The sets they were in were removed in a {{TCG|Rotation}}, so the cards were no longer allowed.

Cards like {{TCG ID|Base Set|Bill|91}} would be exchanged for cards like {{TCG ID|EX Dragon Frontiers|TV Reporter|82}} and {{TCG ID|Base Set|Pokémon Breeder|76}} would be swapped out for {{TCG ID|EX Holon Phantoms|Rare Candy|90}}.

[[Supporter card (TCG)|Supporter cards]] would speed up the deck and make drawing and burning through cards easy and efficient. It could very well be the common standard for a well-built strategic deck of today's Pokémon TCG. | ||
