Simipour
(XY)
We end the week with another Monkey Trio card: the
always-underwhelming Simipour.
I guess Recycle seems like it could be a useful attack
at first: one Colourless Energy gets you
any card
from your discard put back on top of your deck, ready
for you to draw next turn. Unless your opponent plays N
and makes you shuffle, of course. The trouble is that
setting up a Stage 1 to do this, and using up your
attack for the turn, is just very slow and inefficient
compared to using Dowsing Machine or Super Rod, or just
running enough copies of the cards you need in the first
place. This format is just way too fast for an attack
like Recycle to be viable, and to be honest I think you
could say the same thing for just about every format we
have ever had . . . even the relatively slow ones which
seem to be a thing of the past.
Simipour
does have an offensive option in Surf, but it’s a
vanilla 70-for-3 attack that isn’t really worth the
bother. Bit like the rest of the card, really.
Rating
Modified: 1.5 (clumsy card recovery isn’t something we
need)
Limited: 2.25 (I could see Recycle working here with the
absence of N and a shortage of worthwhile
cards in your deck)
