Dragapult Stage 2 Ability Lock Spread

Dragapult ex is the kind of card that has everything you might want: 320 HP, an excellent attack in Phantom Dive, a stage 1 that acts as a draw engine, and, in Expanded, access to Double Dragon Energy to attack for only one Energy card.

However, it is held back by the sheer power level of the format, where attacks like Kyurem's Trifrost are a common threat. Dragapult does have its strengths, but for the most part, if you want to play it in Expanded, you should first wander: if I'm going to attack with Phantom Dive, why not play Regidrago instead?
