 Modified - Fire Dance does decent damage while you charge up 
					1 of your Benched Pokemon with fire energy. Flame Kick 
					combos with DRE. Discard it to do 70 damage to any Pokemon. 
					But if you just charge it up with regular fire energy, you 
					can OHKO Claydols sitting on the bench. One thing I don't 
					like about this guy is he doesn't do massive damage. So if 
					your opponent has a Gallade or something active that's 
					capable of doing OHKO after OHKO, Blaziken might not be able 
					to keep up. 3/5
 
 Limited - Stage 2s are hard to get out. If you do though, 
					you'll have a fun time destroying the opponent's Bench. 3/5

						Name: Blaziken Lv. 56Set: Great Encounters
 Rarity: Rare Holo
 
 Analysis: This Blaziken is definitely impressive. It has 
						huge HP at 130, a nice retreat cost of 1, and a decent 
						weakness to the seemingly forgotten Water-type. Fire 
						Dance is a nice, cheap attack but is redundant if you 
						are using Blaziken PK (which you should) with this. 
						Flame Kick is awesome, because even if you are using 
						(and/or discarding) a Double Rainbow Energy, 70 damage 
						is still enough to knockout a benched Delcatty, Magneton, 
						Absol, Pachirisu, etc etc. Being able to hit any of your 
						opponent's Pokemon for 80 damage is great! I think that 
						Blaziken may beat out Typhlosion in some Magmortar 
						decks, so watch out and remember: Nobody is safe when 
						Blaziken is around!
 
 Modified: Definitely a great card by itself. But when 
						matched with its Power Keepers counterpart, he becomes 
						lethal! Basically, I have nothing bad to say about this 
						Blaziken! (5/5)
 
 Limited: Great here, becasue it can hit anywhere and 
						still recycle energies. Put that with 130 HP and a tiny 
						retreat cost of 1, Blaziken makes the pain of getting a 
						Stage 2 out worth it. (4/5)

 Hello people. Today’s COTD is a possible new competitor 
						for ‘the mad monkey man’ Infernape. 130 HP is nice, 30 
						more than the monkey, but that 1 retreat is more than 
						‘the nimble banana eater’ Infernape’s awesome 0 retreat 
						cost. The first attack on Blaziken could see more play 
						than ‘the flaming poo bomber’ Infernape because of the 
						energy acceleration and the lack of coin flips. The 
						second attack is the one that needs to be compared the 
						most though, Blaziken does 80 to anything for 2 (Fire) 1 
						(C) with 2 (Fire) discard, and ‘the now almost useless’ 
						Infernape does 90 for 2 (Fire) with a two (Fire) 
						discard. Not only that, but Blaziken also has a better 
						evolutionary line than ‘the deck hogging’ Infernape 
						(Considering there is only one line of ‘that wretched 
						monkey’ Infernape.) Blaziken could be better than the 
						‘monkey king’ Infernape for a “Fire starter” deck, but 
						I’m not sure…
 
 Pros – (Compared to ‘the king of fried bananas’ 
						Infernape)
 30 more HP
 Better first attack
 Better evolution line
 80 to anything
 
 Cons – (Same as above)
 1 more retreat cost
 1 more energy needed to attack
 
 Modified – Geez, 80 to anything could do great. 4.25/5
 
 Limited – 1 (C) to search discard for a (Fire)! Nice. 
						4.75/5
 
 Dang, I’ve got to stop sleeping in so late…
