Head Noiser, M Manectric-EX, Chandelure from ‘Phantom Gate’ [8/29]

I thought of it, wouldn't manectric basically be Dynamotors in a virizion's attack with thundurus's typing except it goes to any pokemon, not just team plasma?

Perhaps I can keep on sniping pokemon for 150 with blaziken(Furious fists) and then i come with manectric and reattach the energies to the surviving blazikens.

And I hope for the last XY set all ofthe mega stones will be printed in the end, would be so cool, but eh, whatever
 
Here's my review:

M Manectric-EX:
A really balanced mega, we will see a spirit link for this too, for sure.
Would have loved just any energy not only basic energies but would maybe be a bit of too much wished for. :D
But anyways it's a instant kill for Yveltal Ex!
Looking forward for the "base EX" and see what it can do.

Chandelure:
Underwhelming. You overestimate the power of that ability, since we still got hypnotoxic laser in the meta and it's still a coin flip.
The attack on a stage 2 isn't too great too. Why not 7 and have a play on words with death? (Would have been awesome ;))
The "orignal" fainting spell was also back then just a gimmick, not a strategy.

Head Noiser:
The possibilty for equiping the opponents Pokémon is exciting but the card is crappy. I wouldn't play it.
Against non-EX it's useless and even against EX increasing the attack by 1 isn't really distrupting.
And the opponents EX must not be equipped but that chance is really low, most ppl will now drop the muscle band early and leave you with wasted space in your deck and an useless card on the hand.

Except then you can just megaphone
 
You can megaphone, true but... MEH! It uses a slot for a card that can have a much better, bigger impact!
 
I thought a long time about that, but the Chandelure really is bad. Even if it may have a good Ability, it still requires coin flip, plus, there's a bunch other methods how to kill it without direct damage (Hypnotox, placing damage counters), which doesn't activates its Ability. Plus: the attack. Placing 6 damage counters for [P][C][C] on a stage 2 Pokémon? The only Chandelure I like so remains the original one from NVI and kilometers further are the PLF and NXD ones. Not counting the EX one.
Anyway, you probably can't get him into play, because of the modern trend to play big basics (Yveltal, Mewtwo, VirGen), so I assume, its destinied to see no play.
 
True, now you have to be weary of playing this card and later needing to megaphone, which would be a waste and detrimental to using the card itself (God knows how many times a floatstone hits the bench when you don't want it too). Tool Scrapper being out of the format really hurts this card (and would help for removing it)
At least Metal will be playable and I have a couple of Skarmory-EX sitting around..

Also, just realized that M Manectric OHKO Pyroar! I love this card more and more..
If we don't get a Spirit Link for it... Wasn't Gengar's a Promo card? *gulp*
 
What do you think the rarity of the Spirit Link Cards are going to be? I'm thinking it will be a rare, but it my just settle for an uncommon like most trainer cards.
 
The head noiser card could be paired with seismitoad EX/ garbador to further hinder. In the right deck it will be good. M Manectric is good even if we dont get a spirt link card for it, 2 energy for 110 damage and 2 basic energy from discard onto bench is really good.
 
Who here thinks that in the final Xy there should be all the mega stones as ace specs or so[ to prevent something like overflows of megas] and for the megas that were made and perhaps the futured planned ones.

The existence of Spirit Link cards basically nullify any chance of mega stones appearing in the TCG, especially as ACE SPEC cards (as that mechanic has very clearly been discontinued). That, and printing so many different cards as ultra rares would take up a fifth of the overall set, and make pull ratios incredibly annoying.
 
Head noiser seems amazing to me, can't wait I think it'l be played in most decks. It's like energy removal honestly. You guys know how enhanced hammer is very good (or was depending on rotations) its the same thing as that card, but doesnt require a special xD. Only thing that makes it worst is it doesnt stack but, atleast it prevents items being attached as a different kind of advantage. Could definitely be better in the late game where someone is out of energies as well and was relying on a three energy genesect, all of the sudden they are screwed.

The manectric looks great as well assuming his regular ex version is good, I dont think the chand will be that good.
