Mew EX 120/124 Dragons Exalted

The idea of Card of the Week is to rate cards on just about any aspect you wish. Just keep it PG/PG-13 and rate only the card posted in the first post of a given week's Card of the Week thread!

For this week's card, we're returning to the modern era to the Dragon Exalted set.

Spoiler:

Some questions to get you started:
What decks is this useful in?
What cards does it combo well with?
What do you think about the card's capabilities?
What do you think about the card art?

Possibly my favorite card ever. I really wanted it when it first came out, and it was my first full art pull ever. And i freaking love mew. I dont know much about playability, but its attack and ability seem to be pretty solid. Only downside seems to be its low hp for an ex card.


And its just a beautiful card.

It's most useful aspect is the Versatile ability, really, but because of that low HP for an EX that really just makes it more of a last gasp attempt to save a game when you're using it.

The artwork on this card just looks awesome ! The downside is that Mew-EX will not see much play due to his low HP. His versatility is nice, but you need to make sure he is played at a correct time which your opponent cannot just counter with an opposing Mewtwo-EX for the revenge knock out.
Also this card is not exactly the best to start with. If he has no Pokemon to copy attacks, then Mew-EX is a sitting duck until you bench useful Pokemon. I remember my opponent in a tournament starting with a Mew-EX and I started with a Mewtwo-EX. I just attached a Double colorless Energy and began damaging it. He tried to retreat, but I just used a Pokemon Catcher to get an easy 2 prizes to start the game.
It could be a nice tech card if you wish to counter certain match ups but I believe Mewtwo-EX is a stronger card to play in the current meta-game.
