Sceptile from XY5, New Card Design [11/9]
- Thread starter Water Pokémon Master
- Start date
Finally some new artworks, I have waited long for this!
Finally, the design looks very nice. But I do hope not everything will be digital-made. I do prefer the drawn cards. It's still a cool new feature though..
Looks great.
Hopefully the set has Gardevoir and Aggron Full Arts like previous sets or I won't have any reason to collect the set since the full arts are the only reason I started collecting Pokemon again.
Hmmmm potential, please?
Give us playable Stage 2's consistently plssssss
Ugh, a huge reason why I stopped collecting was the weird, constantly-changing mechanics. It looks interesting, I'll admit, but I can't help but feel like Pokémon becomes more and more like any other generic card game when they add things like this -- designs/mechanics created largely to look cool and edgy.

I honestly don't think this is a new mechanic, just the new "Secret Rare" card that is replacing the golden stage 2's we got in Boundaries Crossed-Plasma Blast
I was thinking of something a little different that could be happening with this. Since Sceptile can Mega Evolve and the hexagon shape around it is obviously colored like the mega symbol, the special power could be searching for Mega Sceptile and putting it on. This seems pretty unlikely though, because a Mega on a Stage 2 would be ridiculous to set up. Another more obvious idea was that these new cards are going to be really powerful for non-EX standards, but not good enough to warrant 2 prizes, so the rarity is going to be like the Flare cards where they have no reverse foil, thus being somewhat hard to get.
Personally, i like this new design, it fits the theme perfectly and it looks good too. My only complaint in that is doesnt have an ability(not including the barrier thing) This means it probably wont see any competitive play but just maybe it has decent attacks. No matter what it is I just want this to continue as it looks really good.
