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.

A strength
280 HP. Only 3 cards in Brilliant Stars carry more.
A strength
Star Blaze hits for 320 on 4 Energy. Nothing in Brilliant Stars hits harder for that price.
Keep in mind
None of the 8,067 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.
Keep in mind
Weakness Water ×2. Against a Water Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 8,067 tournament lists we have read, 3,294 run at least one Pokémon of that type.
Keep in mind
Mark F. It is not among the marks currently accepted in Standard: H, I, and J. A legal reprint may still provide an exception.
