There should be no more Tera cards since these complete the 7 that should be in the set:
{G} Froslass ex, {W} Garchomp ex, {L} Mewtwo ex, {F} Hoopa ex, {M} Skeledirge ex, {F} Toxtricity ex and {W} Tsareena ex.
Tsareena seems to have the Ice tera hat while Toxtricity has the Ground.

+ the only tera hats still not represented in the TCG are Flying, Poison and Rock

There's still a couple more ex that are yet to be revealed though right?
 
Vanilluxe seems to be a hard Gardi counter, and being a water stage 2 ain't that bad since we have irida, I just wish they'd stop giving all these good abilities to water, lightning and psychic pokemon. Show grass some love, I can't wait for ogrepons debut. But knowing tpci, they'll make the water ogrepon busted, and all the others something lame.

Do we have an idea on which ones will receive full art (white background) versions?
 
Just because they're sucky parents doesn't mean the professors should go unrecognized. It's not often that a human character/Supporter gets a second Full Art within a year of their first appearance in the TCG (I can rattle off Lusamine as an example), and if the professors have SARs this time, that would be wonderful! (Not to mention hefty in price, though thankfully not Iono levels of stupid!)

Cool, a fighting energy ramp card.

But how good is it really? Why is Fighting Energy acceleration always from the discard? I feel like Fighting gets severely neglected. We got Koraidon ex, Garchomp ex, and now this that all accelerate Fighting Energy and its all from the discard and non of them are all that great. One ends your turn, one is only upon Evolution of a 2 prize stage 2, and the last one(probably the best) is 1 per turn on a stage 2 but does heal 30 at the same time so kind of nice but Water type got a stage 2 that attaches freely from the hand as much as you want. Why do they hate Fighting type?
