For each heads, choose a random card from your opponent's hand. Your opponent reveals that card and shuffles it into his or her deck. Weakness is Fighting ×2. Resistance is Metal -20.

I keep a set binder for Ancient Origins, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Ancient Origins set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Rotom can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
