					LATIOS* 
					 
					Modified: 
					A great addition to decks like Metanite or Sallygross, 
					making troublesome Stage2's an easy OHKO. 
					4.5/5 
					 
					Unlimited: 
					Stage2's are rare. If they're around, they're on the bench. 
					1/5 
					 
					Limited: 
					Fitting the necessary energy to do 50 damage is difficult. 
					80 HP prevents it from being absolutely terrible.

						Latias* 
						 
						Probably the most playable Star Pokemon in the game at 
						the moment. Decks like Sallygross and Metanite drool 
						over this card, knowing it gives them a huge edge vs 
						each other, and in the mirror match. Definitely worth 
						the space. 
						 
						Unlimited: 1/5 
						You wont see any stage 2s here, but you WILL see plenty 
						of Energy Removal for your LPR attack! 
						 
						Modified: 4/5 
						A staple in energy manipulation decks. Stage 2’s are 
						very popular here. This card is a must. 
						 
						Limited: 2/5 
						Nice first attack, but Shooting Star wont be helping 
						much here.

						Latios* 
						 
						Modified 4/5 - I like Latios* a bit more than Latias*, 
						because it can target both non-ex and ex Pokemon stage 
						2's. 150 damage is enough to One-Hit KO most of them, 
						and for a discard of 3 Energies, it's a good deal.

						Latios* 
						 
						This week we’re reviewing some of the cards that see 
						play in one of the deck most popular decks so far this 
						year - “Metanite” 
						 
						Today it’s Latios*. Like most stars he’s a tech as 
						opposed to a key part of the structure of your deck. 
						With Holons Pokemon he offers a quick knockout of all 
						but about 3 of the stage 2’s in this year’s format. 
						Great in Metanite, Mewtric and Megalix, an offer of a 
						basic and 3 energy for a stage 2 with a bunch of energy 
						is always a good thing. The decks you can use him in are 
						limited, but in the ones you can he’s great. 
						 
						Limited – 1/5 Energy cost makes it difficult to run, 
						plus theres a lack of stage 2’s when compared to 
						Modified. Don’t expect to see much of it. 
						 
						Modified – 4/5 – You can’t use this in any deck, but in 
						the ones you can it’s broken. 
						 
						Limited – 3/5 - Not many stage 2’s, but 50 a turn with 
						80 HP for a basic Pokemon is nice, if you run the energy 
						right it’s OK.

						Today’s Card Of The Day is…Latios*
						from Deoxys. 
						
						The best Shinning pokemon to ever come 
						out, Latios* has 2 great attacks a low retreat cost, and 
						his only drawback is that you can only play with 1 of 
						him. For 1 colorless, you get to do 10 damage and heal 
						anyone of your pokemon in play. That one damage counter 
						may be the difference between a game and a turn 2 donk. 
						His second attack is the end all for any stage 2 pokemon. 
						150 will ohko any stage 2 in the game except T-TAR. And 
						with Holon castform, electrode, and magneton everywhere, 
						it’s an easy combination. If you can get your hands on 
						one of these guys, he will prove his worth in almost any 
						deck.  
						
						
						  
						
						Combos: 
						Anything that gets multiple energies into play, for a 
						surprise OHKO. Gardy d, Dragonite d.   
						
						  
						
						Modified:
						 4/5 
						If you 
						could play more than 1 he’d be perfect 
						
						Limited:
						2/5 
						it be very hard to get/keep all the right energy on him. 
						
						  
						
						Current 
						ebay
						Value: 
						$45.50  
						(Plus or minus 
						$ 4 dollars)

						P.S. 
						Jeff Reynolds is the best T.O. EVER!

						Latios* 
						 
						Finally a good card. Honestly, this guy is very, very, 
						VERY, good. Doing 150 damage to Stage 2s, OHKOing most 
						of them in the process? Where do I sign up? Any energy 
						manipulation deck that can handle Lightning, Psychic, or 
						Grass, should DEFENITELY play this guy! There's really 
						nothing more to say, it's just good, it makes big stage 
						2 decks like ttar ex δ a JOKE. I loooove this card. 
						 
						Unlimited: ummm… nope. 1/5 
						 
						Modified: YES PLEASE! In ANY deck that it CAN be played, 
						it SHOULD be played! A nonex with the ability to OHKO 
						Stage 2s, ex or non; with the use of a Castform…nice. 
						5/5 
						 
						Limited: Pretty useful here, ironically crystal shard 
						CAN be drafted, lol. 3.5/5
