Like me, many of you will be sure to attend the next Pre-release of the new Pokemon Dragon Exaulted set and are itching to to get your hands on the new cards. Here, I'll be giving my personal take on cards to look for in the set when you start deck building. A lot of us here know how different a pre-release is from tournaments like city's and regionals, so I'll be focusing on cards that are huge game changers for that format. Will all the cards I list make an appearance, Who knows? Here we go...
#1 Emolga
Why do I think emolga outranks all others? Not only becuase it's cute but also because of its first attack "Call for Family" can search out any 2 basics from your deck to the bench, and is also equiped with free retreate. This allows Emolga to be played in any deck and 70hp can last it a long enough time for you to stall.
#2 Rayquaza-EX
The big honcho himself is on the scene with a move that can thin the deck in search of energies for his next big attack, "Dragon Burst." At the cost of two energies, 60 damage on its own is enough to finish your opponants in this game. The drawback is you only have 4 prize cards in a pre-release and losing Rayquaza means losing half the game. If you don't wanna run into that risk, you better hope to get a regular Rayquaza.
#3 Ultra Ball
Need I say more?
#4 Sigilyph
As scary as Rayquaza and his fellow EX's are, they're nothing to sigiglyph. This weird egyptian flyer nagates all damage done to it by EX's forcing your opponent to change tactics giving you a window of opportunity however small. It's attack on the other hand does take time to set up, but is well wourth it.
#4 Professor Juniper
Don't go lying to me saying you never had a crap hand in a pre-release before. This is an excellent refresher incase you end up stuck and supporters are always great to get your hands on.
#5 Terrakion-EX
I forget why
#6 Rufflet
It may be small but its a bird with a lot of heart and its "birdwhistle" attack searches your deck for any two Pokemon with a Fighting Resistance to your hand. This includes another Rufflet, Murkrow, Honchcrow, Swablu, Ho-Oh-EX, Emolga, Yanma, Yanmega, and of course Braviary.
#7 Large Cloak
inceasing HP means living longer in battle, just becareful who you use it on.
#8 Manectric
An attack that does 20x damage for each energy attached to all of your opponents Pokemon and an attack with sniping. Zero reteat and 90hp make Manectric a good team player in this game.
#9 Roserade
The move Poison Barb insures poison status so instead of 60, your doing 70 plus weakening your targets.
#10 Cheren
Have cards that still serve a use but need someting new? test your luck with your three new cards for something good.
well those are my top 10 cards to watch out for. What I listed is based off of playability and are just my opinions.
