Wo-Chien ex, Flamigo Illustrator Rare, and More from “Snow Hazard” and “Clay Burst!”
- Thread starter Water Pokémon Master
- Start date
Yesss Wo-Chien confirmation! So happy
Wo-Chien moment
Flamigo's ability gives me the feeling that it'd have some out-there niche even outside of the dangerous wings context, essentially being a way to grab 3 basic pokemon from the deck immediately to your hand. Maybe something in expanded wants that, for whatever reason.

Also, they need to update the damage of Night March-like decks. 20x seems so outdated for the meta, on a deck that forces you to dump bunch of Pokemon, to hit standard amount of damage. 30x should be fine with. The last time we got this, it wasn't that effective to be a top-tier deck.
The disaster stadium cards have awesome art, they remind me of classic land cards from MTG. The Stadium cards from the first year of the SwSh block were really boring so I'm glad we're not getting a repeat of that.
Giacomo?!?!?! EACH??? or is that a typo?
I can't wait to see the full art and illustration rare artworks of Wo-Chien, just so we can have different takes on the Live Wo-Chien reaction meme; it's not likely, but I'm hoping for an extreme close up on the illustration rare.

Finally, someone is with me. I have to agree with you. 20x seems pretty low for a deck that forces to dump bunch of Pokemon just to do a decent amt. 30x should be the new standard, especially if we only get Murkrow, Flamigo, and Wattrel for this deck.

Hoppip/Skiploom/Jumpluff - another GLC stuff that Standard doesn't care. 3/3/3
Wo-Chien ex - finally, a better use of Forretress in the late-game. I love things like this, making Forretress' ability wasn't down the drain. 4-5
Giacomo - I need a clear translation, something ain't right on this. Widespread Special Discard seems not right. 3-4
Spiritomb - I see why people are hyping too much on Squawkabilly. 4
Murkrow/Flamigo - Flamigo's ability is a good head start, altho same argument as before, 20x seems pretty low. 4/4
Disastrous Tundra/ Calamitous Wasteland - as if Old Cemetery was playable back then. 3-4 each

Not a typo. But this question is always asked when a powerful card is revealed. ?
Wait, I just realized something. This would be a FANTASTIC time to introduce Ice and Ground types. Chien-Pao and Ting-Lu are the two mascots of these sets and they've revealed two new Stadiums that explicitly benefit Pokemon that live in Deserts and Icy mountains respectively?? I don't think it's crazy of me to say that if they added some more cards to support them besides the stadiums, this would've been a good time to bring in Ice and Ground types.
And to add onto this upon further reflection: They're gonna do Type-changing Terastal Pokemon soon, so if they added Ice and Ground types, wouldn't it be smart to throw in a couple Tera ex Pokemon for those two to promote it? Jesus, the marketing writes itself...
ONE MORE THING!!! Chi-Yu is weak to Ground. Wo-Chien is weak to Ice. If they waited, they could've done a cool theme thing where they could sell a Wo-Chien Vs. Chien-Pao deck pack and a Chi-Yu Vs. Ting-Lu deck pack.
I rest my case.

Oh, I LOVE these stadium cards! I hope that stadium artstyle will be a trend for this gen. (a fossil can dream, right?)
I could see Mew potentially adapting around it, and even use it to its advantage by making the Drapion useless in some decks with the attack cost reduction being negated. It's a double edged sword, but I think Mew is gonna be the only deck worried about this card anyway, so it's a win imo.

Even Mew decks run Aerodactyl VSTAR for this matchup. Sacrificing Genesect's draw engine.
Empoleon V, Galarian Zapdos V, Zacian V, Genesect V, Lumineon V, Wyrdeer V, Drapion V.
Buddy, I don't think that's one
