First

Anyways, any card with a Fire weakness is going to have a really hard time in this format, no matter if it has a 20 damage buffer or not. 90 HP is laughable for an attacker when we have Basics with 130 HP that can dish out 120 easily.

3/10

^That, plus the fact that this card's retreat cost makes it prone to Catcher.

2/10

Today's CotD is Escavalier from NV...eh, I dunno, it's quirky in ways. Statwise 90 HP is average for a Stage 1, x2 Weakness to :fire: is meh, -20 Resistance to sychic: can help, and :colorless::colorless::colorless: to Retreat is expensive. Guard Press is ok, :metal::colorless: for 40 isn't that bad and reducing incoming damage to Escavalier by 20 can be formidable when he has some Special :metal: on him. Twineedle is the kind of attack that deters people though, :metal::colorless::colorless: for 70x the number of Heads you get with 2 coins is flippy and unreliable, even if you could potentially OHKO most Stage 2s.

Modified - 2/10 (Eh maybe if it had a better secondary attack, but as is it's not really worth playing, especially with all the :fire: out there)
Limited - 7/10 (Solid Stage 1 for :metal: using decks)
Unlimited - 1/10 (No use here, weak and easy to KO)

It actually counters Beartic and Kyruem fairly well... I mean, it's a fun league card, and is fun to play with Accelgor. Not to mention it can get set up by T2 and Fliptini makes it better too.

This card is unlikely to see any use as its attacks and HP are outclassed by cobalion wich has the advantage of being basic. It can counter ice things well but so can cobalion.

1/10 Terrible Retreat Cost. Bad attacks. Low HP just overall will only see play in league decks probably.
