I was looking through the MD card list to find Starly and Staravia, but no Staraptor? Why is this? I personally think it makes Starly and Staravia much less useful cards.
Where's Staraptor?
- Thread starter Ranger7722
- Start date
I think the Staravia is a decent card for a Stage 1, but you are right. Hope not to pull these at the PR!
Staraptor wasn't a promo, in the entry pack 08, or in the left out cards from GE. That's why there isn't staraptor in MD.
^Indeed. There are alot of cards in this set that don't have a final stage with them, like the drifloon, lickitung, buneary, combee ect.
They just do that to fill the set to a nice number of 100 cards. Remember MD is more or less a filler set. But it's still better than GE if you ask me.
A lot of useless cards, but it's got all Eeveelutions!!!

What is it that makes MD a filler set?
Just curious.

I think it's because 90% of the set is promos from Japan
because of that, 25% of the lines are incomplete
50% of the LV Xs don't even have one part of it's evo chain there
and the fact that mom's kindness is in the set as the ONLY supporter
So what would be a better example of an actual set?

Yup you're right. I guess there are lots of cards like this in the set.
Oh well. At least trying to collect the whole set is still fun.

There are 2 Supporters in the set, not 1. Mom's Kindness & Fossil Excavator...

Ya, but most of those cards have their evolutions in previous DP sets, so it's like of giving you more options, while having an incomplete evolutionary line is just plain annoying.
But look on the bright side! When they print the complete staraptor line, you'll have more options!

umm... they already printed staraptor... I think... It was in DP...
Well, you all shouldn't be worrying much. The next DP set shouldn't be a filler set like this because we already got all the cards we missed.
Ranger7722: as you know, english sets are about 100 cards, more or less. And jap sets have about 130 cards. So we've been missing cards from the japanese DP3 and DP4{in case you haven't known, garchomp lv.x was suppose to be out by DP3.} So the main purpose of MD is to get back the cards we missed. And we missed around 60 cards. 100-60=40. That makes 40 spaces to fill in. And they filled it in with cards that have nothing to do with the evo line. Take shellios for example. And reprints. Like fossil excavator.
