As you can imagine, being a Stage 2 Pokmon (meaning it needs to evolve twice) that requires 4 energy to set off an attack 1 Water, 1 Lightning, and 2 colourless you need to buy yourself some time
Sometimes you have to take more drastic measures, like dumping 100 mana into a weird little enchantment that automatically will win you the game
Mega Lucario EX has two moves, with Aura Jab requiring one Fighting Energy to deal 130 damage to a target and move three basic Fighting Energy cards from the discard pile to Benched Pokmon
In response to player feedback strongly in favor of black-bordered cards, Wizards reserved for themselves the right to reprint cards from Mercadian Masques and later sets with black borders, rather than white
The cards are easier to cut this way
Theres a lot of potential here if you can pose somewhat ambiguously, but its not going to be as useful if you dont have some dedicated followers
