Cofagrigus #57/116 -- Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Cofagrigus from the Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Set.  This is the second of two Cofagrigus cards I've reviewed from this set.  Cofagrigus is a stage 1, psychic type Pokemon card, with an hp of 100.  It has a x2 weakness to darkness type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  So so far, this card is extremely similar to yesterday's card.  However, this Cofagrigus does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Elongating Arms, this move requires one colorless energy card and does 30 damage to one of your opponent's Pokemon.  Cofagrigus's other move is called Crazy Slap, this move requires three energy cards, two colorless and one psychic, and does 40 damage times the number of heads you get when you flip four coins.  So this move has the potential to do 160 damage per turn.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Cofagrigus is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Yamask into play (I have reviewed both Yamask cards from this set the past couple of days) and then evolve Yamask into Cofagrigus.  Like I mentioned earlier there are two Cofagrigus cards in the Plasma Freeze set and in the rating section of this post I will compare both of the cards rating wise.  If you read my Yamask reviews, you'll know that I thought both Yamask cards were about average, but if you're going to use this Cofagrigus card in your deck, you could easily use both of the Yamask cards from this set.  But what I would recommend doing is building a spread damage type deck, I would include 4 Yamask cards in the deck, 2 of each Yamask card from this set, and 3 Cofagrigus cards, 1 of this card and 2 of yesterday's card.  I would want to use this Cofagrigus card first in the active Pokemon spot to make sure my opponent's Pokemon had plenty of damage on them, then later in the game I would move in the other Cofagrigus card and use its Ability to spread even more damage around.  So this Cofagrigus card would be the attacker and the other Cofagrigus card would be the finisher.  So again, I would use this Cofagrigus card's Elongating Arms move to get damage on the opponent's Pokemon, then retreat it, and use the other Cofagrigus's Ability.  I would use a 4-3 line of Yamask and Cofagrigus.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is an above average stage 1 Pokemon card.  I really like this card because it cannot only do spread damage with Elongating Arms which greatly helps the other Pokemon in this line, but it can potentially do 160 damage per turn which is very good for only three energy cards.  Altogether, I would give the Yamask and Cofagrigus line a 4 out of 5 rating.  Both Yamask cards received 3's and both Cofagrigus cards received 4's.

Cofagrigus #56/116 -- Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Cofagrigus from the Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Set.  This is the first of two consecutive Yamask cards I'll be reviewing from this set.  Cofagrigus is a stage 1, psychic type Pokemon card, with an hp of 100.  It has a x2 weakness to darkness type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Cofagrigus's Ability is called Six Feet Under and it says you may knock out Cofagrigus during your turn if you'd like, if you choose to do this, you may put three damage counters on each of your opponent's Pokemon.  Besides the Ability, Cofagrigus just has one move called Slap of Misfortune, this move requires three energy cards, two psychic and one colorless, and does 70 damage, plus if your opponent flips a coin during their next turn you can always treat it as tails.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Cofagrigus is a stage 1 Pokemon card, you'll first have to get Yamask into play (I reviewed both Yamask cards from this set the past couple of days) and then evolve Yamask into Cofagrigus.  Like I mentioned earlier there are two Cofagrigus cards in the Plasma Freeze set, so please read tomorrow's review if you want to know which one I like better.  If you read my Yamask reviews, you'll know that I thought both Yamask card was about average, but if you're going to use this Cofagrigus card in your deck, you'll want to use the first Yamask card I reviewed from this set, the one that does spread damage.  That way, when you have some damage on your Pokemon, you can move Yamask into the active Pokemon spot, use its only move to get that damage off of your Pokemon, then right before Yamask is going to be knocked out, evolve it into Cofagrigus and use Cofagrigus's Ability to knock it out, and then do 30 damage to all of your opponent's benched Pokemon.  If you're building a spread damage type deck, this line of Yamask and Cofagrigus should definitely be in it.  I would suggest using a 2-2 line.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion this is an above average stage 1 Pokemon card.  I really like this card for a spread damage type deck, if you use two Cofagrigus in your deck and use their Ability on each card, you could easily knock out some basic Pokemon without doing any other attacks.  So I would highly recommend this card for a spread damage type deck, even its only move does above average damage.  Overall, the line of Yamask (the first one) and Cofagrigus (the first one) from the Plasma Freeze set gets a 4 out of 5 rating, both work quite well together.

Cofagrigus -- Dark Explorers Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Cofagrigus from the Dark Explorers Pokemon Card Set.  This is a stage 1, psychic type Pokemon card, with an hp of 100.  It has a x2 weakness to darkness type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Cofagrigus doesn't have an Ability, but it does have two moves, the first move is called Chuck and for two colorless energy cards it does 40 damage times the number of Pokemon tool cards you choose to discard from your hand.  Cofagrigus's second move is called Lock Up and for two psychic energy cards it does 40 damage plus it prevents the defending Pokemon from retreating that next turn.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, if you want to be able to do some damage with Cofagrigus to the defending Pokemon, you'll have to stack your deck with Pokemon tool cards, if you do, I would wait until you get at least 2 or 3 in your hand before you use Cofagrigus's Chuck move, I would plan it out so that move would for sure knock out the defending Pokemon, the next turn I would discard the two energy cards attached to Cofagrigus and retreat.  Unless I had to, I would only use Cofagrigus in the above mentioned way, Lock Up isn't anything great so I wouldn't base my deck around this card, if I were to use this card I would only include 1 each of Cofagrigus and Yamask in a deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 2 out of 5 rating.  To me, this is a below average rare card from the Dark Explorers set, this card really can't do anything at all if you don't have any Pokemon tool cards in your hand and even if you do, you can really only do a fair amount of damage one turn then the most you can do is 40 damage after that which isn't much for a stage 1 Pokemon card, so that is why I'm giving this card a below average rating.
