Once during each player’s turn, that player may draw cards until he or she has 7 cards in his or her hand. If he or she does, that player’s turn ends.
· 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.

The upcoming Jubilife Village provides a nice alternative to this (shuffles hand and draws 5 instead), but goodness, it really took over 10 whole years for a good replacement? I don’t understand how they even thought this card was a good idea to begin with. Did they think a universal consistency card like this wouldn’t be powerful?
Honestly surprised this never got banned simply for how inaccessible it is. True of a lot of other cards, sure, but they’re thankfully almost never playable. This thing…..shouldn’t have even existed.

I know! If you’re gonna make something this powerful, at least make it easier to obtain…

One knock against TB is that is benefits your opponent just as much as it benefits you. Plus, since TB ends your turn, you cannot replace it with another stadium right after to deny your opponent from using the effect for themselves.
That last bit has been a significant hindering factor for its watered down variant “Jubilife Village”. That card was only ever seen on one topping decklist in the 2022 Japan Nationals (which was a rogue Regigigas build, a deck archetype that otherwise preferred to run “Path to the Peak” and “Stormy Mountains” for their stadiums if it could help it).
