The more different types of attackers a deck has, the harder it becomes to get the right energy at the right moment

Yet as I opened an Elite Trainer Box, a Booster Bundle, and an Alakazam ex box (very kindly provided by TPCi), for a total of 20 packs, I saw so few of them

It doesnt do much immediately, but it sets up an explosive follow-up, allowing you to storm again or refill your hand
