What Grass can do
Grass trades raw damage for healing and staying power — the cheap attackers are ordinary and the payoff is a board that will not die.

Gets energy down faster
One energy attaches per turn on its own. These are every card that beats that rate for Grass, the quickest to play first.
Pulling any of these means opening packs. See the accounts for sale
55 Grass 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.
