pokemon card first edition stamp Is this what you call a grey 1st edition? : r/PokemonCardValue Listed With Mascot. 1st Edition (TCG) - Bulbapedia,

Some refuse to play anything unless its rarely seen, some want to try something out of the newest set, and some are convinced that a card can be broken just because it looks like it might do something

It was a devastating effect because it was difficult to put out 2 level 9s, but it would be a different story if it became easy to put out

No minimizing

If some of the targets are illegal as the triggered ability tries to resolve, the original division of damage still applies, but the damage that would have been dealt to the illegal targets isn't dealt at all

Instead of 2 effect monsters or 2 thunder monsters etc, they specifically call for sky striker monsters
