RE: (1) 90+ 'Unleashed' Scans [4/28]
Ouch...Even the Manaphy and Magmortar that isn't up yet isn't anything to get crazy about...there are a select few rare cards worth noting...
That Jirachi could be kind of fun, but again, with so many basics in SP, it won't see that much help, short of KO'ing a Croconaw.
Metagross is a fair Sniper, 3 Energy for 80 damage, 40 to anything - kind of bad weakness with Gengar, but still great artwork!
I do like the idea of Onix in a Water deck, but unless you're playing Blastoise, the healing will probably be wasted.
Interviewer's Questions will go in a Rain Dance Deck, Totodile, RC, Feraligatr and IQ on turn 1 or 2...should be a nice combo.
Judge might be a good card to surpass PONT, with some good disruption, but it could help your opponent, I guess Let Loose gets a card.
I like Crobat, and when Unown G leaves, Poison will be painful, forcing retreat AFTER 4 damage counters, and a cheap 30 snipe.
I think Kingdra is gonna be the top dog of this set, 110 Damage to Donphan for 1 energy, that's something to say. Bad weakness is the only issue with this card, Crobat G has a new best friend. That works every turn w/o poketurns. That is stackable. Kingatr's gonna be there with split weaknesses, quick power, and later explosive power with Crunch.
Lanturn is this season's Verdant Dance, you need the electric energy, but also a good combo with Rain Dance.
Steelix is slow in the beginning, unless you get energy in the Discard. Loaded up with Special Metal's and you have a stadium killing tank! Fire isn't widely played, but will probably go up when Ninetales becomes the fire type Claydol.
Tyranitar is a brute, I never used Spinning Tail unless it was a convienient win with SF T-Tar, but for only 1 energy, let the spreading begin, along with other attacks to keep pressure up. Megaton Tail with Special Dark's will KO anything in the format.
In fact, Darkness Howl could come in handy with Ursaring, 90 damage plus a deck discard for a DCE plus change, or 120 for 2 DCE's. Both T-Tar and Ursaring have bad weaknesses, but maybe Donphan will be played a little less with a new Kingdra.
The Beasts w/o the box....maybe it'll be in the next POP set...
Entei-Raikou would be tight with Manectric
Raikou-Suicune has 110 HP and the 2 worst Weaknesses (and gives up 2 prizes)
Suicune-Entei is just plain too hard to set up short of Rain Dance, along with bad weaknesses.
Nah, they look cool, and their attacks are strong, but slow and 2 prizes isn't that fun to give up for 1. If you play these, make their lives worth their while, buy them a bubble coat
EDIT - Engineer's Control, that's the card that is Steelix Prime's best friend!
Also, I wonder if we'll be able to send Stadium Cards back to our hand
or our opponent's
