 | Magmortar 
 Unlimited - Trash. Raindance and Base Gastly blow this away. 
					1/5
 
 Modified - Cornerstone of one of the most popular decks in 
					modified, Magmortar/Typhlosion/Delcatty. It's almost like 
					the Blaziken deck from 2004. The Poke-Body is awesome, it's 
					like you're using a potion every turn, and each time you do, 
					Flame Blast does 20 more damage. Fireball Bazooka can slowly 
					whittle down your opponent's Benched Pokemon, and then you 
					can finish them off with a Flame Bluster from Magmortar LV 
					X. DRE and Scramble Energy are helpful, because Flame Blast 
					only mentions Fire Energy, not Fire Energy CARDS. 110 HP is 
					great for a stage 1, only 20 less than Blissey. The Magmar 
					from MT is great to evolve from because it hits hard and 
					fast, 20 damage for 1 energy. Weakness to an almost obsolete 
					type is also good. Magmortar's cool. 5/5
 
 Limited - The healing poke-body works wonders here. 4/5

							Magmortar Lv. 52 SW 
							
							  
							
							Peace! Today’s COTD is number 5 in the COTD top 10, 
							it is… Magmortar, the most hyped about fire pokemon 
							at the moment. 110 HP lets him survive most OHKO 
							attempts. The poke-body is nice, -20 damage whenever 
							you put a fire energy on it, this ‘body combos well 
							with it’s first attack. The first attack is Flame 
							Blast, a very hot move that could leave your pokemon 
							smoked depending on the amount of energy attached to 
							Magmortar. The second attack is also great, 40 plus 
							20 to two bench pokemon, that’s 80 damage for (fire) 
							and 2 (C)! The weakness and retreat cost sucks but 
							it is livable. 
							
							  
							
							Pros – 
							
							Big HP 
							
							Awesome first attack 
							
							Great second attack 
							
							Good ‘body 
							
							Lv. X ‘able! 
							
							  
							
							Cons –  
							
							Bad weakness 
							
							Horrid retreat cost 
							
							  
							
							Unlimited – No! Don’t use it here. 1/5 
							
							  
							
							Modified – 5 pros and only 2 cons… DANG! 4.75/5 
							
							  
							
							Limited – Great! But needing only fire energy sucks. 
							4.25/5 
							
							  
							
							Next COTD top 10 is one that we all have come to 
							hate or use,

						Magmortar SW 
						
						This card is amazing. Its so versatile 
						and can be used in loads of decks. Flame blast is 
						begging for scramble and fireball bazooka got endless 
						possibilities  110 Hp is nice and it pokebody gives it’s 
						a lot of survival chances. If you haven’t played this 
						TRY IT!. 3 retreat is no problem as you’ll rarely 
						retreat this anyway. Its LV X is amazing as well and 
						beats the crap out of all kinds of decks. Playd rigth 
						theres no deck that magmortar doesnt beat. Feraligatr? 
						hit cronaw for 100 on the bench. Gardelade damagde its 
						bench suddenly  Take down isnt very usefull i could go 
						on.. Ended in finals in EVERY tournament i played this 
						card.  
						
						  
						
						Trust me it Sooooo good 
						 
						
						  
						
						Modified 5 and that’s with an arrow up J

              | Arbok14 | Good monday! Today we 
						have one of my favorite new cards, which is one I even 
						got to use back in the Secret Wonders prerelease I went 
						to last year. It is the new evolution for Magmar, 
						Magmortar! 
 Name: Magmortar Lv 52
 Set: Secret Wonders
 Rarity: Rare
 
 Overview: I think I'm just going to stop doing the 
						overviews because they are, well... redundant and a 
						waste of space. Lol, on we go:
 
 Analysis: As I said, this is definitely one of my 
						favorite new cards, because it is so versatile. It heals 
						itself (PokeBODY - Flame Body), it hits for potentially 
						massive damage (Flame Blast), and it can hit the bench 
						(Fireball Bazooka - love that name ^_^). And 110 HP will 
						keep it around a while. The +30 weakness to water should 
						not be a big problem, but its retreat cost of 3 is huge. 
						So pack him with some switches and warp points. Flame 
						Blast is a great attack, especially since it can do 
						unlimited amounts of damage. Scramble energies can also 
						be a great combo with Magmortar and provide a quick 60 
						damage. Fireball Bazooka hits 2 benched guys for 20, 
						which will discourage your opponent from retreating 
						heavily damaged Pokemon. Plus he has a Lv X, which makes 
						him EVEN BETTER. Whoa.
 
 Magmortar finds a great partner in Typhlosion, which can 
						recycle energy back onto it. And Delcatty's can help you 
						draw, while at the same time discarding energy. This 
						Magmortar/Typhlosion/Delcatty deck is one of the best 
						and most popular decks out now and is one which I used 
						in one of my City Championships I attended. I did go 
						2-3, but if I played it better, I probably could have 
						made the top cut of 4 (misplays were key). Well, my dumb 
						mistakes aside, I did learn a lot that day: This deck 
						sets up slowly, but is great late game. Definitely worth 
						trying.
 
 Ratings
 
 Unlimited: I kind of like him here... Unlimited damage 
						is good. (3/5)
 
 Modified: Absolutely great here, because he has so many 
						combos, such as Typhlosion, Scramble Energies, etc. USE! 
						(4.5/5)
 
 Limited: Healing + Heavy Damage + Bench Hitting = 
						*drools* (5/5)

 | Lucario is a 
						favourite card of mine for its ability to counter 
						fighting weak pokemon particularly starters very well. 
						Riolu can give you a great headstart or a wasted turn 
						but it's certainly worth the gamble. Lucario's lightness 
						due to low retreat and balanced attack costs keep it 
						going steady and swarms easily. I've found Absol ex to 
						be a great accompinate to Lucario, as combined with Aura 
						sphere you get decent damage wherever it needs to be. 
						Lucario level X is quite possibly the most useful level 
						up card around, it doesn't get much better than a turn 
						of immunity that comboes directly with its attack! I 
						like this card so much I used it to get 2nd place 
						Masters at my last CC with this list:

 I suggest to try out Lucario, you won't be disappointed 
						and if Darkrai makes it big, Lucario may just make a 
						comeback.
