      But Gengar wouldn’t be knocked out, so Fainting Spell wouldn’t activate. That would be SO evil though.

        Incorrect. Gengar says “Would be” knocked out. Not “Is”

        Somebody already asked the rules team. Both trigger.

          Wow. I really need to try that out in my unlimited deck. That combo sounds like epic win.

    Fun fact: notice that white bar at the bottom of the illustration? That’s actually an alignment error.

      Oh wow, I never noticed that! From a quick ebay search it looks like all of them were printed that way.

    Reprint when? I could imagine this being pretty fun if made exclusively for non EX, GX, VX or any other multi-prize mons

    I think this would be a lot more viable without the coin-flipping element.

      If that were the case than the Neo format would be unplayable lol.
