The only cards i know of as of this moments r those WPM has on his site, so im only reviewing them. So far, i noticed quite a few good cards, some strange, some incridibly broken and some totally bizarre.
So uh, good mix?
Ludicolo (holo)
With a little strategy, this card has one helluva good attack in the form of Circular Steps. Similar to Sneasel except its only 10X, but for all pkmn in play except ludiolo. Effectively, a max of 110. But the power is what makes this card really shine. With the ability to draw an extra card every turn, PLUS no mention of any ban of multiple usage, 4 ludicolos effectively gives u 5 cards per turn. And luckily, the ludicolos on the bench won't reduce the damage from Circular Steps. Could turn out to be the new Swellow. Actually, u could use both and really zoom through ur deck, tho id say be careful and pack 4 PORs so u won't deck urself.
Shedinja
This one is... bizarre. I dunno if its good or not, its juz... bizarre. Ur opp can't get a prize card for killing this, so thats good. But at 50HP and only 20 damage (or 40 against EX), it aint much.
Magcargo
Juz a mention, good combo with Ludicolo. Or walrein if u want.
Shiftry
LPS instantly comes into mind. Extra 10HP, extra 20 damage. Nice. And Fan Action can easily bring out the weak basics behind. Hopefully, they're the only ones on the bench so u can go on a nice killing spree.
Whiscash
Special mention for its, uh, strange 1st attack. Maybe in 2-on-2, but in normal play? U know, i had to read the attack 5 times to understand it.
Weezing
Like electrode, this is a suicide attacker, except the opp doesnt really die. Best combo is with a pkmn that can do instant poison like DK crobat, plonk a LPS down and u got urself an instant KO. Of course, weezing would be dead after that anyway, so yeah.
Razquaza EX
Now, i haven't stared at blastoise EX that much, but if i remember correctly, it allows me to plonk down any amount of water on any pkmn i want. That means i can easily attack up to 9 water on rayquaza and do a massive 140 damage straight. Or i could do the quagsire combo and juz shift everything to rayquaza, then fire away. Now this card here is a little too broken for normal gameplay. I mean seriously, virtually unlimited damage, 40 straight juz from its attack cost of only 2 energies, 100HP strong basic, double resistance, tons of comboes with other pkmn that can charge him up (blastoise EX, dk dragonite/electrode combo, gardevoir, blaziken etc)... i don't understand why TPC created this card in the first place. Its too dangerous, and we'll see lots of ppl abusing this card.
So uh, good mix?
