Tornadus -- Furious Fists Pokemon Card Review

Tornadus Furious Fists Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Tornadus from the Furious Fists Pokemon Card Set.  Tornadus is a basic, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 110, it has a x2 weakness to lightning type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a one colorless energy card retreat cost.  Tornadus does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Push Down, this move requires two colorless energy cards to use and does 20 damage, plus you may have your opponent switch their active Pokemon with one of their benched Pokemon.  Tornadus's second move is called Twister Throw, this move requires three colorless energy cards and does 60 damage plus 60 more damage if you have the same number of cards in your hand as your opponent.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, since Tornadus is a basic Pokemon with no evolutions, you only have to use this Pokemon in your deck if you want to use this card.  With that being said, this card could work well in any type deck since it is a colorless type deck.  Even though the moves are a little slower on Tornadus, because it only has a one colorless energy card retreat cost, you can use Tornadus in the active Pokemon spot for a bit, retreat it, and easily start attacking again when you put it back into the active Pokemon spot.  If I were to use this card in a deck I would only use a maximum of one of this card, and I would try and work it out to have the same number of cards in my hand each time as my opponent so Twister Throw would do 120 damage every single turn.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average Basic Pokemon card from the Furious Fists set.  This card does have a good HP and low retreat cost, plus two moves, but neither move in my opinion is that far above average that it would make me change my rating of the card.  This card can definitely be a solid addition to any type deck, especially if you can make the card do 120 damage every single turn.

Tornadus EX Full Art -- Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Review

Tornadus EX Full Art Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card
Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Tornadus EX Full Art from the Plasma Freeze Pokemon Card Set.  Tornadus is a basic, EX, colorless type Pokemon card with an hp of 180. It has a x2 weakness to lightning type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to fighting type Pokemon, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost.  Tornadus EX does not have an Ability but it does have two moves.  The first move that this card has is called Windfall, this move requires one colorless energy card and allows you to shuffle your hand into your deck and draw 6 new cards.  Tornadus's second move is called Jet Blast, this move requires four colorless energy cards and does 60 damage, plus 30 more damage for each Plasma Energy card attached to Tornadus.

Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, because Tornadus EX is a basic Pokemon card you won't need to use any other cards with this card.  But remember, because this card is an EX card, if this card is knocked out, two prize cards are taken instead of one.  Another thing to note with this card is that even though both its moves require colorless energy cards this card will do best in a Team Plasma based deck with Team Plasma energy cards in it.  I say this because you're going to want to save all your Team Plasma energy cards to attach to Tornadus while it is sitting on your bench so when you move it into the active Pokemon spot you can use Jet Blast every single turn and do 180 damage per turn, which will knock out almost all Pokemon in one turn.  So strategy wise, keep this card on the bench, get four energy cards on it (the more Plasma Energy cards the better) and move it into the active Pokemon spot when you have four energy cards on it.  Because there is such a big difference in attack cost between Windfall and Jet Blast, I would not move this card into the active Pokemon spot to just use Windfall.

Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 3 out of 5 rating.  In my opinion, this is an average EX Pokemon card.  I am giving this card an average rating because for an EX card, looking at this card at face value it really isn't that special.  It has a good hp, but average retreat cost, and moves.  This card will definitely rate a 5 out of 5 if you attach four Team Plasma energy cards to it and use Jet Blast every turn, but without Team Plasma energy cards, this card is no better than average.
