# Magnezone #46/135 — Plasma Storm

## Summary

Magnezone's Dual Brains let a deck run two Supporters per turn, which made this printing a real engine piece in Black & White-era Lightning and Magnezone-based builds. A plain Rare, it was never a chase slot, so demand comes from players and Sinnoh nostalgia, with 5ban Graphics credited.
