Hydreigon #98/124 -- Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Hydreigon from the Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Set.  This is the second of two consecutive Hydreigon card reviews I'll be doing from this set.  Hydreigon is a stage 2, dragon type Pokemon card, with an hp of 150.  Hydreigon is the stage 2 evolution of Zweilous, and before that Deino, both of those Pokemon I have reviewed the past couple of days, and both of those Pokemon are in this set.  Hydreigon has a x2 weakness to dragon type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost.  Unlike yesterday's card which had an Ability, this Hydreigon card does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move is called Consume and for three energy cards, two colorless and one darkness, this move does 40 damage and allows you to heal the amount of damage you did to the defending Pokemon using this move from Hydreigon.  Hydreigon's second move is called Destructor Beam and for four energy cards, one psychic, one darkness, and two colorless, this move does 90 damage and if you get a heads when you flip a coin, you may remove an energy card attached to the defending Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Hydreigon is a stage 2 Pokemon, I would recommend evolving Deino into Zweilous and then Zweilous into Hydreigon on your bench.  I would get three or four energy cards on Hydreigon and move it into the active Pokemon spot.  Once there, depending on the amount of energy cards attached to Hydreigon will determine the move you will use.  The hope is to be able to use Destructor Beam every turn, unless the defending Pokemon will be knocked out with 40 damage or less then make sure to use Consume because you'll heal damage from Hydreigon as well when using that move.  After reviewing both Hydreigon cards from this set, both are about equal in my opinion, so I would suggest using a 4-3-2 line of Deino, Zweilous, and Hydreigon in a deck containing psychic and darkness type Pokemon.  I would use 1 each of the Hydreigon cards from this set.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  This card is very similar to yesterday's Hydreigon card which I gave a 4 out of 5 rating, this card doesn't have an Ability but it does have two moves which are both good, plus this card has a high hp that seems even higher if you take into account Consume which will remove damage from Hydreigon.  So after reviewing both cards, I think both Hydreigon cards are worth using, and I would recommend both.

Hydreigon #97/124 -- Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Hydreigon from the Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Set.  This is the first of two consecutive Hydreigon card reviews I'll be doing from this set.  Hydreigon is a stage 2, dragon type Pokemon card, with an hp of 150.  Hydreigon is the stage 2 evolution of Zweilous, and before that Deino, both of those Pokemon I have reviewed the past couple of days, and both of those Pokemon are in this set.  Hydreigon has a x2 weakness to dragon type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost.  Hydreigon's Ability is called Dark Trance and it says that as often you like during your turn you may move a darkness energy card attached to 1 of your Pokemon to another one of your Pokemon.  Besides the Ability, Hydreigon has only one move called Dragonblast which requires four energy cards, two darkness, one colorless, and one psychic, and does 140 damage, however after using this move you must discard two darkness energy cards attached to this card.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Hydreigon is a stage 2 Pokemon, I would recommend evolving Deino into Zweilous and then Zweilous into Hydreigon on your bench.  I would attach as many darkness energy cards as possible to Hydreigon while it's on the bench and then late in the game, when you need a miracle I would move Hydreigon into the active Pokemon spot and use Dragonblast as many times as possible.  But if you don't need a miracle, it would be smart to get your bench full start attaching energy cards to all those Pokemon and then if you move Hydreigon into the active Pokemon spot you can utilize its Ability and get energy cards on it very quickly so you're able to use Dragonblast almost every turn.  If you choose to use this Hydreigon card in your deck, make sure to have plenty of darkness energy cards as well as some psychic energy cards.  I would suggest using a 3-2-1 line of Deino, Zweilous, and Hydreigon in a darkness and psychic type deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  I think this card is a slightly above average stage 2 Pokemon card. I like how it has above average hp, an extremely good Ability, and one move that does a good amount of damage, even though it is a slow move and will be hard to use every turn.  I'll have to compare this card to tomorrow's Hydreigon card but right now I would definitely recommend using this Pokemon card line in a deck.

Zweilous #96/124 -- Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Zweilous from the Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Set.  This is the second of two consecutive Zweilous cards from this set.  Zweilous is a stage 1, dragon type Pokemon card, with an hp of 90.  It has a x2 weakness to dragon type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost.  Zweilous does not have an Ability but it does have two moves, the first move is called Draw In and for one colorless energy cards this move allows you to attach two darkness type energy cards from your discard pile to Zweilous.  Zweilous's second move is called Dragon Headbutt and for three energy cards, one each of colorless, psychic, and darkness, this move does 40 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Zweilous has a stage 2 evolution in Hydreigon, I would suggest evolving Deino into Zweilous and then Zweilous into Hydreigon if possible.  Compared to yesterday's card I would definitely not choose to use this Zweilous card in a deck that I wanted to use Hydreigon in.  This move does 40 less damage per turn for the same amount of energy cards and has a higher retreat cost.  But if you do have this card in your deck, if it is the only Hydreigon card you have for example, your only option to actually attack is to use Dragon Headbutt every turn, so once you get three energy cards on Zweilous use that move and definitely try to evolve Zweilous into Hydreigon as soon as possible.  I would not recommend using this card at all.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a terrible stage 1 Pokemon card, the only good thing about this card is that it has an average hp, nothing else is good at all, especially Dragon Headbutt, which does a minimal amount of damage for a fair amount of energy.  Previewing the next two days, one of the Hydreigon cards from this set requires a ton of energy cards but I would not waste my time putting Zweilous into the active Pokemon spot and using Draw In, I would just keep Zweilous on the bench and attach energy cards to it that way, or put trainer cards in the deck that allow you to attach energy cards to a Pokemon.  Once again, I do not recommend using this card at all.

Zweilous #95/124 -- Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Zweilous from the Dragons Exalted Pokemon Card Set.  This is the first of two consecutive Zweilous cards from this set.  Zweilous is a stage 1, dragon type Pokemon card, with an hp of 80.  It has a x2 weakness to dragon type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Zweilous does not have an Ability but it does have two moves, the first move is called Crunch which requires two colorless energy cards and does 30 damage, plus if you get a heads when you flip a coin, you may remove an energy card attached to the defending Pokemon.  Zweilous's second move is called Dragon Claw which requires three energy cards, one psychic and two darkness, this move does 80 damage.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Zweilous has a stage 2 evolution in Hydreigon, I would suggest evolving Deino into Zweilous and then Zweilous into Hydreigon if possible.  I would consider moving Zweilous into the active Pokemon spot if it is on the bench and you have three energy cards attached to it, that way you can start using Dragon Claw every turn.  If for some reason you have to put Zweilous into the active Pokemon spot before it has three energy cards on it you'll have to use Crunch.  I would definitely think about using Zweilous in a deck without Hydreigon because it can do 80 damage for three energy cards which is a good move to use, however the one thing I would be weary about is that Zweilous's hp isn't very high for a stage 1 Pokemon.  So if you want to use Zweilous without Hydreigon, I would only suggest using a 1-1 line of Deino and Zweilous in a darkness and psychic type deck.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is a very average stage 1 Pokemon card.  Even though this card has a low hp, I still think it is a decent, stage 1 Pokemon card.  I think that both of its moves make up for the fact it has a low hp.  So I would recommend using this card without Hydreigon but I think it would  be a much safer bet to use this card with Hydreigon.  I'll see tomorrow if the other Zweilous from this set is better than this one.
