So soon the time comes for a new set with prereleases starting for Next Destinies (my own being jan 28th) and the set is making quite the buzz with the return of the pokemon ex theme.
However there is more to this set then just the 8 or so pokemon ex such as todays first preview card of the day........Skyarrow Bridge
Skyarrow Bridge
Trainer Stadium
Each players basic Pokemons retreat cost is lowered by 1 Energy.
Wow is all i can say for this people. Skyarrow Bridge is the latest in a line of amazing stadiums that benefit a basic pokemon deck (Snowpoint Temple and Galactic HQ come to mind look them up). Skyarrow Bridge makes the Genie Trio (Tornadus,Thundurus,Landorus) free retreat. It also lowers the massive retreat cost of the ex pokemon to a more manageable 1-2 (most of the good ex pokemon range from about 2-3).
The biggest plus to this Stadium is that it counters one of the best Trainer cards in the game Pokemon Catcher. In a all basic deck such as 6 Corners, CaKE and ZPST Skyarrow Bridge makes your opponents Catcher pretty useless as your pokemon will have very manageable 1-2 energy Retreat Cost.
Its becoming apparent we have entered the era of basic decks as this card and tomorrows card Prism Energy are making it very hard to build anything but basic pokemon decks
Rating
Modified: 4/5 (decks like CaKE, 6 Corners and ZPST are gonna abuse this card alot)
If at any point anyone feels like i missed something big about a card feel free to comment and let me know, till next time.
