The Golduck Break basically confirms Max Potion and Palkia-EX. I need to get my printer ready to play with these.

Well, no guarantee that they're actually good…I'm hoping Garchomp will be playable, because that thing can recycle STRONG ENERGIES! HeLLOOO Speed Maxie's Groudon/Garchomp (Maxie's GG).
 
Given the 11 EX slots, and the 8 already occupied, we are likely getting Palkia EX, Togekiss EX, and Emboar EX
 
So glad it isn't getting the "Overpriced Box" treatment. They need to pack these sets with cards or just use up some promos as a League Promo. Finally, a step in the right direction.
 
Am I the only one who noticed that the mega gyarados has a non shiny gyarados where it says what Pokemon to evolve it from? Hinting towards a new gyarados ex non shiny in the future? Probably not... :(

I always sort of thought that Mega Gyarados looked like someone transplanted Gyara's face (not even his head) onto a shrimp and shiny M Gyarados makes it worse by being the color of a shrimp. Also dissapointed by the way they handled it in this set; I dig that red Gyarados is cool, but it doesn't seem to be a choice they made for any reason. Maybe if the 'narrative' had been more fleshed out for this set, like they are for Magic, it could have made sense.

Also, what was the context of that Energy Reset card? I have plans for it, can't remember what it's getting released in.

I don't think that will happen. I don't know if that has ever happened with any supporter full art that they came out in English before japan.

I'm sure you understood by "card advantage" I meant in comparison with your opponent's hand. If you believe that starting your first turn with 1 card is fair and makes you enjoy the game more, I'm fine with it.

Ace Trainer gives you card advantage in comparison to your opponent's hand, and it's far from overpowered. You're making generalizations that don't apply.
 
From a distance, the font looks really similar to the HGSS pack text. As weird as it sounds, that's actually my favorite part about the look of these.
 
Oh my, this looks cool! Mega Shiny Gyarados looks really fat though and Luxray's eyes, I am getting nightmares...
 
I love how all of Scizor's artwork seems to hint at the bug typing that isn't represented by the card typing
