Is Celebi & Venusaur-GX 159 efficient for the Energy it asks for?

Where this sits once the archive is cut by damage instead

The bars above cut the archive by what an attack asks for. Cut the same archive by what an attack prints and the groups come out differently — the damage ranges on record are gathered on one page, which is where a figure like 180 is read as high or low rather than merely large.

Is Celebi & Venusaur-GX 159 strong for a TAG TEAM card?

TAG TEAM cards are built large to begin with, so measuring this one against the whole archive mixes up what the mechanic gives it with what the card itself gives it. Measured inside its own group, the two come apart.

What does being a Grass card do for Celebi & Venusaur-GX 159?

Celebi & Venusaur-GX 159 in depth — what these figures add up to

Three readings of the same card, side by side: what it costs to get going, where it sits among the cards it will be compared with, and what takes it off the field.

What it asks a deck for

  • Its hardest attack, Evergreen-GX, needs 4 Energy attached. Energy attaches once a turn, so that attack waits 4 turns from an empty card.
  • That works out at 45 damage for every Energy card attached.
  • Moving it out of the active spot costs 4 more Energy, discarded from the card itself.
