Regice

Description

The 2022 Pokémon Astral Radiance Regice card, numbered 37, introduces a powerful Basic Water-type Pokémon to the collection. Designed by artist aoki, this Rare card brings the legendary ice entity to the tabletop with a striking presence and functional gameplay capabilities. As part of the Astral Radiance set, it appeals to collectors seeking specific set completions and players interested in its unique mechanics. Regice boasts 130 HP and offers two distinct attacks that provide strategic depth. The Colorless Regi Gate attack allows players to search their deck for any Basic Pokémon and place it onto their Bench, followed by shuffling the deck. This ability provides crucial setup potential early in the game. Alternatively, the Water Blizzard Bind attack deals 100 damage but includes a conditional effect: if the Defending Pokémon is a Pokémon V, it cannot attack during the opponent's next turn. This control-oriented mechanic makes Regice a versatile choice for disrupting opponent strategies. With a retreat cost of 3, Regice requires careful management of Energy resources, adding a layer of tactical decision-making to its use. The card carries the Regulation Mark F, ensuring it remains relevant within official tournament standards. Collectors value this card for its clean design and the iconic status of the Regi trio within Pokémon lore. Whether you are building a themed deck around the Regis or simply completing the Astral Radiance checklist, this card offers both aesthetic and mechanical appeal.
