Probably one of the worst stage 2 rares ever created. first attack is fast but flippy and a chance to fail. 2nd attack is just straight terrible. 4 for 100 is not bad, but its not AMAZING either, and a 50% chance to straight up kill yourself is just no good. Free retreat is nice but only having 100 hp just makes this too fragile.

I give it a 1/10 for the free retreat and fighting resistance... even then I don't think it deserves even that...

PS: 1st
 
Not nice. WAYYYYYYYYYYYY too flippy. If there was some way to eliminate these coin flips (if there was it'd break the game even more) then this card would definitly do some good. Free retreat is good :thumb:

2/10

~May the Will be done.
 
100 hp really bad for Stage 2, good resistance, free retreat, first attack only cost's one energy but there's a 50-50 chance it won't do anything... Brave Heart attack terrible.

3/10 Modfied
5/10 Limited
0/10 Unlimited
 
Nice mohawk.

Had to say that! All right...Accelerative Dive is pretty decent for 30 for 1, protect for 1 turn? Brave Heart takes too much energy, and there is really no point in using it unless you landed heads for Accelerative Dive the turn before...so not the best. 100 damage is nice, though. 3/10
 
Bonus card 2 is Staraptor from DP, another bad holo. Statwise, 100 HP is horrible for a Stage 2 (30 less than average), +30 Weakness to :lightning hurts, -20 Resistance to :fighting: is nice, and 0 to Retreat is always good. Accelerate Dive looks decent at 30 for :colorless, but the chance to do nothing at all (or prevent all damage/effects next turn) make it flippy. Brave Heart is overpriced at :colorless:colorless:colorless:colorless for 100, and is made worse by the fact you have a 50/50 chance of doing 100 to yourself (meaning you KO yourself more than likely).

Modified - 1/10 (No saving graces here, just a bad card all around)
Limited - 1/10 (Even if you get this out, you still have 2 bad flippy attacks)
Unlimited - 1/10 (No use here at all)
