What makes this card so good? Why do so many people play it?

Max Lance does enough damage to 1 shot any V, and more than enough to 2 shot any VMAX. You can power it up every turn while drawing cards with Melony.
It’s not the best option, it’s an easy to use, consistent VMAX

Thanks! And Capacious Bucket also helps.

Is Ride of the High King the wordiest attack name in the TCG? They’re all short words, but I can’t seem to find any attack names that hit 5 words, closest seems to be “Will o’ the Wisp”

Zacian V-Union ties with “Dance of the Crowned Sword,” and Solgaleo & Lunala GX arguably does too with “Light of the Protector GX.” I lost interest in checking sometime around early SM/late XY.
(Shout-out to Alolan Golem GX for its 10-syllable “Super Electromagnetic Tackle.”)
