Sigilyph -- BREAKpoint Pokemon Card Review

Sigilyph BREAKpoint Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Sigilyph from the BREAKpoint Pokemon Card Set.  Sigilyph is a basic, psychic type Pokemon card with an hp of 90, it has a x2 weakness to lightning type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Sigilyph does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Reflective Shield, for one colorless energy card this move makes it so that if Sigilyph is damaged by an attack during your opponent's next turn, put 5 damage counters on that attacking Pokemon.  Sigilyph's second move is called Psy Report and for two psychic energy cards this move does 30 damage plus makes your opponent reveal their hand.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Sigilyph is a basic Pokemon with no evolutions, you only have to use this Pokemon in your deck if you want to use this card.  With that being said, if you're building a psychic type deck, or just looking for a solid Basic Pokemon card, I would highly recommend using this Sigilyph card.  You can use it as a starter type Pokemon, and just by using one energy card, knock out most Basic Pokemon that have evolution forms in two turns or less.  Plus, you can get an idea of what your opponent's strategy is by using Psy Report.  So in short, use this card as a starter type Pokemon in a deck if you want to get to a quick start, by not only doing damage when attacking, but getting an idea of what your opponent's strategy is.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a very good Basic Pokemon card from the BREAKpoint set.  To me, there really aren't any disadvantages to this card, it has a high HP, low retreat cost, and two good moves.  Like I have said a couple of times already, this card is a quick attacker, can do major damage, and allows you to look at all of your opponent's cards, so definitely considering using this card in a deck.

Sigilyph -- Plasma Blast Pokemon Card Review

Sigilyph Plasma Blast Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Sigilyph from the Plasma Blast Pokemon Card Set.  Sigilyph is a basic, psychic type Pokemon card with an hp of 90. It has a x2 weakness to lightning type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Sigilyph's Ability is called Toolbox and says that Sigilyph may have up to 4 Tool cards attached to it.  Besides the Ability, Sigilyph has just one move called Cutting Wind, this move requires three energy cards, one psychic and two colorless, and does 70 damage a turn.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Sigilyph is a basic Pokemon with no evolutions, you only have to use this Pokemon in your deck if you want to use this card.  With that being said, because the only move Sigilyph has requires three energy cards to use, I would not use more than one of these cards in a deck.  I would definitely use one of these in a deck though since Cutting Wind does do above average damage every turn and as a basic Pokemon, Sigilyph has way above average hp.  So I would try to get this card onto the bench, then three energy cards on it, then move it to the active Pokemon spot and use Cutting Wind, retreating it when it is close to feinting.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average basic Pokemon card from the Plasma Blast set.  Even though this card has above average hp and an above average move in Cutting Wind, I am giving this card an average rating because the Ability on this card does absolutely nothing for me, and for a basic Pokemon to have to wait three turns to attack really decreases the impact this card will probably have in a deck.  Nevertheless, I would definitely use one of these cards in a deck, I just wouldn't use more than one.
