Arcanine ex
A powerful Fire-type attacker that deals heavy damage at the cost of its own health.
What this card does
The attack Inferno Onrush costs two Fire Energy and one Colorless Energy to deal 120 damage to your opponent.
This same attack also deals 20 damage to Arcanine ex itself.
When Arcanine ex is Knocked Out, your opponent takes two Prize cards instead of the usual one.

The key feature of this card is the trade-off between dealing massive damage and risking self-harm. You deal 120 damage to your opponent but must also take 20 damage to Arcanine ex, which can lead to it being Knocked Out sooner than expected.
