Hello world! This is my first COTD with Pojo. Normally,
I would spend some time to ramble on and introduce
myself, but I get the feeling that anyone reading this
review would just appreciate it if I went ahead and
reviewed the card.
Today we are looking at a Stadium card from the Platinum
expansion, known as Galactic HQ. This interesting little
card has the effect of placing two damage counters
whenever a player evolves a Pokemon. It is rather
obvious that this card was meant to be played with the
new Pokemon SP. Unfortunately, it would seem as if the
only SP Pokemon actually worth running in a competitive
deck right now is Dialga G Lv. X, which means that this
card won't see much use... yet. In the near future,
however, when we receive Bonds to the End of Time and
Pulse of the Frontier in North America, this may change,
as more emphasis will be placed on the strength of the
SPs.
Now, we will look at the pros and cons of this card:
Pros:
Is a Stadium, and can cast away the pesky Dusknoir Lv.
X.
Can do decent spread damage for basic-oriented decks.
(Wouldn't this have rocked in Haymaker back in the
day...)
Con:
Archetype associated with it has not yet reached it's
full potential.
Modified: 2/5 (It might do some good to revisit this one
later, though.)
Limited: 2/5 (With so many heavy-hitting basics in
Platinum Limited, the odds of your opponent pulling off
much evolution will be slim.) |
