Strategy & play
How Maractus plays — derived from its stats and the rules of the game, not an opinion.
- Not a main attacker — its job is card draw. Run it as a consistency hub and protect it, because opponents will target the engine.
- Attacks on any Energy (Colorless cost) — splashable into any deck regardless of type.
- Grass type, weak to Fire ×2 — a Fire attacker doing ≥55 effectively one-shots it.
- A single-prize attacker — prize-trade-positive against ex / V decks that give up two at a time.
- Seen in 1% of recent tournament decks that can run it, usually 1 copy.
- Currently Standard-legal — usable in the main rotating format.
How to beat Maractus
- Exploit its Fire weakness — ≥55 damage one-shots it.
- KO it to choke their draw / search engine.

Frequently asked
How can I tell if my Maractus is real?
Maractus is not on our list of commonly-counterfeited cards, but counterfeits exist across every set. Check the back-light test (real cards have a black inner layer that blocks light; counterfeits glow through), the rosette dot pattern on the back under magnification, font weight and kerning on the card name, and the holofoil pattern if applicable. For high-value copies we recommend submitting to a professional grader (PSA, BGS, CGC) for tamper-evident authentication.
