Why ruin the TCG with Iron Hands ex?

The era of big bulky basics and ADP was dull and boring, why are we going back to this style of format when things seemed to be getting better for evolution decks? Now every low HP Pokémon is a two prize liability and single prize decks have lost their only advantage over multiple prize Pokémon.

A sad day in the TCG.
