Tornadus EX Full Art -- Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Tornadus EX Full Art from the Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Set.  Tornadus is a basic, EX, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 180. It has a x2 weakness to lightning type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Tornadus EX does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Windfall, this move requires one colorless energy card and allows you to shuffle your hand into your deck and draw 6 new cards.  Tornadus's second move is called Jet Blast, this move requires four colorless energy cards and does 60 damage, plus 30 more damage for each Plasma Energy card attached to Tornadus.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, because Tornadus 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.  Another thing to note with this card is that even though both its moves require colorless energy cards this card will do best in a Team Plasma based deck with Team Plasma energy cards in it.  I say this because you're going to want to save all your Team Plasma energy cards to attach to Tornadus while it is sitting on your bench so when you move it into the active Pokemon spot you can use Jet Blast every single turn and do 180 damage per turn, which will knock out almost all Pokemon in one turn.  So strategy wise, keep this card on the bench, get four energy cards on it (the more Plasma Energy cards the better) and move it into the active Pokemon spot when you have four energy cards on it.  Because there is such a big difference in attack cost between Windfall and Jet Blast, I would not move this card into the active Pokemon spot to just use Windfall.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average EX Pokemon card.  I am giving this card an average rating because for an EX card, looking at this card at face value it really isn't that special.  It has a good hp, but average retreat cost, and moves.  This card will definitely rate a 5 out of 5 if you attach four Team Plasma energy cards to it and use Jet Blast every turn, but without Team Plasma energy cards, this card is no better than average.

Tornadus EX -- Dark Explorers Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Tornadus EX from the Dark Explorers Pokemon Card Set.  This is a stage basic, EX, colorless type Pokemon card, with an hp of 170.  It has a x2 weakness to electric type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Tornadus EX doesn't have an Ability but it does have two moves, the first move is called Blow Through which takes two colorless energy cards and does 30 damage plus 30 more damage if there is a Stadium Card in play.  Tornadus EX's second move is called Power Blast which takes three colorless energy cards and does 100 damage, however if you get a tails when you flip a coin you must discard an energy card attached to Tornadus EX.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, I would not use this card until I had three energy cards on it, then I could use Power Blast every turn and knock out all Pokemon in two turns or less...if I have enough energy cards if I am unlucky and get tails every time I use Power Blast.  I would recommend putting a couple of Stadium Cards in your deck so that if you can knock out the defending Pokemon with 60 damage or less you can use Blow Through instead of Power Blast and not risk losing an energy card after attacking.  Just remember when using this card if it is knocked out, your opponent gets to take two prize cards instead of one.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  Even for an EX card, I think this card is pretty good, I like the fact Tornadus EX has a high hp, low retreat cost, and at least one good move.  As long as you aren't extremely unlucky or don't have many energy cards in your hand, you should be able to knock out every Pokemon in two turns or less which should make winning a battle against your opponent extremely easy.
