Hello all Pojoheads. Here's another of my (in)famous same-named card
comparisons...


MEWTWO! Oog, how can I compare these two apples/oranges cards? Well, I'll
try. First off, I want to get one thing straight. You will notice that I
will praise Base Mewtwo for its stalling ability. However, I think that the
MulliMewtwo deck is the VERY WORST THING that has EVER happened to Pokémon.
These decks are BRAINLESS (scratch that. MIND-NUMBING). If you make/use one,
you have earned my DISrespect for the rest of our Pokémon lives. But enough.
OK, Base Mewtwo is a VERY situational card. He's pretty good against most
decks without colorless, especially water and fire. However, he has REALLY
BAD HP for his task. 60 HP isn't TOO bad, just in situations like this.
However, Mewtwo has a hidden side. A darker side. A less merciful side. Yes,
this is when he is used to STALL! HA HA HA HA!! This has to be THE greatest
stalling card in the game. No coinflip, nothing, just a discard. A few
Energy Searches and Retrievals and this guy can win the game for you, in
late game at least. Even effects other than damage can't get through. A
great staller and and an OK attacker in a pinch against most high
energy-ers, but a defender is probably in order. Now, Promo Mewtwo is a very
strong card. VERY strong. Potential turn 2 40 rocks, although it very rarely
happens :P. 70 HP, guaranteed 40, and taking Energy from the discard pile is
REALLY good. However, there is one misconception people have with this guy,
that he's immune to ER. Not so. You can take the energy right out of the
discard pile, but then your turn is over. They have the "turn advantage", or
they get to attack first and get an extra hit on you. Not good. Still, this
card is VERY strong.

MY PREFERENCE: I play these both in my Psychic deck, and I just have to say
that they both rock. This is my unjustified opinion (note: OPINION): I like
the base better, because I play stall a lot. The other one rocks equally, I
just like Stall decks a lot better than smackdown.

A note, guys: I have gotten lots of negative feedback on my articles in the
past. These are my opinion. I have my reasons, and then I form my own
personal opinion. If I make an error, like in my last article I said
Rapidash was out of print (thanks everyone who corrected that error! ;)),
please tell me about it. But if you think that the Promo Mewtwo (for
example) is better, you are entitled to your opinion, but I'm entitled to
mine. If you have some new aspect I didn't mention about the one I like
less, tell me! I just may change my mind! Thanks everyone.

C'ya later Pojoheads!
