    Am I crazy to think this card might actually have legs, heading into Worlds 2024? Shuts down Charizard ex, Ogerpon ex, Pidgeot ex, Squawkabilly ex, Regidrago VSTAR… 🌟
    Major threats will still be Raging Bolt ex and Dragapult ex tho…

      Regidrago looks like the big ticket, and into Quad Thorns it’ll just set up slow then Rolling Iron for the rest of the game. As for Thorns in Miraidon or Lost Box, I’m a big fan personally

      No, many people have been playing it or teching against it. Lugia even runs Flutter Mane to counter it

        Putting Thorns in the active still does force them to find Flutter Mane, bench it, and retreat to get it in the Active. Especially with Lumineon unusable, this may be something Lugia to would be unable to do. Same for other decks.
