Investment Thesis The Expedition set is a high-conviction investment due to its historical significance, iconic card selection, and low reprint risk, making it a valuable long-term asset
If a player manages to destroy their opponents six Shield cards and then deal damage to the opponent directly, they win the game
Let's take a look at each of them
With all your spells so cheap it is quite easy to get very far ahead in the first few turns, this in turn puts so much pressure on your opponent that they are forced into playing very differently which will often still gift you the game later on
NOTES/TIPS (please read before using): Download the symbol sheet here (use this for Energy Costs, Weakness, and Resistance) Turn off the "Stage 2 Tail" and "Stage Bar (Bottom)" layers on Stage 1 cards Select all 1s, if any, in the HP and change the kerning (in the Character Panel) to Optical When lowering the Retreat Cost, cut/delete symbols from the right side Be sure to invert the Shadow layer , div lines, Retreat minus sign, and rarity and make the black text white for Darkness-Type cards Inverting the Shadow layer is optional (Japanese Darkness shadows were inverted, but the English ones were black) Pokmon Power name colors: red #ff0000 for everything except Fire/Psychic (blue #111ea1) and Darkness (yellow #ffdc1a) Use a Multiply blending mode for Water, Psychic, and Metal If the card name is too long, decrease the horizontal scale (in the Character Panel) until it fits When the evolution text overlaps, change the horizontal scale of each of the two textboxes by equal decrements until there's a gap between them (enough space to type "HI" in front of the Evolution rule) If the gap is wider than that, increase the horizontal scale of the type in each textbox (don't exceed 99%) After finalizing the illustrator credit and set number, drag the corners of the Copyright textbox (with the Type Tool) to touch the inner ends of each to center it between them If you have to widen the textbox of a Pokmon Power (or an attack that doesn't have the damage displayed next to it) to make room for long effects, expand the edges (only the right edge for attacks) of the textbox to align with the outer edges of the art frame If you still need room, expand the right edge to align with the right edge of the Evolution Rule textbox (don't expand the left edge past the outer art frame) If an attack only requires 1 Energy, center the Energy Cost with the bottom Energy of the placeholder Turn off the "-30" text layer if the card has no Resistance Let me know if I should add anything else to this list or if you have any questions
