Pokemon TCG With Dragon Pokemon!?

Sup Everyone!
I'm sure you all heard about it, Dragon Type Pokemon!
Jup Pokemon is bringing a new type into our beloved Trading Card Game.
At first, I thought they looked bad because they had weak attacks & they needed a lot of different energies.
But some of them are actually really good.
Like Garchomp for example, that deals 60 damage for one energy & has an added side effect that discards a special energy attached to the defending Pokemon.


After seeing this card, I changed my opinion about these Dragons.
Because with an attack like that, They are really good.
There is also an Altaria in the set which has the ability to increase each of your dragon's attacks by 20.
And there's also a Gabite that can bring out Dragon Pokemon once during your turn.
& Don't forget that Hydreigon might become playable with the other one in mind (from Noble Victories).
Because you can abuse both abilities to get a really nice combo going!

So they look impressive but the downside would be the multiple types of energies these Pokemon need.
Will there be a special dragon type energy that can work as a rainbow energy?
We'll have to wait & find out!

Mewtwo EX - Is He Really That Good!?

Sup Everyone!
Today, I'll be talking about Mewtwo EX.
Because this has got to be one of the most expensive cards ever.
& That's all because, he's really good.

He has an attack called X Ball which deals 20 damage times the number of energies that are attached to both active Pokemon. Which can result into a massive amount of damage for only two energies.
& The good thing is that those energies are colorless which makes him really good in almost every deck.
This also means Double Colorless Energies can be abused & they made a reprint of that energy in the set as well.
That's why people will run this card because it's way to good to be ignored.


Also the fact that the best card to stop Mewtwo EX, is himself.
So the more people run it, the more people will consider running it themselves.
& To finish, I'll say that $80 for this card is really expensive but you'll definitely need one if you plan on making it at states.
I know there are more counters out there like Cobalion, Mew Prime & others.
But if you want to get rid of the Mewtwo on your opponent's side of the field. One Mewtwo EX is all you need.
He also has a second attack which isn't bad but people are hyping this card mainly for his first attack!
For more info about this card, you can always check out my episode about it:
& that concludes my statement about Mewtwo EX.
I hope you enjoyed it & till next time!
