I personally think ALL EX pokémon revealed thus far, with the exception of Mewtwo (and maybe Regigigas as it shows potential), to be complete rubbish; kind of like the EX's from the Ruby/Sapphire main set. People are all like ''wow, double 50 snipe is nice!'', but don't forget that if we go back to the EX-block, games will take about 3 KO's for a game. This means a much, much faster meta, making sniping nearly useless. Also take into account that with the new EX's HP values and such, an avarage of 4 ''sniping'' with Kyogre Ex would be needed; and most opponents won't allow you to do that.
Shaymin EX is in my opinion what a Shaymin Prime should have been (ok, ok, maybe with about 20 less HP or so, and the 2nd attack a bit nerfed too maybe) in my opinion; the entire card is great, except for that little bit where it says your opponent gets two prizes for KO'ing this. Sure, it can punish an opponent from taking an early lead, and it will work great in any Lost World deck as they already take into account to lose a few prizes, but when this becomes really good you should be behind in prizes (early on), or go for a full swing (late game). In either scenario, I see Shaymin EX smacking something, and leaving the table already. Only time will tell I guess! I have nothing but love for the art though!
I also HIGHLY dislike the new FA EX's, as it completely ruins the whole purpose of the EX's art; which should ''jump out of the card frame'', and this is completely killed by making the card full art in the first place. To me the unique poses the ''normal'' EX's have look a LOT more appealing than some random pose where you can see the entire pokémon standing.
And since my favorite colours are Purple and Green, I MUST obtain both that Zoroark and Hydreigon cards!!
