The Suicune ruling doesn't affect how darkness and metal energy cards are played? Would a Darkness Energy add 10 damage to an attack against Suicune? Would a Metal reduce it by 10? A. Yes! Any effect from an attached energy card that alters the amount of damage done is NOT affected by Suicune. (Dec 13, 2001 WotC Chat, Q522 & Q592) Q. If you are playing against holo Suicune, would your Charizard discard Fire energy? Would Blaine's Magmar discard the top five cards of your deck? A. Yes to both. It does not block costs, and Blaines Magmar for determining how much damage is done. (Dec 13, 2001 WotC Chat, Q564) Q. Does Suicune prevent Metronome? A. No. (Dec 13, 2001 WotC Chat, Q568) Q. Heh, while we're on Suicune, what happens when Magby uses Sputter? A. Currently, the power would not be shut off.

SURGE'S SECRET PLAN (Gym: Challenge Expansion) Q. Does Igglybuff's Gaze activate LSSP's "need to know" clause? A. Yes it would. (Dec 13, 2001 WotC Chat, Q561) Q. Can you flip over an LSSP'd card at any point in the game, even during your opponent's turn? A. Only on checks...So no.

Has the rule on Mulligans changed for the player who goes 2nd? Example: Player A wins the flip and mulligans. Player B draws 2 cards. Player A gets a basic. Player B mulligans. Does Player B draw 7 or 9 cards? A. 9. It has been updated on the floor rules on the web. I think player B needs to think about it for a while though!
