Mienfoo -- Furious Fists Pokemon Card Review

Mienfoo Furious Fists Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Mienfoo from the Furious Fists Pokemon Card Set.  Mienfoo is a basic, fighting type Pokemon card with an hp of 60.  It has a x2 weakness to psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost. Mienfoo does not have an Ability but it does have two moves, the first move that this card has is called Flop, for one fighting energy card this move does 10 damage.  Mienfoo's second move is called Lunge and for two colorless energy cards this move does 30 damage.  However, you must flip a coin when using this move and if you get a tails the move does nothing.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Mienfoo is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Mienshao, which I'll be reviewing tomorrow, you'll more than likely want to use this card with that Pokemon.  However, since I haven't reviewed that card yet, I'll just act as though I plan on using this card without its evolution.  So, on its own I could definitely see myself using this card in a fighting type deck as a starter type Pokemon, but there are definitely better Basic Pokemon cards I could be using and would definitely try to use one of those first, like any of the Hitmon Pokemon from this set.  If you do choose to use this card in a deck, I wouldn't include more than 1 if you aren't using Mienshao, I would try and get it into the active Pokemon spot early and use Flop most turns unless you can knock out the defending Pokemon by doing 30 damage then I may risk the coin flip and try and hope for a heads when using Lunge.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  So in my opinion, this is an average to slightly below average Basic Pokemon card from the Furious Fists set.  This card definitely has some positives on it like its low retreat cost, the fact it has two moves, and that it can do up to 30 damage per turn.  However this card isn't the greatest because Flop can turn out to be a flop a not do any damage at all, thus making this card not as usable as it should be.  So if you're looking for a fighting type Pokemon card to use, I would probably look elsewhere, but this card wouldn't be the worst to use.

Mienfoo #87/149 -- Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Review

Mienfoo Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Mienfoo from the Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Set.  This is the second of two consecutive Mienfoo cards I'll be reviewing from this set.  This Mienfoo is a basic, fighting type Pokemon card with an hp of 50.  It has a x2 weakness to psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Mienfoo does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  Its only move is called Pound, this move requires one fighting energy card and does 20 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Mienfoo is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Mienshao, which I'll be reviewing tomorrow, you'll probably want to use this card with that Pokemon.  With that being said, after reviewing both Mienfoo cards from this set, there is absolutely no reason at all to use the other Mienfoo card from this set.  This card does 20 damage every turn, whereas yesterday's card could only do 20 damage by getting a heads when flipping a coin.  Strategy wise, the strategy is similar to yesterday's card, keep only one of these cards in your fighting type deck, get this card out early, and attach one energy card to it then use Pound every turn until Mienfoo is either knocked out, or you retreat it for a Pokemon you recently set up on your bench to put in the active Pokemon spot.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average basic Pokemon card.  Besides having a low hp and only one move, this card is pretty good, it can attack quickly and retreat quickly, it is what you need from a  basic Pokemon card that can hopefully evolve into something quite good.  Like I said in the strategy section of this review, this card is much better than its Mienfoo counterpart in this set, so make sure to use this card in your deck if you can, especially if you plan on using Mienshao in your deck.

Mienfoo #86/149 -- Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Review

Mienfoo Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Mienfoo from the Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Set.  This is the first of two consecutive Mienfoo cards I'll be reviewing from this set.  This Mienfoo is a basic, fighting type Pokemon card with an hp of 50.  It has a x2 weakness to psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Mienfoo does not have an Ability and it only has one move.  Its only move is called Steady Punch, this move requires one fighting energy card and does 10 damage plus 10 more damage if you get a heads when you flip a coin.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Mienfoo is a basic Pokemon card with a stage 1 evolution in Mienshao, which I'll be reviewing in two days, you'll probably want to use this card with that Pokemon.  With that being said, I could see using this Mienfoo card on its own, because it has a quick move that only requires one energy card and has the potential to do more than 10 damage using that move.  But I would not recommend using more than 1 of these cards in a deck because it just has the one move, you don't want to fill your deck with cards that can attack quickly but never do any more than 10 or 20 damage per turn.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average basic Pokemon card.  Besides having a low hp and only one move, this card is pretty good, it can attack quickly and retreat quickly, it is what you need from a  basic Pokemon card that can hopefully evolve into something quite good.  I'll have to compare this card to the other Mienfoo card in the set to see which one is better.
