. So unless you have a way to increase your bench size, Like Sky Field in Eternal or Expanded, you're not attaching to anything that isn't a vanilla Regi.
What I would love to see is a Ace Spec Tool card that is “DNA Rewire Tool” that says “The Basic Pokemon this card is attached to can evolve into any stage 1 Pokemon. (This card cannot be removed by Items, Tools, Supporters, or Attacks)”
Because an Ace Spec Tool that doesn’t get discarded until being knocked out is a reasonable nerf for allowing non dittos to evolve into anything. Then we could have a fun little support ditto where if the tool is discarded he could do some fun support stuff like draw ability or an zero energy attack, I can imagine TPCI doing something along those lines if in the near future we get a variation of the Prism Star Ditto Effect.
as a regi fanatic I was actually offended when you guys said that it needed more support. I completely disagree, there are literally only 6 regis, and because it is only basic non rule box pokemon,a stadium that pairs amazingly is artazon, and path to the peak is aldo really good. With earthen vessel and the new luminous energy (which basically counts as any type of energy on non rule box pokemon) Iron hands is also a hige problem for the small single prizers, but there is another newly introduced card which is Luxury cape adding +100 hp. The regis can hit for weakness,have insane mechanic, and regieleki can stop evo decks like charizard in its tracks. I love that I can actually play the regis again and shock everyone with the underrated deck.
