Surprisingly, similar to Japan, Marnie and Steven will be getting their own decks in English called the “Rival Battle Decks!” They will release on May 16th. Each deck will contain 60 cards and the usual theme deck accessories.

Ok this was definitely a swerve. But I guess the Rocket set is gonna be big enough to combine with Heat Wave Arena to form Destined Rivals

These will definitely be sought after for the wrong reasons because of those IRs, especially Marnie

This actually confirms that these cards will be in Destined Rivals, because if you look closely they all have the set symbol for Destined Rivals (DES) and the number they are of the total set number (182). The IRs are promos though.

Oh cool didn't notice that. But yeah the IRs were expected to be part of the set too, guess not. Looks like these will be some of the best selling theme decks in recent memory lol especially since the Marnie one is already hard to get in Japan
 
These are awesome. The decks are solid starting points for new or returning players or players who want a cheap deck with clear paths for upgrading and sweet full arts, with a low chance of the decks getting price-gouged. The only real issue I have with these is now Arven, which should be in every starter deck moving forward, but they shouldn't be too hard to obtain. Excellent stuff!
 
Looks like some Destined rivals cards are getting released b4 their primary set street date, not to mention, during prerelease weekends starting May 16th, no less?

OK.

Choice:

Do you want a card with a meta chance(Steven's metagross) guaranteed right then, or a chance at the obvious winner(Cynthia's garchomp) that's not guaranteed?

The set code actually appears to be DRI.
 
Are these the same list as the decks from Japan? Are we REALLY getting closer to 1:1 Japan:tpci ?! Also …FINALLY decks need more than an alt regular ex to SELL THEM and this is a fantastic step in the right direction for once and not just tons wasted cardboard to stay on shelves/pegs not selling forever (because I still see V battle decks out on shelves that NEVER moved) 😮‍💨
