The strategy of the Holon Engine is to use Holon [[Supporter card (TCG)|supporters]] to quickly burn through the player's deck and root out the cards they need to put together combos very early in the game (known as an {{TCG|Engine}}). The key card in the deck is {{TCG ID|EX Delta Species|Holon Transceiver|98}}, which allows a player to search their deck for any [[Supporter card (TCG)|Supporter]] card with Holon in its name and add it to their hand. | ||

The Holon Engine became the dominant | The Holon Engine became the dominant Trainer engine in the TCG, particularly after the introduction of Holon Adventurer in the {{TCG|EX Holon Phantoms}} set. As a result, components of the engine ({{TCG ID|EX Delta Species|Holon Transceiver|98}} especially) became highly valuable, making it difficult for players with limited resources to construct competitive decks. The high value for these cards has been listed by [[Play! Pokémon]] officials as a reason for the {{TCG|rotation}} of {{TCG|EX Delta Species}} out of the 2007-2008 Modified format. | ||
