2009-1-28 Charmander SF 101/100

[alexir]

its an ok card basically because it can evolve into the mighty charizard and because its a secret rare.
only used in a charizard deck

5/10
first post ever

[Cyrus]

Once upon a time, this Charmander stood out as one of the best "little" basics. Nowadays, it's horrible with that x2 weakness.

Sorry, but I'm not interested in FTKO's via Palkia G or Seadra. =(

2/10.

This card is just too cute. 10/10 :thumb:

[DarkStar20]

Binder Candy : 9/10 (Not as impressive as the Charizard.)

Gameplay: 00/100 (KOed....what more do you need to know?)

x2 Weakness... Oh well.

2/10 Playability
10/10 Binder Buffness

[pikachu*]

Back at base set this card used to be half decent, fast forward till now horrible... LvX>Charmander.

00/100, Present.
6/10, Back 10 or something years ago.

5/10 only good for collection

The nostalgia kills me and I have to give it a 10 just for that. But I have to say the Charmander from SW is more playable since it has better weakness, same HP, same Retreat Cost, but with better attacks.

[charchar]

AMAZING CARD!!!!

1000/10

*char*

[i like burdn of a day]

SW Mander is btr, 1/10

[Deoxys Cool Form]

6/10 As a basic I like the fact that itcan hit 30 but the weakness is horrid

[POKEMAN]

What!!?!! No one even mentioned that he artwork is like a leet version of the oldschool artwork, which makes it like retro + leet = 1337/10

[prodigal_fanboy]

If points were awarded for aesthetics and nostalgia, 10/10 (I ran a charizard deck when base set was out). Playability, 1/10.

[ArmoredMewtwo]

It's not very playable... If you're going to use the old Charizard, I can sort of understand, but this card is rendered practically useless.

[magmurder]

the one from secret wonders is way better.
its just for selling on ebay.
3/10 only because its cute

[DJ_Plush]

Hmm. Good to put on the bench and build up. It's not REAL bad if you can build it up fast to a charizard. Dislike the weakness, but hey, nothing's perfect. It's okay, not real great, though. I like the artwork mostly out of it all.

A sidenote to Blizzard: Just my honest thoughts, but maybe you could put an explanation on why it's the card of the day? Or is it just picked at random?

[brick11]

playability: -37/10
UBERNESS: 8374/10

[blitz101]

= 999/10

This card is very special for me. This was (in the Base Set) the very first card I ever got. Everyone in my elementary school class had Pokemon cards except me. One day this girl was giving away her cards, and I asked her if I could have one. She was nice enough to give it to me, but mean enough to rip it up first. I took it home, taped it together, and kept it as my very first card. Even now, while I have an enormous collection of cards, I keep this ripped up Charmander in my collection as a sort of memento. When I learned this card was being reprinted as a secret rare, I ardently wished I would pull one at the prerelease, but I didn't. :( But I'll get the whole set eventually ;)

For collectors: ∞/10, with Charizard being ∞^2/10 :P

[machampX]

I go through the sets every month and then analyze the Meta if a card has made an interest in Pokemon and we haven't used it in COTD yet I include it in the list. then I go through and look for other cards of interest ie secret rares really cool looking cards and finish out the month.

A good old blast from the past (what, 10 years ago now), Charmander SF is pretty much a direct reprint of Base Set Charmander. 50 HP is a bit dated now, as well as a x2 Weakness to :water:, no Resistance, and costing :colorless to Retreat. Scratch is you basic opening attack, dealing 10 for :colorless. Ember deals 30 for :fire::colorless, but you also have to discard a :fire: on Charmander.

Overall...well, it's nice to see for all of us who have been playing for 10 years, but on the other hand, Charmander SW is a far superior choice; it lacks the x2 Weakness, deals 10 damage for free, etc.

Modified - 1/10 (A good collector's card, but nobody is going to use 4 of these in a deck, let alone spend the money to obtain 4)
Limited - 1/10 (Odds are you're not drawing Charmeleon with him, and even less odds you'll get the whole line. Stick him in a binder)
Unlimited - 1/10 (If you really want to use him, pick up some Base Set Charmander, guaranteed to be cheaper than this guy)

[Rita]

cute card... i like Charmander, but I don't like his weakness. X2 water with a 50 hp is a little too much for me. I would just have this Charmander form in my collector's book. 4/10

[natizardblast]

i have sooooo many ofm theses from base set its not funny. i counted and i have 13!!!, 13!!!!!!!!1. what the heck will d owith all of them.

no i will no damage them in any way!

[deogg]

10/10 for the nostalgia factor.
2/10 for actual playability. I'd go with the SW Charmander instead.
