I am really excited for both Dracovish V and Blunder Policy. Assuming they ever come to the states, Draco is pretty neat for tool removal and two shotting VMAX's (assuming they have a tool) which pairs well with Melony. But Dragonite V is still better imo. Blunder Policy is hype because all I think of is Maractus and Cramorant VMAX having basically a little built in Oricorio post rotation.

Would blunder policy be an option in maractus or wailord V? You're flipping around 5/6 coins each turn, with at least 1 tails being almost certain. I'm just wondering if flipping multiple coins would still trigger the effect of the card.

Blunder policy would turn the TCG into a tycoon with how many tails I flip.

I think the blunder policy would make flippy cards more viable (and much less infuriating) without being as boring as something such as Trick Coin.

I like these cards, except for Croagunk and Baltoy (I don't expect evolving Basics to be particularly exciting, but lately they've been SUPER boring). I especially like Blunder Policy. I enjoy when they adapt game items into the TCG in a way that makes sense, and its effect will be fun to play in Maractus and the like.

Dracovish V - 1. The attack cost is expensive. 2. Crobat V rarely uses a tool, so yeah. You're problematic on that. 3. Meh. 3 Geodudes

Leafeon/Glaceon - Meh. 3/3

Blunder Policy - situational tool for a situational matchup. 3

Nope. Very matchup-heavy. Also consider the standard dmg you do. Maractus can only do 120 for 2, not good. I know it can do more than 120, but consider most of the turns you do less than you expect to a 110-HP Pokemon. Wailord? I won't consider using it
