Tornadus-EX

Description

The 2011 Tornadus-EX (BW96) from the Pokémon BW Black Star Promos series represents a unique chapter in TCG history. As a promo release, this card was distributed outside standard retail packs, making it a distinct target for set builders and dedicated collectors. The card features artwork by Ryo Ueda, capturing the essence of the legendary bird Pokémon in a format that appeals to enthusiasts of the Black & White era. Tornadus-EX is classified as a Basic Pokémon with 170 Hit Points, designed to withstand early-game pressure. Its Colorless typing offers versatility in deck construction, allowing it to integrate with various energy acceleration strategies. The card’s gameplay revolves around two primary attacks: Blow Through, which increases damage if a Stadium card is in play, and Power Blast, which deals significant damage at the risk of discarding attached energy. This high-risk, high-reward profile makes it a compelling subject for players interested in the strategic depth of the Black Star Promos subset. For collectors, the BW96 designation and the Black Star Promos label provide clear cataloging value. The holo finish adds visual appeal, distinguishing it from standard print runs. Whether you are expanding your Black & White collection or seeking specific promo variants, this card offers a tangible connection to the 2011 Pokémon TCG landscape.
