    1-Evaluate the artwork from 00 to 10.
    2- Potential of the card 0 / 10.
    3- How would use this card.


    [PokeCommunity.com] Card of the Day 1# Mew Prime


     
    Good idea, next time try to go for a larger image though.
    Artwork: 8/10 - I prefer hand-drawn artwork to CG, but compared to the other cards of the same style this one is pretty good. Mew is pretty cute, and there's a nice little rainbow effect on the right side.

    As for this card's potential, I think it would have a lot if not for it's pathetic HP. I would run it in gyarados to put all four magikarp in the discard, lost zone gyarados with mew's attack, and then use mew instead of gyarados for 120 damage instead of 90. However, the HP is so low that you basically sacrifice the first one in the turn after you use the attack to lost zone gyarados, and after that you're pretty much replacing it every turn. Compare 60 HP and 120 damage output to gyarados' 130 HP and 90 damage output (in reality 150 HP and 110 damage with expert belt, almost the same as what mew can deal out). Putting expert belt on the mew is just asking to lose two prizes. So overall, I don't think it's worth it.
    I've heard that in Japan it's used in gengar prime with the lost world stadium, but we don't have that card in format. There are a couple of other cards it could work with, but I think the HP generally hinders it too greatly to be very effective.
    4/10 playability.
     
    Cool idea. I agree with RE, go for a larger pic. I like the card too, I would say 7.5/10 from an art POV. As for potential and use... well I don't have that one so I would put it in a binder :) I don't play much so I'll just comment on part 1!
     
    Attack is horrible. I wouldn't bother wasting 2 prizes to take 1. Dunno what else is a nice way of dumping Pokemon.

    Body is nice. It's a cool counter when set up. If you could bother dropping all that Gyarados trash, you could kill lots of stuff. It's nice for anti-Macheap in that sense. You're hitting mews faster than them with Macheaps. Even so, it needs ridiculous setup to pull that damage, so however you plan to go, it seems like a waste with the original Pokemon's bulk. It would definately work fine in Gyarados against Prime.
     
    With the right partner like Rhyperior Lv X, it's a force to be reckoned with. 8/10
     
    I rate the artwork 8/10. However, the potential I would give something like 5/10, since this card can help you alot and do fantastic things, or it may not help you at all. This is, Mew has a great Poké-BODY, but to get a Pokémon in the Lost Zone, Mew would have to spend 1 turn. Then, the player would have to spend even more turns to equip Mew with energies (specially if a good attack is wanted [good attacks need lots of energies]). At the end of the day, for Mew to have a good attack, 4 or 5 turns would be needed, and in those turns, specially because mew only has 60HP, the opponent's Pokémon would be able to calmly knock Mew down. Of course, if the user gets in fact the chance of having Mew with a good attack, this could make Mew a great strategy.
     
    1- 10/10
    2- 10/10
    3- don't know how i would use it
