Unfortunately these cards probably won’t see too much play, flutter mane’s ability and attack just isn’t quite good enough and tyranitar’s first attack is way to risky and inconsistent for a meta deck.
 
But you could use flutter mane to attach to using Sada’s vitality and to help in certain matchups and use iron leaves to take the energy off them and have a consistent attack that is good into Zard, and use iron crowns to boost the damage.
 
I'm extremely surprised Takumi Wada is illustrating another Art Rare! I thought the Aegislash was a one-off treat from a guest artist as a cute zelda nod. Maybe his Online Illustration Exhibition cards were so popular that they god them on full time! This is a very VERY welcome surprise.

The Iron Thorns is cool but definitely overshadowed a little by the Flutter Mane, the background work is gorgeous but Iron Thorns do just be standing there.... menacingly. It's the first Art Rare from illustrator Tonji Matsuno, who debuted in Obsidian Flames/RotBF, so I'm looking forward to see what this illustrator cooks up in the future.
