Kingdra ex d:
Modified:
With two Kingdra ex d in play, you will finally have a Stage2 that isn't a OHKO target for Latios*. Regardless, putting 10 damage on it will not be difficult.

While it's body is quite strong, Kingdra ex d's attacks are decent, but fall

just short of making it an extremely strong card, meaning you may be better off using it with another Stage2 ex. However, multiple Stage2's only work together if they have great synergy. (Such as Metagross d and Dragonite d.)

Kingdra ex d can be quite a pain to deal with, dealing 80 with no weakness, and lowering 10 to 30 damage (depending on how many you have out. can wreck some decks, including the popular Delta (Raichu d/Exeggutor d).

Modified: 4/5

Unlimited:
A slow stage2 never works here.
1/5

Limited:
Again, being a stage two is horrible in limited. While getting it out and powered up should ensure a win against any deck, getting it out with few or no supporters and stage1's is very difficult.
1.5/5

Kingdra ex d

Another Stage 2 EX out of Dragon Frontiers. Kingdra ex d is a pretty solid Pokemon. 140 HP, 1 Retreat, and Fighting type is amazing. Lightning weakness is pretty bad, but he has an attack that takes care of that. Its Poke-Body makes all stage 2 EXs (including itself) take 10 less damage. This Body is also stackable, so 3 Kingdras = 30 less damage. Not bad! Energy Link isn’t an amazing attack, but it does have the potential to knock out a Castform on the second turn. Protective Swirl is a great attack. 80 for 3 is great by itself, but you also get rid of your terrible lightning weakness? Very nice! Very balanced card overall.

Unlimited: 1/5

Stage 2 EXs are terrible in Unlimited. Lass, Energy Removal, and Super Energy Removal are just to much to deal with.

Modified: 4/5

This deck should definitely see some play at cities. I like to combine it with Xatu d from DF and the Holon Engine. Protective Swirl for 100 damage starts to get pretty darn sick.

Limited: 4/5

If you get it out, it should win the game. Any stage 2 in draft is amazing when it actually gets out.

Kingdra ex Delta from Dragon Frontiers

Modified 3/5 - I think it has a lot of potential as a swarm deck. You can negate your Weakness with its 2nd attack, you can outlast your opponent's Pokemon with your Poke-Body, and 80 damage for 3 is decent enough. But don't get too excited - because Cessation Crystals and other good non-ex Pokemon could still be troublesome, not to mention its difficulty to get and keep more than 2 of Kingdra ex delta in play.
