Engine (TCG): Difference between revisions

The ''Bibarel'' engine was centered on [[Bibarel (Brilliant Stars 121)|Bibarel]]'s ''Industrious Incisors'' {{TCG|Ability}}.  Once per turn, ''Industrious Incisors'' allowed a player to draw cards until they had five cards in their hand. Being a Stage 1 Pokemon, Bibarel was able to be set up fast, and had the advantage of not needing to discard a card from the player's hand, compared to cards like [[Cinccino (Sword and Shield 147)|Cinccino]]'s Make Do. The engine further got an upgrade with the release of the {{TCG|Crown Zenith}} expansion, which introduced [[Bidoof (Crown Zenith 111)|Bidoof]]. Bidoof's ability, ''Carefree Countenance'', allowed it to be protected from damage dealt while it was on the bench, preventing cards such as [[Rapid Strike Urshifu VMAX (Battle Styles 88)|Rapid Strike Urshifu VMAX]] and [[Radiant Greninja (Astral Radiance 46)|Radiant Greninja]] to Knock Out it for easy Prize Cards.  

The ''Magnetic Draw engine'' was centered almost entirely on [[Magnezone (Triumphant 96)|Magnezone Prime]]'s ''Magnetic Draw'' {{TCG|Poké-Power}}.  Once per turn, ''Magnetic Draw'' allowed a player to draw cards until they had six cards in hand.  Magnezone Prime-centric decks were particularly prevalent during the {{TCG|HeartGold & SoulSilver}}-on format, when ''Magnetic Draw'' provided one of the only Pokémon-based draw engines.  It was often used in combination with {{TCG|Judge}} in decks such as {{TCG|MegaZone}} to potentially leave the opponent with a small, useless hand while giving the Magnezone Prime player an out with ''Magnetic Draw''.
