Overlooked card. With so many other decks rising due to NV this card has been overlooked but can be a great tech for emboar/ phlosion varients. 6/10

I like Druddigon and currently use him as starter in most decks, he works in quite a lot of decks.

The problem with Druddigon is of course his 100hp which still means he is vulnerable to reshiram/zekrom, but no weakness makes up for that in my opinion.

I'll give him 7/10 for the fact he can work in most decks.

 

[Martinek]

nice tech vs Goth decks in Reshi decks otherwise 6/10

 

[Shino Bug Master]

Fantastic card, gets around trainer lock, clutch is great attack for it and the ability hits for the perfect damage to be metagame relevant.

7.5/10

 

[cpeterik]

Single handedly gives decks like TZPS and ReshiPhlosion a chance against decks like Vanilliuxe and Gothitelle. A 2 or 3 of staple in Zekrom to be sure.
7.5/10

 

[Sceptile King]

Really nice card. Could be used as a starter and used to stall decks that rely on only retreating and no switch
7.5/10

 

[Miamisportsfan45]

Very nice card. Currently have a deck built around it. 7.5/10

Running a bit behind, here we have Druddigon from NV (which I keep misspelling as Druidgon for some reason...dang WoW). Statwise 100 HP is nice for a Basic, no Weakness is nice, no Resistance is common, and :colorless::colorless: to Retreat is a bit pricey. Rough Skin is a decent Ability, punishing the opponent for attacking by placing 2 damage counters on the offending Pokemon (imagine this with Rocky Helmet). Clutch works to keep them there too, granted 60 for :colorless::colorless::colorless: is overpriced, but the facts it pins them in the active position (combined with bringing up something they don't want brought up with Catcher) makes it interesting to say the least.

Modified - 6/10 (I like it personally, but it is lacking in the HP department, where your usual terrors of Zekrom and Reshiram will toast it, not to mention Clutch is kinda meh)
Limited - 10/10 (Fits into any deck and gives you a big Basic with a nasty Ability and decent attack)
Unlimited - 1/10 (Too much Energy to set up, and the Ability isn't that gamebreaking here)

I use two of these in my current deck for starters, they work rather good if you dont draw a zekrom/reshiram/any other basic "good" card.
Rough skin is also something I like, works really well against players that aren't very aware of the NV set and can catch them by surprise.
And for a bsaic, the HP on this paticular card IMO should be 20 HP higher, but that isn't too big of a deal.

Overall: 8.5/10
