>>37235543I haven't played in a few years, but the cards were still mostly "meh". Basically the same setup as befoe, just with less harsh borders on images (if any), better colours, and just crisper in general.
Only cards that were "full art" like that were the Ex ones, and some specials. Not sure if they're all that way now since I haven't played in so long, but...yeah.
The TCG is BS, though. Every year your deck becomes unusable, because they re-release EVERYTHING every year for tournament legality. So if you're just getting a nice deck together now, it's going to be worthless come January.
