White Flames

70

Discard all Fire Energy cards attached to Arcanine.

What to make of it

Have a look at what it does well, then at what will get in your way. After that you'll know whether it belongs in your deck.

  1. A strength

    White Flames hits for 70 on 3 Energy. Nothing in Skyridge hits harder for that price.

  2. A strength

    It has an Ability, Energy Recharge. An Ability costs you no attack, so you can use it and still swing the same turn.

  3. Keep in mind

    None of the 4,426 tournament lists we have read runs it. That does not make it a bad card — it means we have not seen it on a table yet.

  4. Keep in mind

    Weakness Water ×2. Against a Water Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 4,426 tournament lists we have read, 1,770 run at least one Pokémon of that type.

Who plays it

None of the tournament lists we have read mentions this card. That happens with a card that has just come out, or one players have not tried yet.
