Pokemon Card of the Day: Mew Prime (Triumphant)

Today's Pokemon Card of the Day is Mew Prime from the yet to be released Triumphant set.
Mew Prime has an awful HP of 60. It is OHKO’d by Donphan Prime, Reshiram BLW, Zekrom BLW, Magnezone Prime, itself, Mewtwo-EX, Reshiram-EX, Zekrom-EX, Kyurem-EX, and you can even OHKO it with a Magikarp HS; play four PlusPower and then a Junk Arm for PlusPower and attack with Splash.

Now, you may be wondering how a Pokemon that can be OHKO’d by just about anything can be good in the current format, but its greatness doesn’t lie in its HP, but rather its Poke-Body.

His attack, See Off, allows you to search your deck for a Pokemon and put it in the Lost Zone, for the cost of a Psychic Energy. Now, you may be asking yourself, “How can putting Pokemon in your Lost Zone be good?” Well, I used to play a Mew Prime/Lost World deck; its goal was to put six Pokemon in your Lost Zone and then play Lost World to allow your opponent to declare themselves the victor, but it was just for laughs.
The real reason why Mew Prime is good is because of its Poke-Body. It says that Mew Prime can use the attacks of any Pokemon in the Lost Zone, as long as it has the required Energy to use the attack.

Pokemon Card of the Day Mewtwo (Majestic Dawn)

Today's Pokemon Card of the Day is Mewtwo from the Majestic Dawn set. This is a basic, psychic type Pokemon card, with an hp of 90. It has a x2 weakness to Psychic type Pokemon, no resistance type, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. Mewtwo doesn't have a Poke-Power or Poke-Body but it does have three moves, the first move is called Energy Absorption and doesn't require any energy cards and allows you to search your discard pile for up to 2 energy cards and attach them to Mewtwo. Mewtwo's second move is called Recover and this move allows you to remove 6 damage counters from Mewtwo by discarding a Psychic energy card attached to Mewtwo and this move requires one Psychic energy card in order to use it. Mewtwo's only move that does some damage is called Psyburn and does the standard 60 damage for 3 energy cards, 2 psychic, and 1 colorless. As far as strategy goes this is a card you would want to be able to use a little later in the game when some of your Pokemon have been knocked out so there are some energy cards in the discard pile. That way you can just move Mewtwo from your bench to your hand without any energy cards on it and then use Energy Absorption and get two energy cards from the discard pile instead of wasting two turns to put energy cards on Mewtwo from your hand. You can then use Psyburn the next turn and if Mewtwo is close to feinting you can use Recover and get 2/3 of its health back. I would give this card a 4 out of 5 because this card plus Mewtwo Lv. X would be very dominant. This card is very quick and a good way to recover energy cards from the discard pile and yet is capable of doing a fair amount of damage. So thanks for reading today's review of Mewtwo from the Majestic Dawn set, stay tuned for tomorrow's review of Mew Prime from Triumphant
