Ultra Beast Set
I had the idea today, after realising that SM4 will most likely be centered about the UB's
Let's get into it
Mechanics:
-Ultra Beasts can only be placed onto the bench while the Ultra Space stadium card is in play (however, they remain in play even after the stadium is discarded)
-[UB] will represent Ultra Energy, a special energy which represents all types and is required to use some attacks
-No more than 6 Ultra Beasts can be in a deck
-Knocking out an Ultra Beast lets you draw 2 prizes
I don't believe this is any more or less game breaking than the state standard is in this year.
