>>52955178, though I'm also a big fan of radiants. (I'm glad they're so cheap, well all of them except the Charizard, so I can collect them all.)
>these cards have too much going onYes, that's for sure. The Tera (Terastallizing or whatever they call the new gimmick) exs, like the leaked Arcanine, are only going to be more over the top IMO. I like how the Pokémon look like they're made out of Swarovski crystal, but those hats... they are really too, too much.
>I was hoping they'd be less ridiculous and power creeped, but maybe that's just me.The power creep is out of this world. I don't play the game much, except the PTCGO from time to time, but I've seen it and damn, for only 2 prize cards, they're really strong.
>That's why sets like Evolutions and Shining Legends feel more special to me honestlyBased, Shining Legends was and still is a really cool set, I loved the Shining cards (and promos), but unfortunately they didn't look much like the original ones, that old Shining holofoil is just astonishing. I liked Evolutions when it just came out, but in retrospect, they really fucked up the card lay-out. The holofoil was amazing though.
