The card’s flavor text emphasizes a strategic trade-off, allowing players to use it only after discarding a hand card.

However, the card explicitly prohibits selecting the Energy card discarded through this specific mechanism. The card’s number in the set is 48, though its rarity is unspecified. This Trainer card focuses on resource management by repurposing discarded resources, offering a unique gameplay mechanic tied to Energy card manipulation.

You may use this card only if you discard a card from your hand. Choose up to 2 basic Energy cards from your discard pile, and put them into your hand. (You can't choose the card you discarded with the effect of this card.)
