That Ability is honestly just a worse Escape Rope. How sad; I was hoping the first Colorless Hawlucha would be decent.

Thank goodness that Salamence is nowhere near as absurdly broken as it is in the video games. I mean, the card is kinda good-ish if you pair it with Reshiram (or Emboar in Expanded), but... yeah. At least it's better than any other promo Mega I've seen. And it looks like Pokémon Card Lab has...

Man, that Blastoise card looks amazing! If only it were any good...

"Sky Guardian"? When did Lugia become Ho-Oh?

Actually, スプーンまげ is the Japanese name of the move Kinesis in the video games. Though I agree that Uri Geller being beyond human reason has had a terrible effect on the game.

Man, that Tyranitar is BAAAAAD. It needs your opponent to be in a winning position for its acceleration, and there's no guarantee that you'll have Supporters in the top two cards of your deck, meaning it likely won't do anything worthwhile even if it gets powered up. Add to that the fact that...

Trick Coin and Fliptini don't stack.

Not a good card by any means, but the artwork is adorable.

The card that I think is most likely to see play here is Regirock-EX. Its Ability, Regi Power, is very similar to Deoxys-EX's Power Connect, which increases the power of Plasma 'mons. For that Ability alone, Deoxys-EX was a four-copy card in every serious Plasma deck, because +30-40 power for...

A 120-damage attack you can use while Asleep? Noice. Three Energy is kinda cumbersome, though. Hypno's an obvious partner for this thing. I don't see this being a deck on its own because 120 damage on its own isn't "main attack" material in today's game, but it might be a nice secondary...

Oh my God, Standard finally has another good draw Supporter again! Too bad it's the "cheap comeback" Supporter that we've been used to since Noble Victories, way back in 2011.

Yep, exactly. One damage counter = 10 damage, always. For example, here's something a lot of people get confused about: M Glalie-EX's Cryo Mouth, which requires 10 damage counters to do more damage. A lot of threads have been made on the PTCGO forums asking why it doesn't do more damage when it...

A 50 counter actually counts as 5 damage counters, so no, you can't do that. The text means you can put each damage counter on any Pokémon; for example, you can put two on one Pokémon, one on another, and one on yet another. Or you can just put all four on one. You have that kind of freedom with...

Geez, no one can spell Froslass right. That aside, I love the art on this card. As for playability, I'm not so sure. Yes, the Ability can be very frustrating, but as Chandelure has practically proven, that Ability alone won't make it viable. The attack sounds interesting for sniping, since it...

Kind of a mediocre Flareon card, though Blacksmith + Flash Fire does let it do 110 damage in one turn. I still don't see it being that good, to be honest. Can't wait to see its artwork, though. And I'm really curious to see what an attack called "Magical Symphony" would do.

I can't wait to try out that Trevenant BREAK. It's nice to finally have a BREAK that actually looks good, both aesthetically and competitively. That Fighting Fury Belt, though... between that and the Garbodor "reprint", I wouldn't be surprised if every deck in Standard started including...

Taking four Prizes off a Mega... yikes. Of course, this doesn't automatically make it good. For one thing, it takes three Energy, meaning there's no real way to charge it up in one turn in Standard (Expanded gives you Dark Patch). For another, it only does 70 damage, and pretty much every Mega...

Yep, I had a feeling this card wasn't gonna be good. Greninja hasn't been given a very good way in the TCG thus far, and this Ash-Greninja just screamed "yet another terrible promo" to me.

This is why Game Freak needs to adopt a better strategy to hide their "secret" Legendaries. We haven't had one that was actually secret in years!

Wow, they are intentionally trying to be creepy with this thing. That artwork... that Ability name... Well, the Ability itself probably won't see much play. There's always the chance of your opponent waking up on a coin flip going into their turn. Also, unless you can use something like Zoroark...
