I’m very curious how they’ll handle this overseas. Will this even get an international printing? Now that this is in front of me, I want a card of a Pikachu just eating a burger in my collection. So I hope it does

How I wish that were the case. But in this same set, they’re somehow giga-buffing Gardevoir with that psychic stadium. This deck is already very toxic and I’m sick of seeing it for 2 and a half years at this point, it really does not need to be buffed every other set when it’s already...

Very good batch this time around. The regional counterpart duos are cute, the weather landscapes are a pretty unique concept, and the Team Starr artwork on the sleeves really pops and has a lot of personality

Very glad they’re approaching this so conservatively. With the way the meta went the last time 3-prizers were introduced, they should be very careful. Honestly, it somewhat baffles me on why they think reintroducing 3-prizers is a good idea to begin with. I thought we’ve established by now that...

First ever potentially good Kadabra card in the history of the game!

Psyduck has gotta be the one of the most playable 3-pack blister promos ever to be released next to Pecharunt.

Way too much damage spread in the meta for this to be at all good. But maybe in 2 years

You know what, double IR hit rate is better than same old. 1/3 woulda been better but at least it isn’t the normal rate. Why can’t we just have Crown Zenith again lol

Need that Zekrom for my PAR grandmaster set

Usually these “start of game” stage 2s are bad because they search out cards which can easily be Iono’d, negating 4 deck space and a turn. This seems actually workable since it’s fast energy acceleration. I’m totally gonna be testing this with Cinderace ex and Reshiram ex lol

Worst set name of all time?

Wow, these Ultra Pro binders actually look good instead of using stock art. Might pick one up

Maybe Abyss Eye will be a Lost Zone set? We didn’t get one in the SV era for the first time since XY, which was a decade ago now. “Abyss” could potentially refer to the Lost Zone, though it would be forgoing the naming scheme of Lost Thunder and Lost Origin. Otherwise, Zygarde or Primal...

Cool I guess. Tbh I’m very burnt out of Eevee and its evolutions. Much worse than Charizard these past few years. At least a pocket release means no scalping for any Eevee fans. I can’t deny that the artwork is pretty nice, but that’s been the norm for a while now

I think control decks in general will make a large resurgence come Worlds. Our current meta seems set up for them to succeed as long as the core control strategy is strong enough, with how much time decks are given to set up each game nowadays
