I'm glad to see the decks are about Glaceon and Leafeon. Last theme decks (starting with Dark Explorers 50/50: Cofag's was awesome, but Zoroark's started a chain of terrible theme decks as a stand-alone (the decks did have some nice cards for competitive decks of course, like Blastoise. But as a stand-alone, they were badly built, and I'm basing this on what's expected from theme decks, of course)).
I simply care about that as I love playing theme deck duels in TCGO.
Anyway, the reason I think this, is because the mentioned theme decks were based on "special" Pokemon (Zoroark, Kyurems, Giratina, and the new Dragon-type). Basically, sell the theme decks on hype alone, not on contents. Sometimes shift a good card in (like Blastoise), and they keep everyone's attention.
Of course, I could be very wrong for 2 reasons:
1. Glaceon and Leafeon could be seen as special due to Sylveon and/or Team Plasma cards still being relatively new then (only the 2nd set).
2. Zekrom's and Reshiram's theme decks were of awesome quality for theme decks, perhaps even among the best.

Leafeon and Glaceon? Dang, it's like Majestic Dawn all over again. Yet doesn't Glaceon far outshine Leafeon in this set?
The pack arts are pretty interesting as well, though. I'm loving that Deoxys. (obviously.)
There's a bigger difference between this set's Giratina and Druddigon, than next set's Glaceon and Leafeon.
