Its attacks

Ring of Fire

40

The Defending Pokémon is now Burned, and can't retreat until the end of your opponent's next turn.

Split Blast

100

Discard 1 Energy card attached to Typhlosion ex. If your opponent has more than 1 Defending Pokémon, you may do 50 damage to each of them instead.

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

    160 HP. Only 1 cards in Sandstorm carry more.

  2. A strength

    Split Blast hits for 100 on 5 Energy. Nothing in Sandstorm 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 an ex card. The turn it goes down your opponent takes 2 Prizes instead of one, and games do turn on exactly that.

  5. Keep in mind

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

  6. Keep in mind

    Weakness Fighting ×2. Against a Fighting Pokémon, apply that to the damage it takes — it climbs fast. Of the 3,810 tournament lists we have read, 875 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

Sandstorm landed here on 18 September 2003.
