Play relevance and format

Thwackey SV005/SV122 carries Regulation Mark D and is therefore legal in Expanded and Gym Leader Challenge, but not legal in the Standard format. The card’s ability, Lay of the Land, can offer strategic advantages in certain deck types, especially if you often have Stadium cards in play. The shiny variant also makes it a visually unique inclusion in any deck.
