Okay, Neo's out in Japan and you Japanese fans will probably like
to find the cards the make a good deck. Well, maybe this one should
catch your attention:
Nyuura (R)- Basic Pokemon, 60 HP
Type- Dark
Attacks:
(c)- Fury Swipes: 10x
Effect: Flip 3 coins. Does 10 damage times the number of heads.
(DD) Bag Strike: 20x
Effect: Flip a coin for each of your pokemon. Does 20 damage times
the number of heads.
Philosophy:
This card can be extremely useful if your deck is pumped with
pokemon. 60 HP isn't bad for a Basic, even though Rare Basics are
generally higher. Being able to do 120 damage in one attack is very,
very good, even if a lot of it is only 50-50. It's basically a suped-
up Wiggly. The main problem with the Bag Strike attack is the energy
cost. Most people don't realize it, but there are only two dark
cards. Without a common need for them, the energy have been made
rare. Getting them to use the attack can be difficult, so you might
have to wait to put it in a deck. However, like Evil Charizard, the
Fury Swipes can be a "step" move to use while waiting to get the
energy into your hand. If you collect and use Japs in friendly games,
this card might be a good one to try out. It can be a real life-saver.
