Ancient Origins [8/15, aka Bandit Ring]

I shudder a bit at how much I expect the shiny primals and shiny m. Rayquaza's to be. Guess that box with the shiny Rayquaza EX makes more sense now.

So we have three mega Pokemon now without an extra deck as the reasoning (Charizard Y EX). Wonder what type m. Ampharos and m. Sceptile will be? My guess is not dragon for at least one of them unfortunately. Is the m. Sceptile EX in this set different from the promo one I expect to follow the already revealed promo m. Blaziken and m. Swampert?

So far, we haven't got a Promo M Sceptile EX. As such, this'll probably the first M Sceptile we get and we'll get either the June Promo Sceptile EX with different art or a different Sceptile EX.

And yeah, my PGroudon and Mrayray decks just got a whole lot more expensive for the bling blang.
 
Nice, M Tyranitar-EX! I wonder if its gonna be Dark or Fighting and if its Dark, hopefully one of the new Special Energies is for Dark type.
 
Two of my favorite Megas (Ampharos and Sceptile) AND the true return of Shiny Pokemon? omg this set finally has my attention <3

I personally wouldn't mind either one, I just wasn't a fan of the Gold Megas BECAUSE they weren't Shiny and easily could've been lol

The BCR-PLB Shinies were actually new artwork and a differently designed card. The XY series SR Pokemon bar Dialga are all just exactly the same card, with a photoshop tool replacing one background colour with gold.
 
Come on, I need Mega Blaziken in a pack. I know it's like a tournament promo or whatever but I just wanna be able to pull my own M Blaziken

Okay yeah you have a point there., new artwork would be nice
 
Mega Ampharos and the return of Shiny Pokémon! \o/ This is the best news for the set so far. :3

Is it too much to hope for that the Shiny Megas to also be FAs? >_> <_<

That would be just too good to be real, but I hope so...
 
Finally M Tyranitar. will it be dark or rock, I hope it's rock and M ampharos to be dragon. I geuss M sceptile might not be included in bandit ring.
 
Wow, this set looks awesome ex wise. Machamp, Sceptile, Ampharos and Tyranitar Full Arts. After being really disappointed with Roaring Skies I cannot wait for this set to be released.
 
Have to wait and see what happens with the Sceptile thing. We haven't seen the promo Sceptile EX either but we know we're getting it in June. Though certainly not impossible I doubt we'd get promos of m. Blaziken and m. Swampert and not m. Sceptile. Still we could easily get two m. Sceptile cards (promo and set) and they could still be grass types. I think it likely we'll have two different ones as we did with Gallade EX.

I do wonder which m. Rayquaza EX we'll get. I would bet on the colorless one myself.
 
I'm not sure if anyone's mentioned this, but the symbol on Celebi's card is Theta. Do you think this has anything to do with the future Pokemon games? It is a plane angle in Geometry, so maybe it could be related to X and Y, or possibly something to do with the circular nature of the rings, suggesting that Hoopa may possibly play a large role in upcoming events, maybe a Theta version, or a Theta Z..?
I'm probably overthinking this, though. Too much.
...
Oh, right. The cards.
Yes, new cards.
This is a thread about TCG.
...
They look pretty awesome, love the design, and that Machamp... Its Crazy Hammer sounds intense... That is, to a TCG noob like myself, haha.
 
For what it's worth I don't think the theta trait has anything to do with the next game in line, no more than the delta trait in Roaring Skies had anyrhing to do with the delta species Pokemon (unfortunately). I'd bet anything the next game in line is either Z or X2/Y2.

Now gen 7 on the other hand, well who knows.

That's true, I suppose, although Delta did seem to correspond with Rayquaza, whereas Theta seems somewhat random. As I said, though, I'm most likely looking into this too much. Hoping for a Z!
 
Wa, no Gyarados :O

Can't say I'm disappointed, but not as overly hyped about the set as Roaring Skies. I am very interested to see what the [D] and [L] special energy will be (we can assume based off the megas).

So I am assuming that Tyranitar will be [D] and Ampharos [L] to match with the special energies.
