To offer this kind of card as a promotional product for LGSs rather than a Secret Lair feels like real, critical support that gets people out in the community and maybe inspire more Standard players

#5 This set has been a lot of fun to rip - it did seem considerably harder to pull initially in my first 100 packs I had a 25% hit rate including EX and without them around 11% but by the end of the next 100 it had balanced back out to about 38% with EX and 25% without // so it seems like maybe I should call it quits on ripping while I am apparently doing better than official numbers - I love that this set was a bit smaller as now I only have about 30 more cards needed to finish the set and now I dont have so so so much bulk to deal with ripping where as with Paradox being SO HUGE I ripped double what I did for this set and still need almost double what I need for this set @Yaginku makes a good point about Ace Specs potentially being set specific - they have definitely been tougher to pull than the EX cards - it will be interesting to see if they just slap them in every other set moving forward, print us non-holo deck exclusive versions of prime catcher / master ball just to make them have an accessible version, or if they will remain as Temporal Forces exclusive- I also would love and be fully surprised if they did a Gold Version/HRs of these Ace Specs in future sets because both of these tools feel like candidates for HRs historically It is definitely a progression for this block and Im looking forward to see what happens next with the Ace Specs in coming sets - it will be interesting to see if they will only be in the next few sets and then we move on again or if they will continue to make these new tools for the next 2-3 years Last edited: #6 As stupid as those people are I don't think they're responsible

ST10 The Three Captains Verdict : As the other Ultimate deck in the One Piece Card Game, its unsurprising that this sealed box is also stuffed full of competitively-viable cards
Unfortunately, having spent the previous three days attending Belgiums Crossbone pop punk festival attempting my own world record for beer consumption (gotta drink em all!), I wasnt quite as awed by the mosaic as perhaps others wandering around its lengthy perimeter were
for example, an attack that has one Fire symbol requires your active Pokmon to have at least one Fire Energy attached to it
