Oracle Text
Attack Ice Beam (50): Flip a coin. If heads, the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed.
Attack Ice Wing (80)
Card Details
Character Background
Articuno from the Wizards Black Star Promos sits naturally in a control-leaning tempo plan, using Diamond Dust to pressure the board rather than just the active target. Twenty damage for a coin flip paralysis effect is already respectable, but the real strength is the bench spread: 10 damage to each opposing Benched Pokémon can soften evolving threats, break up setup decks, and force awkward switch decisions while you slow their main attacker. Because the attack is Basic and Water-aligned, it fits well in Energy acceleration shells or any Water list that wants a single, efficient disruption piece. Pair it with cards that keep the opponent from retreating cleanly, or with effects that capitalize on bench chip damage and paralysis lock. Articuno’s icy, distant lore matches its gameplay perfectly: it does not race for brute force, but instead freezes the pace of the duel and lets incremental advantage decide the game.
