Attack Collect: Draw a card.
Attack Flare (30)
Card Details
Character Background
Charmander from Base Set is the classic early-game Fire Basic that rewards a straightforward aggro plan: get on the board quickly, pressure the opponent, and force them to respond before your evolution line comes online. Scratch is modest, but Ember’s 30 damage is a meaningful spike for an early attacker, especially in a format where every turn of tempo matters. The discard clause makes energy management important, so Charmander is best when paired with reliable Fire Energy acceleration or recursion to keep it attacking without stalling out. In deckbuilding, it fits naturally beside Charmeleon and Charizard lines, with Switch effects and retreat support helping preserve tempo while you build. Lore-wise, it captures the familiar image of a small but determined Fire-type starter growing into something dangerous; on the table, that translates into a low-cost threat that can chip, trade, and buy the time needed for its evolution payoff.
