Look to keep it’s abuse in the Limited department more so than constructed. I had to play against one in the Pre, and took it down, but it was somewhat threatening. Had it in the draft I played in after the Pre-Release, but never got it out. The Stormfront Mamoswine was always bordering on being playable, alongside Memory Berry, and if you want to splash a water one for the different weakness and types in case you are abusing Rouse, I guess this card may wind up having some obscure niche in a deck at some point, but I really don’t see it happening. The Hit Points are good, and the Piloswine from sets ago has Rouse which works well with Memory Berry, so the card isn’t a total waste. Snowstorm wouldn’t be good enough if it did the 20 damage unrestricted to their entire Bench. With the speed of the format, if I’m seeing 3 and 4 cost attacks, I want to be awed by their damage and effects. Mamoswine: Alright, despite Mamoswine being one of my ex-girlfriend’s favorite Pokémon, this card doesn’t excite me either. I get the feeling this set review may end up being rather harsh and negative until I reach the Primes. ![]() ![]() 80 for 4 is also not anyone’s idea of a game breaking attack, so Land Crush isn’t going to be my ideal ” Plan A ” anytime soon at a City Championship. The first attack would be bad even if it didn’t require a flip. I can safely say this guy can be overlooked swiftly.ĭrapion: Remember what I said about Aggron being weighted poorly due to the presence of Special Metal energy? Well, Dark types have the same issue, and Dragon is simply not very good. I also don’t run 70 HP basic Pokémon that do not evolve for their overwhelming 2 energy, 30 damage, possibly paralyzing attacks. The deck manipulation offered by its first attack is nice and cute, but so far worse than other alternatives that it can be overlooked. I got a chance to use it in the prerelease on Sunday, and the card played great for me there, but it has no place in a Constructed deck. Trade it to a kid whose favorite Pokémon is Altaria.Ĭelebi: This card is also not very good. I could try and defend it in some way, but there is no possible reason to use this over other cards. Average attacks on a stage one with no real appealing attributes. Needless to say, this card is unplayable. These cards simply outclass Aggron by such a large margin, even disregarding the fact that Aggron is saddled with the handicap of being a stage 2.Īltaria: I’m reviewing this simply because I am going to review all of the rares in the set. The card simply does not stack up alongside the likes of say, Steelix and Scizor, or the best of the metal types, Dialga G Level X. ![]() The attacks are simply subpar, and with the way the format plays, the fact it may wind up difficult to kill is negated by the fact it is slow, and will be attacked around by most of the best decks. ![]() I think that it highlights the penalty the design team seems to apply to Pokémon who are able to be tanked with metal energy. Aggron: Well, looking at this card, I get the same feeling I get every time I look at one of the many different Aggrons that have been released over the past few years: It simply doesn’t do enough. I am going to hit all rares or rarer, and any notable commons and uncommons ( aka Haunter and the Trainers ).
