I am sure this has been asked but the forum search tool isn't working, so I can't find the answer. Would you mind answering it for me?

Can energy retrieval be used to retrieve rainbow energy cards from the discard pile?
Can energy retrieval be used to retrieve prism energy cards from the discard pile?

Robokayaker,

The short answer is, no. Energy Retrieval can not retrieve either Rainbow or Prism Energies.

Energy Retrieval puts basic energies from your discard pile into your hand.

Rainbow and Prism Energies are not Basic Energy types and as such are not valid targets for Energy Retrieval.

Hope that helps,

Pope
