(1) Mewtwo EX from 'Psycho Drive' Revealed! [8/9]

I'm guessing Snowpoint Temple is going to be reprinted, just because Pokemon loves messing with its fan base. I really like the art, but I hate that fact they are bringing HP count so high, I am tried of having to deal like 150 Damage to OHKO things.

The 2 prizes for the KO makes things reasonable, I guess.
 
Love the coming back of the ex cards. It's getting me interested in getting back into collection TCG from when I collected during the ex era, and it seems like that's the aim of the Pokemon Company. Overall, I really want to get this even though I haven't picked a pokemon card since D/P.
 
Mewtwo EX+Eviolite+Defenders+Plus Powers+Energy Accelorator= Dead TCG Format.

ITS A BASIC WITH 170 HP THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN ONE SHOT THAT WITHOUT A SECOND MEWTWO. This game is getting too much power creep. Way too much power creep.
 
So we get a Speed Stadium Reprint(Kinda) and Mewtwo EX sucks(except it's HP), yep more of the same, one day there will be a god mewtwo, just not next year.
 
Jirachi/Shaymin could make a decent, although inconsistent, engine for Mewtwo. I don't wanna depend on flips to charge up.

Ya, Mewtwo EX is awesome, but I can't wait to see the others! Its confirmed that there is going to be a Reshiram EX, Zekrom EX, and Kyurem EX! I want to see the artwork on those really bad!
 
I just have a couple concerns over bringing EX cards back. Though I loved that series overall, I really didn't like that they greatly overshadowed and diminished the worth of regular pokemon and EX cards became the main focus of most decks, which is something I was glad disappeared with Diamond&Pearl.

At the least the Legend cards were difficult to get out and Lv. X cards were usually only 2 per deck and required you to have their normal form before getting out in play. They were more like secret weapons if anything. I'm just really hoping there are some rules to these new EX Pokemon, because right now I see them being a bit unbalanced, but who knows maybe I'll be wrong.
 
^Your Username describes how the rest of the EX's will be if they stay at a similar HP level.

Pretty dang awesome, though. Can't wait until they are released here in the US.

How are you even complaining about power creep when youre trying to one shot it?? Its a great thing to have ccards with un-OHKO-able. It weakens othe cards relatively. The only reason to complain that you cant do the math
 
...these cards look amazing! I think that basics with this much HP are totally broken. The stadium also looks like we're finally going to get some drawpower this format!!!
 
Mewtwo EX's art is amazing! Hopefully Shizurow will be doing a good number of EX cards.

I'm really looking forward to this set.
 
Wow, the artwork for Mewtwo EX is amazing. Battle City doesn't look too bad either, though it's hard to tell given the quality.

Can't wait to see the remaining EX cards. Hopefully their artwork will at least look as good as Mewtwo's.

Dude, its a 170 HP basic with an attack that does 120 by T3, maybe T2 with energy acceleration. It has a weakness that is pretty hard to hit because there aren't that many good damaging psychic cards out there, and the only real downside is that it gives the opponent 2 prizes when its KO'd. You can SSU it to instantly restore it, retreat for two and Seeker (which is at least better than Reshi and Zekky,) recover the energy with Fisherman or Energy Retrieval or something, get out more of them With Collector, and if any die, spam Revives. To give it more bulk, you can give it Eviolites and Defenders, making it possible to survive two Reshi/Zekky attacks and possibly OHKOing back with a Plus Power. This card needs to be nerfed before its release or this format is gonna die.
 
Since we're likely to get this in the U.S,I'm already planning a deck for Mewtwo EX.So far,it involves Mewtwo EX,Evolite,Ability Emboar and maybe some Reshirams on the side.Revive wouldn't be such a bad idea either...
 
Mewtwo EX is insane!!!!1!!111!!!!

Seriously, 170 HP is borderline unKOable. Both of its attacks are pretty good, not great, but good enough to make this thing very dangerous. If Mewtwo is this good then Kyrem and the rest of them have to be just as good. But if the Basic EX has 170 HP then imagine how much HP the stage 2s could have (its over 9000!!!).

Also to those saying that this going to ruining the format, please reserve that judgment until all of the EXs have been revealed. You are basing your opinion on one super powerful card among 8 (since it says there are 2 subsets of 4 super rares each).

The one thing that does sadden me now though is that card prices will once again sky rocket. I hate having all these super rare cards that you need to have 4 of in order to have a working deck. I thought paying $100 for 2 luxray lv.x was bad, now it'll be $200 for 4 mewtwo EX. UGH!!!
 
Well, I can undoubtedly see Mewtwo EX being played.
170 HP on a basic.
Can spam DCE.
Combos well with Jirachi UL and Shaymin UL. Right after a Mewtwo is knocked out, if you're lucky, you can recharge another one right there.

It can counter itself, too. With a single PlusPower and a DCE, assuming an opposing Mewtwo EX has a DCE of its own, your own Mewtwo EX can one-shot another.

Just goes to show that basics are dominating the format, and will continue to do so for a long time.
