The artwork of the card looks awesome! Prize count sounds like a useless attack, but it's actually very useful late game. Since you can use Arceus Lv X's Ominiscent to copy any attacks in play, that may come in handy, or if you just evolved the Dark Arceus to the Ominiscent Lv X, you can abuse his type to OHKO those pesky Gengars!


Modified 8/10- Pretty good against Gengar decks, since it may come back and it's good in a Arceus Deck

Limited- 4/10- Still pretty useful I suppose against specific Pokemon.

Unlimited- 1/10- Sorry, but there are better choices are there.
 
A nice card, even as a basic tech in a dark deck or a deck that plays dark energy. The ability to strike back after your opponent gets the one up on prizes make this card worth playing.

In Arceus, it's about the same. All in all a really awesome card, especially with expert belt (100 for 2).

9/10 +1 for awesome artwork
 
I highly hesitate to call this awesome. Yes it is nice late game in an Arceus deck. Who knows though, history may smile on this card as an amazing tech, for now:
Modified: 6/10
 
It's really tough to rate these before we see how the deck is gonna work. I think Arceus will be a pretty
good combo, but I don't see it being strong in the format at large with machamp running around.

In any arceus deck, this will be your late game hitter. (I also like how it's level 100.) :smile:

8/10

Ooh, AR cards today...and of course, leading off the charge is none other than Arceus himself (this one the :dark: type). Statwise, 70 HP is decent for a Basic, x2 Weakness to :fighting: hurts, -20 Resistance to :psychic: helps, and :colorless to Retreat isn't unreasonable. Prize Count is good enough at :dark::colorless, dealing 20+ 60 more if you have more prizes left. Now granted, I think the whole Arceus archtype is sorta...weak, but this looks like one you'll want to use for sure, due to its comeback power.

Modified - 7/10 (Not sure completely how an Arceus deck will go, but this will likely be a key component I'd guess. Sucks in everything not its own deck though)
Limited - 6/10 (Decent stats, good attack if you happen to be losing)
Unlimited - 1/10 (No use here)
 
a moderately effective card vs gengar (OHKO with a highly expendable pokemon)
works in flygon. Good in an arceus deck.
7/10
 
Very cool. 70 HP for a basic LEgendary is is rather lame-o. But attack is nice. 1 can do 40 for 2 (with special Dark), which is average. But if your losing then the attack ROCKS! 100 for 2 Energy! AWESOME! (special dark, but that's easy with Weavile) Could be use in conjunction with Regigias Lv. X. Sacrifice then Prize Count to keep the game rolling easy for you. (maybe)

7/10 migh be higher if the HP was. Still Definitly good with the double Pokebody Lv. X.

~May the Will be done.
 
This same card was also on another site's card of the day. What a coincidence!

This is probably the best attack Arceus. 80 for 2 is amazing, but its entirely situational. Luckily there is the pantheon Arceus who can copy attacks from other Arceus. This will likely be one of the main attackers, any time you are behind prizes.

70hp is a tad low, but not too atypical from dark types- typically lower HP in exchange for higher damage output. The psychic resistance is great, considering few of the other Arceus have a resistance. 1 retreat is solid for a legendary.
 
70 HP is not the best, but it is still OK. The fact that Arceus can level up into a Pokemon with better HP is a benefit. Fighting weakness is good, as there are rarely no cards that are played that are fighting, except for Machamp who would KO Arceus in one shot. Psychic resistance is good, especially against Gengar. And then its only attack is great when you are behind. 2 for 80 with the ability to abuse Darkness energy...I'd say that's pretty good. 6/10
 
"Once upon a time I was fallin' in love, now I'm only fallin' apart. Nothing I can do, but total eclipse of the Arceus."

Best Arceus in a deck concept that seems very hard to pull off in this format.
8/10 in Arceus
4/10 in everything else

That music video is so weird...


A nice card, doing a solid average of 2 for 50. 8/10.
