   Why do there need to be fossil rules? Just play them normal, or have a trainer that says if you have Restored Pokemon X in your hand, you can play it. TPCi should want a good, playable fossil option because they’re cool pokemon.

     Even Twist Mountain (Dark Explorers DEX 101) isn’t reliable enough.

       Only b/c there are far too many playable Stadiums in today’s format.

       I second the idea for a fossil Supporter: “Search your deck from up to 3 ‘Restored Pkmn’ and place them onto bench. Shuffle your deck afterwards.”

         I disagree. I don’t think there are enough playable Stadiums. Really, there’s Skyarrow Bridge · Next Destinies (NXD) #91, Tropical Beach · Black & White Promos (BWP) #BW28, and Twist Mountain · Dark Explorers (DEX) #101 that are required for strategy, and the rest (Pokémon Center · Next Destinies (NXD) #90, Burned Tower · Undaunted (UD) #71, Ruins of Alph · Undaunted (UD) #76, Indigo Plateau · Triumphant (TM) #86, Battle City · Black & White Promos (BWP) #BW39, and one other I can’t think of) are techs at best. Decks using Beach are pretty much dead and Twist Mountain is flippy. Skyarrow Bridge is the only 100% playable stadium in format.

         EDIT: The Stadium I forgot was Lost World. Sure, it also has its own decks, but I don’t think I need to be the one that says they aren’t the best right now.

           I suppose you’re right. The “look at the bottom 7 cards” on the fossils is ridiculous, as well as the flippy on the Stadium (I forgot about that).

           I was just pointing out that fact that, if you were to put Twist Mountain out into play, your opponent could counter Stadium it.
