Yay, a new card
from the new set, joy. =D
Charizard Lv.55 SW
Good day to you, hope you’ve had a great weekend.
Today’s COTD is the first COTD from the new Secret
Wonders set. This set looks really promising, having
many, many cards that will help there be more than
just a few decks floating around by the time
regional’s and world come around. But enough about
that, this Charizard is one of the first for a while
that I would call playable (Last one being the delta
one in the HP set.) Obviously the first thing most
people notice it the amazing 120 attack damage, and
the massive 130 HP. The Poke-body ‘Fury blaze’ is
great too, if your opponent has 3 or less prizes
left, 120 turns into 170! Wow, that is a ton of
damage, it can OHKO anything in modified. The attack
is great, for 3 (f) and a © you do 120 damage then
flip a coin if heads you discard two energies from
Charizard. If tails, you have to discard four
energies from Charizard. Dang, either have an easy
way to recharge Charizard, or pray that you get a
heads. The weakness is Ok, as even at +40 he is able
to survive a OHKO from most water pokemon. The
resistance is great as there is a lot of Mario
running around (As he always does *Video game joke*)
the retreat cost is a bit heavy, but can be played
around (Warp point anyone?) Just add this, Blaziken
w/ fire starter, and Typhlosion w/ fire starter and
you may be able to do 120 or 170 damage every turn!
Pros –
120 damage
130 HP
‘Fury Blaze’
Resistance to fighting
Cons –
+ 40 water weakness
3 retreat
Expensive (Energy wise)
Unlimited – way too slow, this card can do 120 in
4-6 turns, Sneasle can do in 2. 1/5
Modified – could work as long as you base the deck
around him. 4.25/5
Limited – too energy expensive, will rune you dry
before you win. 3.5/5
Someday, I may be calling this card the “Omega
pokemon BBQer” but for now…
“I have a mind like a steel trap; it is sharp and
illegal in 47 states.”

well... one of the
first pokemon ever... lets see if time has diminished it
any.
the HP is good, can survive a OHKO from just about
anything, though water tears this apart. simply, don't
play against water. again, like last week, fire is
getting countered harder than ever with the face of some
new water decks.
Fury Blaze is almost needed, considering how devastating
the attack can be to your own charizard, but It
effectively makes Blast Burn a OHKO on anything. even
pokemon ex can be nailed by this. only wailord can avoid
him, but then again, why are you playing chari against
him, and why is your opponent playing a wailord anyway??
^^
resistance is rather good, considering the mario decks (machamp/lucario)
that have been wrecking havoc.
all in all, alright, but I believe there are slightly
better choices for a fire deck these days, especially
when this one can discard four energies on the flip of a
coin. :-( we're doing another card this week that I like
much better. check for another fire poke later this week
Unlimited: 1.5/5
Modified: 3.1/5
Limited: 4/5 BURNINATION!!! |
