I have hopes for Virizion, too. We already have a Terrakion that can OHKO Darkrai, so that ability is just overkill. Still, in decks that run DCE + Blend GFPD or Prism could have some fun with that Virizion.
These are probably my favorite legends in BW(2). I'm getting it. Seems like we're getting some interesting stuff in the spring. Plasma Storm gift box thing, tins, this, etc.
Well the cards are mediocre, I think the packs are nice.
Everyone says Virizion and terrakion are playble, but I think the cobalion will be the best of 3. Flip a coin? 3 heads? 110 damage? Extra 50 for darkness? And whats this? Fliptini is gonna be paired with cobalion? I know what deck I'm making.
They're all horrible. The Terrakion misses out on the crucial 90 that its NV brother hits, while needing more energy. Dealing more damage to dark is useless because Terrakion NV already OHKOs every Dark type.
Virizion is easily the worst of the litter. 50 damage for 3 is terrible, and 80 damage for 3 is still lackluster. Its also got a meager 100 hp, making it much easier to OHKO than the others.
Cobalion still isn't very good. For one, steel hits nothing useful for weakness (shut up Kyurem nobody likes you any more) unlike Fighting hitting Darkrai and Grass hitting Keldeo (EX) and the Blastoise line. Cobalion's NV brethren does the same or more damage if you split 0 or 1 heads and also has a nice bonus effect (not hard to get around with Keldeo EX and/or Darkrai, but its better than nothing) so even with Fliptini Cobalion needs to consistently flip 2 heads to be worth it, unless its facing a Darkrai in which case why not just use Terrakion NV. 120 isn't as important a number any more with Reshiram and Zekrom mostly out of the action and Kyurem EX never in it, but its still not quite as good as Terrakion because Rayquaza EX can OHKO for 2 energy instead of 3 and an Eviolite still won't save this Cobalion from say Hydreigon. Even if you're doing 100-120 per turn, even if you're not getting OHKOed, what then? It takes 2-3 energy to power him up and he has no acceleration, unlike Keldeo EX which does the same or more damage for the same energy. Klinklang BW is not acceleration, he's energy manipulation. He allows you to heal, but as mentioned earlier Cobalion is not all that hard to OHKO, so you're better off using something that is nearly guaranteed to take at least 2 hits, like an EX.

Everyone has their opinion, I agree for Terrakion though.Dark Void said:
