(1) First 14 'Plasma Blast' Card Images Revealed! [6/19]

Suddenly excited. I'm looking forward to this set even more now that I know I'm not going to anymore tournaments this season. New cards clearly aren't getting any less powerful unfortunately, but hopefully things will feel at least be somewhat fresher with this new set. Then again...it could be even worse, hah. Also a side note...them EXs lookin' beautiful.

Froslass looks OP, its a STAGE 1. If it was a stage 2 this would be fine. Bye bye TDK I loved and will miss you dearly
Lol, don't start jumping to conclusions. Unless you really wanna play a 2-2 Froslass line in every single one of your decks. I've never seen the card before though, what Japanese set is it from?
 
Team Plasma Pokemon... Haxorus will slay them all! I wonder how many people will run a Haxorus deck now. :^/
 
That Haxorus is incredibly manly, just putting that out there.

...That Drifblim is amazing. PlasmaBox will no longer have its way with the metagame.

And I am quite pleased the attack name "Megalo Cannon" was retained. The last set kinda messed it up.

Oh wait a minute. I read it more closely and it says "as long as this pokemon is your active Pokemon", yeah good luck with that. It only does 30 damage so yeah....
 
Same thing with Drifblim. Getting a Stage 1 out is hard enough, but it can be easily KO'd by pretty much anything in Plasma. Cool, but not worth it.

Still completely in love with Virizion EX though. Finally puts some kind of nerf on Hypnotoxic Laser and makes Genesect a force to be reckoned with because most decks can't OHKO nowadays without the use of Hypno.

Prize trade, my friend. In addition to attacking for free and denying a Special Energy, Derail+Laser+Virbank gets rid of a Deoxys for you. I would not be so quick to discount it.
 
Dat Virizion...

As a collector, I'm rather glad this set is so small. Going after, say, Boundaries Crossed has been a nightmare. And these cards all look very pretty!
 
Virizion-EX is gorgeous. Wow, such a beautiful card. I'm looking forward to seeing how well Virizion-EX/Genesect-EX fares. I kinda wanna build a Drifblim deck...

Keeping Genesect-EX's attack name as Megalo Cannon is pretty cool, though I guess that's what I expected them to do...

What I'm really thrilled about is the fact that lately we've been getting these huuuuge resolution images when they reveal cards. For an artist like me who likes to study all of the little details in the art (and the actual card itself) that's a big deal. Hopefully this is a trend that will continue. Though it makes me wonder: how large does Pokémon card artwork have to be to be fit for a card, and at what size do they work on these things? Is the size of the images they're putting out now the actual size used when they work on the cards, or is it much larger? 2000 pixels? 4000? So large my computer couldn't handle it? It's something I'd like to know since I want to get into that business, but that's probably information they wouldn't give out easily...?
