Mewtwo: Okay, why are you using the Point System? Do you realize that thing is worthless? Compare Fossil Haunter and Basic Haunter. You probably got a tie. Is that proof enough that attacking a number to a card is worthless? You're giving a point for rarity? What good is that? Avilability doesn't effect how good the card is. You may as well give one a point for being at a higher level!
Eaamudo: Try this: look at the card, see how good it is in your enviroment, see how dependant it is on other cards, see how versitile it is, and observe how it can help your deck. No comparing, no numbers, nothing. How does that work?    
Whether Man: People, please learn not to use the friggin' point system and to stop using these worthless methods of comparison! Learn from other people's mistakes! Jeez, you'd think people would realize how bad this thing is the first time it was used.

PS: Don't compare a stage 1 to a basic/Stage 2. Period. This is some advice to let you avoid potential embarrassment. It only makes you look bad, guys.
