[D] Hydreigon

(evolves from Zweilous)
Ability: Otherworldly Destruction
If your opponent's Pokémon is knocked out by damage from an attack of this Pokémon, place that Pokémon and all cards attached to it in the Lost Zone instead.
[D][D][D] Disaster Beam 100
Discard an Energy attached to this Pokémon.
W: [Y] R: ___ Retreat: [C][C][C]
Their heads on their arms do not have brains. They use all three heads to consume and destroy everything.
A Hydreigon, from Keeper of
Night, and is afraid of Fairies... seems legit. XD Let's bring Tinkerbell and judge this thing apart:
Creativity/Originality: 19/20pts
You brought back the Lost Zone! D: I'm actually ok with that, I like that mechanic as long as it wasn't very OP.
That single Fairy Weakness is nice for a change, and a Vanilla attack that actually fits Hydreigon quite well. Nice, Keeper!
Wording: 13/15pts
Just one deduction for one subtle, underrated thing in the Ability: "If your opponent's
__________ Pokémon"? It could be "If your opponent's
Active Pokémon", "If your opponent's
Defending Pokémon", or even "If
any of your opponent's Pokémon", but that clarification IS needed, so I'm taking 2 points from there. Keep an eye for that, you tend to lose points for dumb things in the Wording... xD
Believability/Playability: 15/15pts
Well, even though bringing back the lost zone is a really dangerous move, TBH, it isn't very OP in Hydreigon. It can't OHKO everything in the format, it need constant spamming of energy... Is like a Lugia would do without Colress Machine and Deoxys.
But that said, I believe this is one of the safest and one of the best ways to re-introduce the Lost Zone to the TCG, if not the most balanced. Great job, KoN!
So, overall, this card actually got a lot of my attention, I really liked it. Keep that effort going, Keeper, and buy a pair of glasses for the next time you take 3 weeks to check on Wording, would ya?
