 | Pfft. What is the big deal about this thing? In unlimited, give me Gligar. I know, it takes TWO whole
              colorless, and only does 20, but that's what DCE and PlusPower
              for. I, personally, don't have a coin that's weighted enough to warrant
              playing Tyrogue. 2/5 In modified, there's scarce little fighting weak stuff about.
              FTKO is possible, but anybody who's any measure of intelligence is
              playing lots of Basics. Baby VS Baby is a 25% chance of KO, at
              least in my non-rigged-coin-world, and if it's not first turn you
              should have a Metal on Cleffa if you can spot a Rogue. Bleh. I
              just don't get it. 2/5 In limited, though... A common baby who can do 30... In a
              "limited" environment, it's worth risking the flips.
              Plus, it fits anywhere. And it's an extra basic and possibly a
              stall. Schway. 3.5/5 |

                Friday Tyrogue:
               
                 
               
                    ... =)! My
                favorite card, PERIOD. Oh man... what a cult... erm card. Ok, to
                make a long story short, the obsession with this card began on
                March 30th, in St. Louis, MO. Croconaw88 and I were in the
                finals of the GC. It was amazing... I won the flip. I had a
                decent hand, not much of one, and I could either A.) Attempt to
                Eeeeeeek, or B.) Attempt to win the game with a Smash Punch. Of
                course, this was against a Cleffa.
               
                    Ok, truthfully, I
                know they weren't the best odds, but 1/4 to win a trip to
                Seattle? Especially when I already had good odds to win due to
                type advantage? Sure, what the heck. So I did it. Heads on baby
                rule, heads on smash punch. Game. Unbelievable.
               
                    Now, Croc and I
                have obsessed over this card ever since... we play 2 in every
                modified deck, and have made mono-tyrogue decks. -_-
               
                    It IS a big
                joke... mind you...
               
                 
               
                Standard Rating: 4/5 (Great against
                chansey, wigglytuff, clefable, electabuzz, etc.)
               
                Modified Rating: 2.5/5 (Oh man
                Croc's going to kill me for this, but honestly, it's not THAT
                good. It's fun though ;x)
               
                Draft Rating: 4/5 (Very good here.)

 | Tyrogue 
 This baby's rank deserves a position in the top 5 Babies of all
              time. The other 4 are Cleffa, Pichu (NG), Igglybuff (Promo), and
              Elekid.
 
 Anyways, it's a baby can dish out a lot of damage as an attacker.
              One colorless energy for a 50/50 chance of doing 30 damage is
              nice.
 
 In Unlimited, I like to splash Tyrogue against Chansey, Clefable,
              and Wiggly. One of my current Unlimited decks is basically a Sneasel
              + Pichu + Tyrogue. You can call it a Snichu deck for all I
              care...
 
 In Modified, it's not really that good. Evos have high HP so 30
              damage is not that much.
 
 In Draft, Tyrogue is amazing! It's splashable, fast, and deals
              damage. Plus, it's a common!
 
 Unlimited Rating: 4/5
 Modified Rating: 3.5/5
 Draft Rating: 4.5/5

              | Crokanaw88 | Friday: Tyrogue I am crazy about this card. It all started
              when RaNd0m rogued me but he has that story.;x In Standard tyrogue
              pwnz. With a some of the main decks having weakness to fighting (
              Wiggly and Chansey) makes it great. FTKOing a lone Jiggly or
              Cleffa is sweet. In Modified Rogueing is even more common.
              Whenever anyone gets a lone baby they flat out "RESIGN"
              because they know they will be Tyrogued. As for Draft if you get it the rest of the
              pod might as well resign. Some people say Elekid owNz Tyrogue but
              that is false. ;/ This might sound crazy and if it does I blame it
              all on RaNd0m. =p Standard 3.5/5Modified 4/5Draft 4/5
 "You're SO tyrogued" ~ Croconaw88

              | Savior | Tyrouge - I don't usually play this card... The only time I use
              this is if I'm trying to counter/meta my weakness. In standerd,
              It's a baby that attacks, can ko some things in one hit, and can
              kill things like electabuzz and wigglytuff with darkness or plus
              powers. I hate flip attacks. I would consider playing neo 1
              pikachu over this card for the soul fact of if I get tails I still
              do 10 damage. Then again it doesn't have a retreat and has that
              ever so good baby power. In stander he could be support if you
              didn't need any other cards. If draft he would be a decent pick
              for sure. Unlimited: 2 Modified: 2.5 Draft: 3.5
