		Sorry for 
		another minimalist review, but again I just don’t have much time to 
		write and for once it’s a card I’ve deck tested, and even done so 
		recently. 
		  
		Stantler
		
		LV.28 is a common from the latest set and it might become a common site 
		in decks.  It is a Colorless Basic Pokémon that can’t
		Evolve, but it has a solid 70 HP for such a 
		thing with only a +20 Fighting Weakness and a low Retreat Cost of one.  
		Its second attack, Frightening Horn is only two Energy, and it yields 20 
		damage and automatically Confuses the 
		Defending Pokémon if said Pokémon isn’t an Evolved Pokémon.  The real 
		reason to run it, though, is for Lead.  Lead is a no-Energy requiring 
		attack that lets you snag a Supporter from your deck and add it to your 
		hand.  This can be very useful for setting up, though sometimes you wish 
		this was a smaller Pokémon so your opponent could KO it and get it out 
		of your Active slot for you.  Of course it isn’t too hard to Retreat, 
		but that takes Energy and eats up a bench slot: many decks can’t spare 
		either.

							Stantler Lv.28 SW 
							
							  
							
							Hello there pokemon fans, today’s COTD is one that 
							replaced a starter that was already there. Chingling 
							MT has a first attack exactly like Stantler’s first 
							attack (With only a slight name difference.) The 
							second attack on this thing is O.K. won’t be used 
							much other than in a few specific cases (Like vs. 
							Rayquaza EX (Delta)) Also, this card has 30 more HP 
							than Chingling, making it a little better there too. 
							The only reason you’d use Chingling over this is if 
							A. you couldn’t get Stantler, or B. you had a 
							psychic deck and could also use Chimecho (Which is 
							nice is Dark Palm (Nidoqueen + Dusknior (Also called 
							duskqueen))  
							
							  
							
							Pros (Compared to Chingling) – 
							
							30 more HP 
							
							Has a second attack 
							
							Colorless fits better 
							
							  
							
							Cons (Compared to Chingling) – 
							
							Can’t evolve  
							
							Fighting weakness 
							
							  
							
							Unlimited – Supporters here? 1/5 
							
							  
							
							Modified – If you need a specific supporter, this is 
							your guy. 3.75/5 
							
							  
							
							Limited – search your deck for the already hard to 
							pull supporters. 4.35/5 
							
							  
							
							This is the last COTD before Christmas, here's 
							hoping you have a great Christmas!

 Unlimted: You hardly play any Supporters in Unlimited…
 Rating : 1/5
 
 Modified: Good card it’s in a lot of Decks. It’s better 
						then Chingling cus of it’s HP.
 You can get a Supporter card from your Deck for free, so 
						you can begin your setup.
 The little downside about it is that it has weakness for 
						fighting wich is kinda popular nowadays.
 Second attack isn’t to bad either.
 Rating : 3.5/5
 
 Limited: If you were lucky enough to get a Supporter 
						take it. This will thin your Deck and get what you need.
 Rating : 3/5

              | Chris Nagel | Hey everybody, this 
						is my first ever COTD, so I just want to give a little 
						introduction about myself. I started playing Pokemon a 
						long time ago, when Jungle was a new set. I took a break 
						for a few years, and then finally came back to the game 
						last year. Since I came back, I made to a Secret Wonders 
						prerelease and then 2 City Championships this year. So I 
						am very happy to be doing this, to help all of you as 
						well as myself by doing Pojo's COTD. I'll keep my 
						reviews detailed, but not too long so that it is 
						agonizingly boring. Anyway here is today's: 
 ----------------------------------------
 
 Name: Stantler
 Set: Secret Wonders
 Rarity: Common
 
 Overview: OK, so Stantler is a basic colorless Pokemon, 
						which does not evolve. It has 70 HP, +20 Weakness to 
						fighting, no Resistance, and a Retreat Cost of 1. Its 
						first attack, 'Lead,' has no energy cost and allows you 
						to search your deck for a Supporter card and put it into 
						your hand. Its second attack, 'Frighten Horn,' has an 
						energy cost of CC, doing 20 damage and giving automatic 
						confusion only if the defending Pokemon isn't an evolved 
						Pokemon.
 
 Analysis: Stantler has some great attributes and some 
						not so great attributes. 70 HP for a basic is usually 
						great, but for one that doesn't evolve, it isn't. +20 
						weakness to fighting is not bad. It's attacks are also 
						not very strong. However, Stantler should not be used as 
						an attacking Pokemon, but more as a setup/situational 
						Pokemon. If you get him in your starting hand, he better 
						start as your Active. Being able to search for any 
						supporter in your deck makes him very useful in the 
						early game to help setup. Also, Frighten Horn can be 
						great as a defense against SW Absol (which has become a 
						fixture in so many modified decks) and other powerful 
						basics. But, again, Frighten Horn would only be useful 
						early game as well, because it only does 20 damage and 
						almost all decks use evolutions, meaning the confusion 
						effect will become nonexistent the further you go into a 
						game. This is where I repeat that Stantler should be 
						used as a helper Pokemon to start the game until you get 
						your big guns ready. And Stantler will help to get them 
						ready faster with Lead and provide protection from Absol 
						with Frighten Horn.
 
 Ratings:
 
 Unlimited - Unlimited decks should not be using many 
						supporters, so Stantler would not be very helpful and 
						would just provide easy KO's for your opponent. (1/5)
 
 Modified - Stantler represents a great starting Pokemon 
						and will help you set up faster. It also provides some 
						protection from SW Absol with the confusion effect of 
						Frighten Horn. Use it as a helper to setup for your main 
						attackers. (4/5)
 
 Limited - Stantler is awesome in this format. At a 
						prerelease I attended, almost everyone got at least one 
						supporter (I got 3). Stantler helps to get them so that 
						you can setup faster. Also, Frighten Horn is very 
						useful: I T2'ed an opposing Farfetch'd with a Pluspower 
						and then a flip for tails on confusion. (4.5/5)
