What Colourless can do

Colourless is not a deck type — you cannot choose it in the energy menu. It is the cards that fit in every deck you do build, which makes this the most reusable list on the site.

Because these fit anywhere, treat the ranking as a shopping list rather than a deck. The turn counts assume you are paying with whatever energy your deck already runs.

Hits hardest, soonest

Gets energy down faster

One energy attaches per turn on its own. These are every card that beats that rate for Colourless, the quickest to play first.

Pulling any of these means opening packs. See the accounts for sale

74 Colourless cards are left out of the ranking because their damage is a coin flip, a multiplier or conditional. Current as of Team Rocket’s Ambition.
