wailord pokemon card - 032/159 - Crown Zenith - Evolution Set end display Wailord-EX | XY—Primal Clash |

Counter Blitz Im starting off with a choice I imagine very few people would disagree with

This deck takes a fast-paced approach, using your own Life cards to cheat out Shandian Warrior Characters on the field and create aggressive turns

Folks were quick to figure out this cards powerful interactions with cards like Dockside Extortionist and Dualcaster Mage, so it really set a high bar for the rest of the set

Thats an area where Orchard Strider cant even slightly compete with the 1-mana forestcycling ability on the better treefolk, and power creep wins again as we shake our fists at the sky

A thorough examination of the card (and Merfolk in general) can be found here
