Trivia
Legendary Ascent may refer to the fact that Articuno is a member of the legendarybirds and that, being a bird, it ascends from the skies.
The effect of Cold Crush was later errata'd so that, for the discard effect on the opponent's side of the field, the player using the attack was the one who chose the Energy card to be discarded, not the player's opponent.
