Festival Lead Dipplin with a Maximum Belt sounds like a fun meme deck

What do people think of Finizen from Obsidian Flames with this? Imho I was hoping it would synergize more with Palafin (ex), but at least Ascension style attacks always have some merit.

This is kinda an issue with regional forms in the videogames too, how to include them in other regions than their own. I think the Terarium has been the best solution so far, since it is a man-made habitat with pokémon introduced from all over.

Are these the first Hisuian cards of the SV block? I hope it means we will see some new Hisuian Qwilfish/Overqwil and Basculin/Basculegion cards in upcoming sets. Oh, and new Kleavor cards too. Edit: actually, hopefully the Alolan and Galarian forms featured in the Indigo Disk dlc as well

Not only that, Raging Bolt being Dragon rather than Lightning as well. Though that might be on purpose to not make it as strong with Miraidon ig Koraidon ex's second attack is listed as [F][F][F] rather than [R][F][F] btw

Correct me if I'm wrong, but is it possible that Ancient Booster Energy Capsule is a Tool card? The fact it is called energy capsule rather than just energy makes it sound more like a tool card. I wish they showed one of the new ACE SPEC cards, or teased one, just to get a glimpse of their...

I'd be honestly impressed if the devs manage to implement this attack without any bugged interactions. I feel like it would be nigh impossible to not miss some weird edge cases of game states where this attack doesn't behave as intended.

Seeing a new Kadabra card is crazy enough, but that attack on Alakazam ex is what really astounds me! Really curious about all the rulings it will have, considering all effects that trigger when a pokémon is damaged or knocked out by attacks.

I find it amusing in a meta sense that Revavroom is a draw engine. Otherwise, my first impression is that this is a pretty straightforward set, which is to be expected for the first set of a new generation.

Poor Koraidon and Miraidon, they sucked the typing out of their cards! Glad to see a return to old ex cards. I'm hoping they give a boost to Stage 2 ex pokémon, since I otherwise think they will be too slow.

Makes me wonder where Rotom VSTAR will end up though. Will it also be in the set?

Lost Abyss seems to be a very innovative set, even outside the Lost Zone mechanic. There are lots of interesting effects and attacks in the set, some that seem really novel as well. Notable examples include Amoonguss, Hypno, Dragapult, Barbaracle and Metagross. But I think Aerodactyl VSTAR's...

Yeah, that's likely why they were revealed together. Very straightforward combo, but there's more *fun* combos to make, right? :D

Ninja Boy-esque effects always piques my interest. They have a tendency to enable unexpected combos, which I like. With that said, since you switch the pokémon with one in the discard rather than in the deck, you can't fully surprise your opponent with Thorton. If they see a Conkeldurr V in...

A pretty odd selection of cards in this reveal. Other than Toolbox synergizing with Rotom V, there aren't really any connecting themes between the cards. Drapion V/VStar is puzzling me the most. Drapion V is a battle style hate card, while the VStar cares about being at full health? And has a...
