Electabuzz / Magnemites - obvious electric Machamp / Cubone - obvious fighting Arcanine / Charmander / Omanyte - fire, weak to water Kadabra / Hitmonlee - psychic, supereffective against fighting Magneton / Ekans - metal, resists poison (a bit of a stretch since poison is now dark and no Magneton card has resisted dark, only metal, psychic or grass) Meowth / Hitmonchan - colorless, weak to fighting Slowpoke / Sandshrew - water, supereffective against ground Dragonite / Vileplume / Squirtle - dragon, in games dragonite would resist both grass and water but not in the tcg Scyther / Weezing - grass, weak to poison (again Scyther cards only are weak to fire or lightning) Gengar / Poliwag - dark, but random Poliwag
The card has only ever been reprinted in supplementary products and sits at a hefty price
The only reason its not higher is because it features in the Silverquill Precon, Silverquill Influence, which also contains Eclipsed Steppe and Umbral Expanse
I believe this is a very fun set to open and some of the cards are even playable
Squawkabilly ex : Some players opt to run Lumineon V instead, but Squawkabilly is better on the first turn on the game, especially when going first (which is what Rapid Strike wants to do), and a good first turn is extremely important for this deck: if you set up well in the early turns, your board becomes extremely difficult to answer for most decks
