Kyurem EX -- Plasma Blast Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Kyurem EX from the Plasma Blast Pokemon Card Set.  Kyurem is a basic, EX, water type Pokemon card with an hp of 180. It has a x2 weakness to metal type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost.  Kyurem EX does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Outrage, this move requires two colorless energy cards and does 30 damage plus 10 more damage for each damage counter on Kyurem.  Kyurem's second move is called Giga Frost, this move requires four energy cards, two each of colorless and water, and does 150 damage, however after using this move, you must discard two water energy cards from Kyurem.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, because Kyurem EX is a basic Pokemon card you won't need to use any other cards with this card.  But remember, because this card is an EX card, if this card is knocked out, two prize cards are taken instead of one.  So knowing this, you definitely won't want to use too many of this EX card in a deck.  This card is probably one of the poorer EX cards out there, but if do include this card in your deck I would keep it on the bench, put at least four energy cards on it, then late in the game when you need a one hit KO, move it into the active Pokemon spot and use Giga Frost.  Another strategy you could take with this card is to use this in a deck where one of your Pokemon does damage to your benched Pokemon, that way you could already get damage on Kyurem, up to 170 damage, and then do 200 damage in one turn with Outrage and knockout every Pokemon that could possibly be in the active Pokemon spot in one turn.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a very average EX Pokemon card.  So compared to the first two EX Pokemon cards in this set, this one is much worse, but I still think it is average overall.  I definitely couldn't see myself building a deck around this card just because it can't do that much damage very quickly, and the only way it can do a lot of damage is too have consequences (either discarding energy or having damage on Kyurem) so it definitely isn't a card to build a deck around.  This is just a supporting type card in your deck, and one that doesn't have to be in every water type deck out there.

Kyurem -- Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Kyurem from the Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Set.  Kyurem is a basic, water type Pokemon card with an hp of 130. It has a x2 weakness to metal type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost.  Kyurem does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Frost Spear, this move requires two energy cards, one each of colorless and water, and does 30 damage.  Plus it does 30 damage to one of your opponent's benched Pokemon.  Kyurem's second move is called Blizzard Burn, this move requires three energy cards, two water and one colorless, and does 120 damage, however Kyurem cannot attack during its next turn.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Kyurem is a basic Pokemon with no evolutions, you only have to use this Pokemon in your deck if you want to use this card.  Because this card requires a fair amount of energy cards to attack and it has a high retreat cost, I would use no more than one of these in a water type deck.  I would get Kyurem on the bench, put three energy cards on it and then use Blizzard Burn every turn.  I would use Blizzard Burn every turn you can use it unless the defending Pokemon would be knocked out by 30 damage or less, then I would use Frost Spear two turns in a row, that way not only would you knock out the defending Pokemon in two turns, but you would get a significant amount of damage on your opponent's benched Pokemon.  This card would work well in a water type deck that had other Pokemon that could spread damage around.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an above average basic Pokemon card from the Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card set.  I am giving this card an above average rating because I feel that this card can do a major amount of damage to your opponent's Pokemon if this card is in your deck.  I like that Kyurem has a high hp, and two very good moves.  The only thing I wish was different on this card was that it had a lower retreat cost and that you'd be able to use Blizzard Burn every turn, but if that was the case, this card would really be unstoppable.  So if you're building a water or a spread damage type deck, this card should definitely be in that deck.
