FIRST! It does go good with a few pokemon that are both coming out soon or already out. The art is AWESOME! Great health. (LIKE ALL EMBOAR! XD)

I give this card a 7/10

Art: 5/10
Attacks: 6/10
HP: 7/10
Retreat: 6/10
Overall: 6/10

This card is pretty good and is the second best Emboar released but this Emboar came too late with all the Keldeo/Blastoise decks running around.

4-5/10, its like Charizard but not as awesome. First attack is meh, potential 70 for 3 energies, so many cards give you guaranteed damage for that amount, its got to be sad to only get 40 off 3 energies at times. The second attack is ok, nice amount of damage, the discard is eh, its like Mewtwo's 2nd attack but more costly. Its a stage 2 with no ability either, very hard to get out and not going to take down any EX's except Shaymin which is a tech at best.

Good stats, but obviously the other Emboar is better. This guy is like a lot of the other recently reviewed cards, high cost beat stick with nothing more which cant make it in this meta. Plus he gets destroyed by Blastoise decks which makes it harder for this card to see any usage.

Or I could play Reshiram BLW that has a lower attack cost, is a basic, and has a better first attack. Not a totally horrible card, just the worst Emboar so far.
