Each player can’t have more than 3 Benched Pokémon.
When Giant Stump comes into play, each player discards Benched Pokémon and any cards attached to them until he or she has 3 Benched Pokémon. (You discard your Pokémon first.)
· Stadium rule: This card stays in play when you play it. Discard this card if another Stadium card comes into play. If another card with the same name is in play, you can’t play this card.

Now this would be an interesting card in today’s format…
Adam Capriola
Yeah this card was awesome! It was great for not only messing with your opponents, but you could also take out your own Pokemon if they got too damaged and you didn’t want your opponent to potentially target them.
Curtis
I’m sure it would make an excellent anti-Truth tech. Pair it with Seeker and KO the active. Hello active Reuniclus.
coolestman22
KO the Active?
Curtis
Score a KO for your turn. I know it isn’t as easy as it sounds, but wouldn’t it be fun to force them to send a Pokemon active that they don’t want without using Catcher or wasting your attack. Sure, they could retreat with DCE, but you’ve killed their setup.
coolestman22
What do you do, wait until they use Outrage or Raging Hammer with damage?
Cabd
Agreed with Adam and Flub. This would bring skill back to the format a bit more. Damaged EX on your bench? Bye bye Sky Arrow, go Giant Stump; I choose you!
NicholasInzeo
love to see this vs durant
coolestman22
So you can only play 4 pokemon, nulling V-Creatini, and letting them use all the bench space they need to?
NicholasInzeo
na cuz i expect them to have 4 durants a rotom and col. Be nice if they discard rotom durant and col in 1 turn to waste their revives.
coolestman22
No, they’d discard Rotom and Cobalion and keep milling.
NicholasInzeo
gotta discard 3, not 2
Adam Capriola
Read the card again. Discard UNTIL they have 3 Benched Pokemon. Not discard 3 Benched Pokemon.
NicholasInzeo
ah my mistake

Directions: play Pichu · HeartGold & SoulSilver (HS) #28 and use Playground T1, play Giant stump T2, make troll face.

This card would push Durant off the face of the…meta.
coolestman22
No, because you can have 4 Pokemon in play, which is all Durant needs.

“Nya! Limit the size of their bench I will, Nya!”
Dark Kira
Why does this card limit your bench space when it is a -giant- stump?

Is it perhaps based on some lore in one of the video games?
Ambassador
I wouldn’t think so, tbh? Like most of the other cards in Legend Maker, this card probably means to portray a location in the Eidolon Forest, which, like Holon, is TCG-exclusive.
