>>54077396Why? What makes this 99% so bad? And since when does anyone fucking care about the 99% bulk? How many times have you heard people talk about what a great selection of commons Evolving Skies has. Or how lackluster Shining Fate's bulk is? No, people talk about the pulls. That 1% is the only thing people care about. Sure you can appreciate the commons, but they don't fucking make or break a set. Hell, even the exs look pretty solid to me this set.
Now, as I said, if you want to cite the meta viability of cards I completely understand that. But this is the collector's general, not the tcg general. And whether it's other players at a local tourney or collectors online it seems like everyone has universally agreed this set is dead on arrival and I feel like I'm taking crazy pills because we have no idea what the sought after cards are and no one has given me an actual fucking reason to be critical from a collector's standpoint. It seems like everyone just sees the Kanto lizard and then claims the set is bad because it's... JUST BAD OKAY to justify their cynicism.
>>54077412For some reason they got 151 first and Ruler of the Black Flame only releases before we get it.
