Its attacks

Flare Blitz

120

Discard all Fire Energy attached to this Pokémon.

Flare Up

200

If you have fewer than 10 Fire Energy cards in your discard pile, this attack does nothing. Shuffle 10 Fire Energy cards from your discard pile into your deck.

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

    Flare Up hits for 200 on 2 Energy. Nothing in Steam Siege hits harder for that price.

  3. Keep in mind

    None of the 3,810 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

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

  5. Keep in mind

    Weakness Water ×2. Against a Water Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,810 tournament lists we have read, 1,533 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.

When it came out

Steam Siege landed here on 3 August 2016.
