Speaking of said Goomy, since Ariados works from the bench you can stack them in Expanded and with Wondrous Labyrinth too... unfortunately for said combo it's not that hard to get around, especially in Expanded.

Spinarak/Ariados - too iffy ability. 3/3

Can't wait for a Unova Pokemon that hasn't got a card for 7 years

 

[ShinyNoivern]

Neat ability on the ariados but it's a stage one so that makes it a less viable card.

 

[Polaris]

Almost all Vstar powers are abilities anyway...

It effects all attacks Pokémon Vstar would be using not just Vstar Powers that happen to be attacks the way the card seems to be worded.

Ah, nice catch. That's much more interesting!

Are you sure? Why the likes of Giratina, Arceus, and Palkia are still one of the best decks in Standard? Bold of you assuming that this cards broke the meta when it isn't. Dude, watch some tournaments online or the likes of JustinBasil for the list Top Decks in Standard, in order to justify your statement, not just blast away without doing proper research.

Sorry in advance to hate you, but at least, at least know what you're saying. That's why I always do negative reviews on some cards, because my first impressions on the cards doesn't captivate or convince me that this is a good card, when it isn't.

I think you could include a single copy of this into a zoroark box. Assuming you're not playing in an open decklist event, I can imagine this card really messing up your opponent if timed well.

 

[Da idiot]

Love this, very much a 2005 or 2008 style of card

I don’t know what decks that we have right now will use it, but I can definetly see this pop up in decks that can fit in jolteon capsule

So, arc bibarel + alternative attacker(s)
Palkia bibarel
Palkia intel
Vikavolt?
Zoroark toolbox?
Zoroark vstar? So palkia can’t keep up as much.
Controll?
Sylveon vmax?

Isn't it the same for you? Pretty sure the guy was kidding, but holi cannoli you went and jumped down his throat..

I agree. Take a chill pill.

 

[FireLizard]

I can hear the screams of the forgotten Pokémon lines

 

[Brunchik]

No too good, can be useful in zoroark toolbox deck maybe

B-But, but he rates cards on a forum! He's an authority! He has every right to display a pretentious, holier-than-thou attitude to anyone he sees fit!

But seriously... I don't get why people have to be so hostile over something like this, that in the worst case is a bit misguided, and in the best (most likely case), just a joke.

 

[Ma Ru Pu]

oof, this confirms no Lileep / Cradily in the set
