The information in the article is incorrect. The cards aren't errata'd versions of the banned cards, they're explicitly mentioned as entirely new cards according to the announcement in the official japanese website. They still have C regulation marks though, so should rotate alongside the final...
Welp, not very promising when you call your local store ("Mundo Del Juguete" in Argentina) and they don't have a clue on the cards (and it doesn't seem like I was first call, they were aware of the articles but assured they never announced it themselves and had no idea if the cards were to ever...
Pure speculating, but i wouldn't be surprised if that Japanese remix set coming in a couple months brings it. I'd be weird to only get charizard and blastoise as gxs, but no venusaur (and I think the same with blaziken and sceptile having a gx, but no swampert)
I mean, not really going against your argument but there's no info about the typing of Buzzwole&Pheromosa iirc; it could very well be a grass card (which would have interesting implications, with the support grass already has) since both are Bug/Fighting.
One thing I wonder: How will promos integrated into our main sets (Lunala and Solgaleo, Hiker and Masked Royale from Celestial Storm) work in this scenario? Since in Japan they're from the "A block", yet we got them on a set that has mostly "B block" cards... Guess time will tell, would...
Ohh, I really like Energy Spinner! Another reinvention of Energy Search, but with a twist for first turn. Not sure how playable it might be though, only deck I could see it being a clear addition is probably Alolan Exeggutor lol.
I mean, it's as much as the Ultra Beast Premium Collection last year... So not really, pricing sounds par for the course considering all the other stuff it comes with.
Welp, just noticed I never actually posted a list... So might as well do it before more info gets out :p
Put the Nuzzle Pikachu there as a wildcard (would make Raichu/Pachirisu still viable post rotation, and it's a splashable basic so it'd make sense for TPCi to include it in my opinion), I...
Maybe they're getting new promos in the Japanese SM7b (Fairy Rise)? Would be reasonable for the other two Guardians to come in that set, with Koko and Bulu having came out in SM7a... even if they come here in a different way around here (on our SM8, or maybe in an eventual era-closing set ala...
Yup. At least it almost completely confirms no Feraligatr on the set ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Now, if we could only get some grass or fire card before Blaziken-GX, so we can confirm what's getting cut there lol
Round 7
@starg09 wins over @jpaulo.fh 2-0
Best of luck to everyone who reached top 8, and also to anyone playing the July tournament! It was a fun experience, will participate again for sure ^^
