X version may swap positions back and forth
Theres a lot to analyse in Paradox Rift, from the shift in Chien-Pao ex decklists to the rise of Snorlax Stall, the evolution of Charizard ex, Lost Boxs fall from grace and its consequences for one-Prize decks this is far more than I could achieve in one single article, and Im not an expert on all of these topics
It is also notable competitively, as the card carries an ability that shuts off self-KO abilities for both players, giving it a real niche in certain metas beyond just being a pretty pull
Eluge also seems like it has the potential to pair great with Memory Deluge
The game doesn't even bother poking fun at itself or satirising the silliness of it all
I would rate this card a 4 out of 5 because even though it isn't that good of card compared to today's standards I do think being able to do 120 damage every turn and even having the possibility of doing 120 damage the next turn without having to add energy cards to Charizard was quite rare in the e sets
