    There's a dragon and pretty much nothing else. maybe a spookyghost I didn't write about. Some Buzzwole "checks" too. Also there's a set review. It should be up there ^ soon. Go read it.

    From a collecting only POV I like a few of these cards. Rayquaza GX and Electrode GX look cool.

    For other cards in that set, not mentioned here, I'm not sure about the Scyther art, either it's average or I quite like it. Will come back to it!
     
    Set has been around a few weeks now. People have been testing and playing it at league cups.

    Best cards in the set right now imo are:

    Shine of Punishment
    Rayquaza GX
    Magcargo
    Banette GX
    Shiftry GX
    Copycat
    Stakataka GX
    Friend Ball

    Sceptile is fun, but hasnt made a splash, same with both Swampert and Ludicolo. Post rotation I expect all three will see play as rogue decks utilising the incredible shrine of punishment.

    Scizor GX and Blaziken GX suffer from the same issue of both being statistically good cards that are in need of better support (Blaziken GX gets babykin sometime soon and Magcargo GX to significantly help it, right now it only really has Alolan Marowak).

    Apricot maker and Heatran both have promise. Heatran could be ace in Dusky decks, Celesteela decks or even Scizor decks down the line. Apricot Maker will be played in some decks between the loss of Brigette and the onset of Elm

    I kinda agree the only real playable cards from what I've seen at this point is the Rayquaza GX that I cant spell.
