Collector Insights

Blaine's Magmar is a Pokémon card featuring a Fire-type design with a themecolor of #c98247. The card is part of the Challenge from the Darkness set, released on June 25, 1999, and is illustrated by artist Ken Sugimori. It has 60 HP and is classified as a Pokémon with a rarity of Uncommon. The card includes two attacks: Firebreathing, which costs one Fire Energy and deals 10 damage plus an additional 10 if a coin flip results in heads, and Lava Burst, requiring three Fire Energies to discard the top five deck cards and deal 20 damage for each Fire Energy discarded. The Lava Burst attack’s effect is contingent on the number of Fire Energy cards in the deck. Firebreathing’s dual outcome based on a coin flip introduces variability in its damage output. The card’s design and mechanics reflect its thematic association with fiery attacks and strategic resource management.
