Pojo's Pokemon Card of the Day

Jason Klaczynski "Ness" 2006 World Champion	XATU D Modified: Xatu D works best in numbers & the Holon Engine. Using Holon's Castform with Holon's Mentor will allow you to Delta Draw for multiple cards, getting multiple Xatu D out. With multiple Xatu in play, you can turn various Stage2 ex cards into beats. Cards like Flygon ex (DF) and Dragonite ex d (DF) are two of the many Stage2 ex's that can benefit from Xatu d. Modified: 3 Unlimited: There aren't many Stage2 ex's you can play in unlimited, and Xatu is vulnerable to Murkrow's Mean Look. Unlimited: 1.5/5 Limited: The fact that its attack requires a dark makes it extremely weak. It's Poke-Body is almost entirely useless. Even if you did pull a Stage2 ex, the basic, and the stage1, and the Natu, getting all out at the same time isn't happening. Limited: 1/5
Alex "Chuck" Brosseau 5th place Worlds 2006 (Also current "best looking player")	Xatu d Xatu d is quite weak on its own, but can be useful when combined with a strong stage 2 ex. I suggest using it with Dragonite ex d so your Deafens can start doing 60-70 damage, 2HKOing most Pokemon as opposed to the standard 3hko with Deafen doing 40. Unlimited: 1/5 Stage 2 exs can't survive here, so it has nothing to support. Modified: 3/5 Definately a good play in any deck that revolves around stage 2 exs. The basic Natu is also good for knocking out Shuppets turn 1 :-D. Limited: 1/5 No stage 2 exs + no Dark Energy to attack = bad limited card.
William Hung	My reviews and ratings are for Modified only. Xatu delta Modified 3/5 - I really like this card for certain decks running Stage 2 Pokemon-ex's. Most notable ones are Gardevoir ex d and Kingdra d. Because it is important for those decks to get to the 90 and 100 damage per hit threshold. Notice there is a lot of Pokemon with a maximum HP of 100 - such as Ludicolo or Metagross d, or Dragonite d. 2-2 or 3-3 lines of Xatu d can change the game in your favor.
