[JasonKlaczynski]: So outside of Japan block formats might not seem natural, but they are the formats the card designers had in mind. They're also easy to learn ...
Player A played Rocket's Admin. .
Put 4 cards to Deck
Put 12 cards to Deck
A has shuffled deck.

[JasonKlaczynski]: Compare this to a format like 2008, which mixes the EX and Diamond & Pearl blocks. You end up with Double Rainbow Energy and Scramble Energy in the same format

Attached a Holon's Castform to Feraligatr.
