Is Kyurem good in Standard?
Its hardest-hitting attack is Black Frost on Black Kyurem ex (Surging Sparks), doing 250 for 4 Energy. The bulkiest version is Black Kyurem ex with 230 HP, but it gives up 2 Prize cards when Knocked Out. Watch out for Metal attackers — that's its weakness.
Abilities
Kyurem (Shrouded Fable): Plasma Bane. Abilities can be used without attacking — check the card for exactly what each one does.
