The number of meta-relevant cards in The Obsidian Flames is lower than in other releases. Additionally, the Paldea Evolved collection had a lot more Secret Illustration Rare and Illustration Rare cards, which may affect how popular the set is as a whole.

The Tera ex card variations will add a fresh element to the game with exciting new dynamic for the tabletop game and stunning new artwork and a subtle connection to the Scarlet & Violet video game. Follow Gaminstants for the latest Pokémon news!
