White Kyurem -- Fates Collide Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of White Kyurem from the Fates Collide Pokemon Card Set.  White 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.  White Kyurem does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Burning Icicles, for two energy cards, one each of water and colorless, this move does 40 damage, plus if this card has any fire energy attached to it, this move does 20 damage to 2 of your opponent's Benched Pokemon.  White Kyurem's second move is called Blizzard Burn, for three energy cards, two water and one colorless, this move does 130 damage, however it makes White Kyurem unable to attack during its next turn.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since White 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.  With that being said, this card would really only work well in a dual type deck of fire and water type Pokemon, that way you could do 80 total damage with Burning Icicles.  If you want to use Blizzard Burn often, you're going to have to either be able to retreat White Kyurem for free the next turn or give up three energy cards so that you can then put a Pokemon in play that can attack.  So again, if you're building a Water type deck only, this card shouldn't be used, but if you're building a dual type deck, I could see using one of these White Kyurem cards and using Burning Icicles fairly often.

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 Fates Collide set.  This card has a very good HP, and two powerful moves, however the card is a bit on the slow side and has a really high retreat cost.  So like I stated above, there are certain decks this card may work well in, but overall, I would look elsewhere.

White Kyurem EX -- Plasma Storm Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of White Kyurem EX from the Plasma Storm Pokemon Card Set.  White Kyurem is a basic, EX, dragon type Pokemon card with an hp of 180. It has a x2 weakness to dragon type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost.  White Kyurem EX does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move it has is called Slash, this move requires three colorless energy cards and does 60 damage.  White Kyurem's second move is called White Inferno, this move requires four energy cards, two fire, one water, and one colorless, and does 100 damage plus 10 more damage for each damage counter on this Pokemon, so this move has a maximum attack power of 270 per turn.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, because White 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.  This is an EX Pokemon card that is quite similar to yesterday's Black Kyurem EX card, this card must be used in a dual type deck so you can use White Inferno, it has a high retreat cost, the same hp, and the same first move as yesterday's card.  Like yesterday, you'll want to set up White Kyurem EX on the bench, put four energy cards on it and move it to the active Pokemon spot as soon as possible.  Unlike Black Kyurem EX which must discard energy cards after attacking, I would use White Inferno every turn and the more you are attacked, the more White Inferno would do.  I would definitely include this in any deck that has water or fire energy cards in it because White Inferno is a great move.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an above average EX Pokemon card.  Even though quite similar to Black Kyurem EX from this set, this card is definitely better than the other EX card.  I like how this card can do 100 damage plus per turn and not only knock out most Pokemon in one turn and all Pokemon in two turns, but this card may also prevent the defending Pokemon from attacking White Kyurem because if it is does, White Inferno could knock out that Pokemon in one turn instead of two.  So like I mentioned in the strategy section of this post, make sure to use this EX card in any deck that has water and fire energy cards in it because this card should be unstoppable.

White Kyurem EX Full Art -- Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of White Kyurem EX Full Art from the Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Set.  White Kyurem EX is a basic, EX, dragon type Pokemon card with an hp of 180. It has a x2 weakness to dragon type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a three colorless energy card retreat cost.  White Kyurem EX does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move it has is called Dragon Stream, this move requires three energy cards, two colorless and one fire, and does 60 damage, plus if you get a heads when you flip a coin you may attach an energy card from your discard pile to this Pokemon.  White Kyurem EX's second move is called Ice Burn, this move requires four energy cards, two fire, and one each of water and colorless, this move does 150 damage, however you must discard two fire energy cards attached to White Kyurem, but this move does burn the defending Pokemon.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since White Kyurem EX is a basic Pokemon with no evolutions, you only have to use this Pokemon in your deck if you want to use this card.  Just a reminder, since this card is an EX card, if this card is knocked out, your opponent will get to take two prize cards instead of one.  Like the White Kyurem card from this set, the EX version is pretty slow, so you'll want to keep this card on your bench and attach at least four energy cards to it.  Make sure to use this card in a water and fire type deck.  Definitely try and keep this card on the bench until it has at least three energy cards on it, that way when you move it into the active Pokemon spot you can start attacking right away by using Dragon Stream.  The more energy cards you get on this card the better, if you put 6+ energy cards on this card, you will be able to use Ice Burn two turns in a row without having to attach additional energy cards to White Kyurem EX.  So my strategy would be to get a ton of energy cards on White Kyurem EX, move it to the active Pokemon spot, use Ice Burn as many times as you can, then use Dragon Stream when you don't have enough energy to use Ice Burn.  Because White Kyurem EX uses so many energy cards, I would make sure to only have one of these cards in a deck and to have a good number of energy cards in your deck and a good way to get them into your hand quickly so you never run out.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 4 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an above average EX Pokemon card that I would include in any dual type deck out there that had fire and water type Pokemon.  The only things I don't like about this card is that it is slow, has a high retreat cost, and is an EX card.  Other than that, this card has a high hp, two powerful moves, and will definitely knock out Pokemon very quickly.  With that being said, I prefer Black Kyurem EX over White Kyurem EX in this set, even though they don't use the exact same types of energy cards.  You really can't  go wrong with using either of these EX cards in your deck.

White Kyurem -- Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Review

Pokemon Card Overview:

Today's Pokemon Card Review is of White Kyurem from the Boundaries Crossed Pokemon Card Set.  White Kyurem is a basic, dragon type Pokemon card with an hp of 130. It has a x2 weakness to dragon type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  White Kyurem does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move it has is called Damage Rush, this move requires two energy cards, one each of fire and colorless, and does 20 damage times the number of heads you get until you flip a tails.  White Kyurem's second move is called Cold Fire, this move requires four energy cards, two colorless and one each of water and fire, and does 80 damage plus 40 more damage if you get a heads when you flip a coin.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since White 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.  Even though this card is a dragon type card, you'll notice that its moves require water and fire energy cards, so for this card to be at its best, it will be best to include this card in a dual type deck of water and fire Pokemon.  White Kyurem is not fast, so you'll want to set this card up on your bench, your best bet is to put four energy cards on White Kyurem then when it is in the active Pokemon spot it will be able to use Cold Fire every turn.  If you have to put White Kyurem into the active Pokemon spot before it has four energy cards on it, attach an energy card each turn and use Damage Rush if you can until you can use Cold fire.  This card is pretty similar to Black Kyurem, but these cards won't work well in a deck since they require different types of energy cards.  I would suggest using 1 or 2 of these cards in a dual type deck that includes water and fire energy cards.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average basic Pokemon card.  This card does have above average hp, and one good move, but its retreat cost isn't low, neither of its attacks are quick, and its first move may not do any damage at all.  This card definitely won't be the centerpiece of any deck, but it may make a nice addition to a water and fire type deck.
