    “Charizard ex Premium Collection” in October!

    Perfect, wonderful even. I finally snag the chase card of a set in a Prerelease and they're making a promo of it that looks virtually the same. So much for staying over $100 for long after the set releases.

    McDonald’s 2023 Pokemon TCG Promotion Starts in August: First Cards Revealed!

    Finally, a reason to get Happy Meals again

    All 33 “Ruler of the Black Flame” Secret Rares!

    Gold Artazon is nice, but only 3 alt art ex's?

    Ninetales Illustration Rare from “Ruler of the Black Flame!”

    It's not a bad art, I just feel like the photo doesn't do it justice.

    Scovillain ex, Moonlight Hill, and Other Gym Promos Revealed for July!

    Scovillain ex looks at least a little decent. Being able to disrupt a hand and get your opponent to potentially draw into a dead card is not bad. Damage output could be better, but you're still 2HKOing VSTARs and some ex's.

    Full Art Eiscue ex from “Ruler of the Black Flame!”

    Same as expected. If people were expecting different, I have no clue what you were expecting.

    All 108 “Ruler of the Black Flame” Cards Revealed!

    Thunderous is a worse Manaphy and Lechonk 70HP has cool art. That's all, nothing super big out of this set

    “ex Battle Decks” Featuring Kangaskhan ex and Greninja ex Revealed for October!

    I love Greninja, and I think Greninja ex has potential, but it likely won't see much play, at least until standard slows back down. Honestly, until Lost Box leaves standard, it likely will stay in the 2-3 turn early game before people start dealing damage.

    Full Art Ortega from “Ruler of the Black Flame!”

    Mid card, neat art. Kind of a theme with Scarlet and Violet series cards.

    Bellossom Line from “Ruler of the Black Flame!”

    Let's just say there's a reason that before Crown Zenith, Bellossom didn't have a printing since XY. I don't know what that reason is, but it never had an intriguing print.

    “Paradox Rift,” November’s English Set!

    Walking Wake and Iron Leaves are the first mythical Pokemon of gen 9 and you can't convince me otherwise. Also Gholdengo is yet another amazingly designed Pokemon (ignore the shiny)

    Palafin Illustration Rare and Other Cards Revealed from “Obsidian Flames!”

    Hard pass on Klawf. Should've made Finizen's first attack instead into an ability that lets you search for a Palafin and evolve it or put it into your hand, though maybe a little unbalanced that way? Palafin is another absolute banger Gen 9 pokemon, such a goofy and cartoonist pokemon, I love...

    Houndoom, Houndour from “Ruler of the Black Flame!”

    No, no no no no no, I can't use this, but I've challenged myself to collect every single printing of Houndoom... This gets a going in the bulk box out of 10.

    Eevee, Espeon, Umbreon from “Ruler of the Black Flame!”

    But Rhyperior can't learn that move

    Eevee, Espeon, Umbreon from “Ruler of the Black Flame!”

    It's a shame that Eevee is the most useful one out of the bunch, can see it being used in GLC, but the others have sooo little going for them.

    “Scarlet & Violet – 151” To Feature Galaxy Holofoil Energy!

    I'll take 10 of each please.

    Illustration Rares, Pidgeot ex, and More Revealed from “Ruler of the Black Flame!”

    Time for an extremely quick synopsis. Scovillain and Toxtricity is obvious combo, ashame they're both Stage 1, seems a little clunky. Nice with Hoopa V supporting it as well. Glimmora: See previous page revealing Charizard ex alt art in English. Togekiss: hmm... Stage 2 draw "support" without...

    Town Department Store from “Ruler of the Black Flame!”

    It's fine. Nothing too great, but tool search really doesn't exist outside of Arven, so the more the merrier.

    Charizard ex Special Illustration Rare and More “Obsidian Flames” Cards Revealed!

    As it is my first time seeing all of these, time to give my competitive thoughts. Glimmora ex has REALLY good counterplay against Lost Box. Limiting them to 2 Comfey, Radiant Greninja, and either a third Comfey, Manaphy, or sweeper hinders them a lot. Scizor also can be a good Lost Box...
