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

    Retreat cost 1. One Energy to discard and it is back on the Bench, which matters a lot on the turn you need to swap attackers.

  2. A strength

    Dragonblade hits for 160 on 2 Energy. Nothing in Brilliant Stars hits harder for that price.

  3. A strength

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

  4. A strength

    No Weakness printed on the card. Nothing doubles up the damage it takes.

  5. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,826 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.

  6. Keep in mind

    It is a Stage 2. You have to come through Gabite to get here, or find a Rare Candy to skip the middle step.

  7. 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.
