Sealed Saturday

Featuring Roaring Skies from 2015.

This set was hard to move when it released.

And Shaymin was the Grail card of the set.

Now it fetches crazy prices.

And now Shaymin falls behind Mega Rayquaza.

How’s a booster box doing these days?

Skyrocketed in the past year.

This is basically XY’s Evolving Skies, except it wasn’t popular on release.

I attempted to find a Roaring Skies master set for sale but I can’t see any from this year. Last year, a master set was going anywhere between $1000-$1500AUD.

The top dog back then in the competitive scene was Shaymin EX. This apparently was the only reason the set experienced a reprint.

The competitive advantage this card had was huge. You play this card when you are low on cards in your hand. Draw cards until you are holding 6. When attacking with Shaymin EX, it does damage and then returns to your hand allowing you to start the whole process again.

Since the competitive scene for this card has since been updated and this card has rotated out, these days things aren’t looking as great as they once were.

The top dog of today, though:

None other than Mega Rayquaza.

And he is just skyrocketing like the Roaring Skies booster box.

Did Deoxys enter the atmosphere? 🤔

That’s a wrap!
