General description:
speak up your mind here about this card and how you like it or dislike it. Maybe dissect its parts and analyze each of its abilities and possibilities
Infernape level X is a card that can change gameplay all together. With its 2 energy Flare Up attack, infernape level X can do 150 damage and add 8 fire energies to your deck from your discard pile, allowing your deck to keep you lasting for 8 more turns. Its Poke' Power Burning head allows you to look at the top 3 cards of your deck and help you pick which card is most helpful to you. Then you discard the other two cards into your discard pile and if they are fire energy, it will just help this little pup do 150 more damage. THis chimp will speed your game up and take prize cards quickly.
Uses:
how you would use this card, or how you expect other people to use it
Most people would use this card in a fire deck with an Infernape-base to it. Because Infernape, Monferno, and Chimchar all take 2 energy or less to power, these cards are low energy cost cards that can save you the time of waiting until you have 4 energy on some other pokemon to only do 100 damage, when LV X can do 150 with only 2!!!! In any case, Infernape decks give you fast game play and you should buy a deck at gamestop for 6.99! You can add more essential cards and get rid of weaker cards such as rapidash that comes in the deck.
Strategies and game play:
discuss the strategies this card could be a part of and how it affects game play in general (especially if it's a new card)
As i have mentioned, this deck WILL let you capture your opponents prize cards quickly because of LV x's ability to get the cards you need faster. If you add speed stadium with this baby, your deck will be UNSTOPPABLE because of how many cards you can draw. As an experienced TCG player, i know how important it is to attach multiple energy cards to a pokemon per turn, so add Typhlosion with infernape and use its power to attach an energy card from your discard pile to infernape. Trust me, if you have Galactic's Mars and cards that let you draw, you will have Cities, Regionals, Nationals, and Worlds at your fingertips!
Combos with other cards:
identify other cards with which this one could make interesting combos
I have spoken AGAIN and AGAIN about the speed and other cards that own with Infernapes. But the last i have to mention is Magmortar secret wonders. I have written a small review for this card and its abitlities to attack benched pokemon is great. It will surely add to your deck.
Ways to counteract it:
