I’m trying to imagine why TCPi apparently has such a grudge against Lady - did she accidentally spill coffee on them or something, and they were like “Well, I guess no international release of your Full Art for you, then”?

Theme decks are actually pretty cool nowadays - many of the ones from the Sun/Moon block focus on particular strategies that are often seen in high-level competitive play, and they also allow newer players to get their hands on good Pokemon/Trainers (Cynthia, Malamar, Swampert, etc.) Of course...

Both Zoroark and Naganadel were legal with Wally towards the end of last season, so that's obviously not true (Zoroark needs the early board setup through Brigette/Fan Club/Apricorn Maker, and for Naganadel, it's pretty much impossible to get CB, Beast Energy, and FIVE Ultra Beasts on the Bench...

Blitzle is really sweet since it will be searchable by Professor Elm's Lecture (unlike the one we'll be getting in Lost Thunder) Bisharp seems like a decent tech against Gardevoir, but it can't really be splashable if you can't use Rainbow Energy - will likely fit into decks that can already...

My first impulse would be to get rid of the Turn 1 clause on Rare Candy (meaning you can always play it whenever you have the basic in play and the Stage 2 in hand); however, with cards like Decidueye-GX and Solgaleo-GX in the game now, that would get real broken, real fast. I really don’t...

PTCGLabs Employee 1: Hey, what older card do you think we should reprint? PTCGLabs Employee 2: How about the card we literally just banned from Expanded?

Towering Splash, hm? Magikarp & Stakataka-GX incoming, y’all :p

Just letting you know, some of your numbering got messed up after Zeraora (which really confused me at first when I was comparing your list with mine haha)

Interesting that we won’t be getting either Weavile or Darkrai in Dark Order, since those are generally regarded as quintessential Dark-type Pokemon, but...hooray for diversity?

All right - there's one SR Trainer between RR Lugia and Lost Mixer that hasn't been revealed yet. What do we think it's gonna be: React Hammer or Moo-Moo Milk? :D

Dang - not gonna lie, I was kinda hoping for a new FA Hau to reflect his new art (like what they did previously with Lillie/Lusamine)

It's a minor thing, but that Lycanroc on the pack art is definitely Shiny as well. It'll be really interesting to see if and how we'll be getting these Shiny cards (maybe Best of Sun & Moon Collection box sometime in the future?)

Maybe - there are no other Dragon types in the set, so I think its inclusion would be kinda random Still, Hydreigon being in Dragon Majesty was super out-of-place, so anything's possible!

If there's anything I've learned from trying to figure out setlists for the past few sets, it's that TCPi is not consistent AT ALL when it comes to counting FA/RRs towards the overall count of GXs for the set. :D I think if we were to get the FA/RR Zekrom, it would be in this set, since it ties...

I wanted to wait until all the SRs for SM8 were revealed, but I'm impatient, so... here's my best crack at a list. This is obviously a very rough draft; however, I think this is a good starting point, and would love to hear any and all input. Thanks! EDIT 1: Added Secret Rares! EDIT 2...

It will almost assuredly be Ultra Prism - on, since Ultra Prism began the USUM block, and it introduced the Prism Stars, a new significant gameplay mechanic (much like how last format was BREAKthrough - on, since that was the first set to introduce BREAKs).

Random fun fact for all the people out there: Zinnia will be the first Trainer card in PTCG history to start with the letter "Z" Also, there has never been a Trainer card that begins with the letter "Y"

The Hydreigon is an exact reprint from Crimson Invasion. Seems they just used this set to give us the remainder of the Japanese mini-set Champion Road that we didn't get in Celestial Storm.

It’s just extremely random - it was a Japanese booster box promo for a set that was released nearly a year ago, and its pre-evolutions aren’t in the set

There’s clearly a mistake in the article, since there are seven listed SRs (#71-77) and the gold Ultra Necrozma was confirmed to be #78
