Sigh...Maybe you people should hire a translater before you co off calling 
cards good. 


Now for Blaine's Arcanine


His colorless and 2 fire attack does 40 damage and does 10 to self.  Not 
very good.  Now his mondo superdamage attack.  It DOES do 120 Damage, bye 
bye everything except mime and chansey and charizard with defender. BUT you 
have to discard THREE FREAKIN' ENERGY!! That leaves this guy more open than, 
well, a 24 hour convinence store.  I thought Charizard's attack was risky.  
At least with Charizard you can recharge in a turn with a DC. This guy takes 
3. Meanwhile, with only 90 HP, he is a certain 1 Pokemon killer, then he 
dies.  I'd MUCH rather use Ninetales, and sacrifice a little damage for a 
lot less energy discarding.


Attacks with high damage ARE NOT NECSISSARILY GOOD!
