Feel like Pokemon is slowly creeping into the same issues Magic has fallen into (and that comicbooks fell into during their boom-and-bust era). Too many sets and too much in them going on with awful pull rates

It's bad enough there's shiny pokemon in here again, but it's not even gen 7 pokemon? Like come on it's literally a set revolving around gen 7's box-art legendaries
