Mewtwo EX Replacement

Mewtwo EX Replacement

With the upcoming release of the new Ancient Origins set, and with the Card Game rotating out quite a few other sets to keep its game fresh, it is important to replace prior attackers with new ones.

Mewtwo EX was one of the few cards present in almost every deck through 2013-2015.

Now that it is rotating out, Pokemon International has decided to produce a very similar card, to keep its fans from becoming unhappy.

The answer to the deprevation of Mewtwo wars: Ancient Origin's Lugia EX.

Lugia and Mewtwo are sharing many similar features, like the 2 energy retreat cost, and 170 HP.

However, the main reason to be using Lugia, like Mewtwo, is for his first attack. Aero Ball, a two colorless energy attack which does 20 damage times the amount of energy attached to both active Pokemon. That is the same attack cost, base damage, and attack effect as Mewtwo's.

Now, here is my theory. 

With the upcoming release of Mewtwo EX and Darkrai EX battle decks, N, Darkrai, and Mewtwo EX will be reprinted. A few fans have speculated that these reprints will only be allowed in the Expanded format, while I believe that these three cards will be allowed in the main Format again.

Definitely keep an eye open!
