Pokemon Trading Card Game Classic decks revealed

The entire decks for the Pokemon Trading Card Classic game were revealed at Worlds.

Big shout out to Pokebeach for delivering the goods.

Japan receives cooler cards.

It seems that every card will have this new foil pattern.

The only cards in this set legal for tournament use are the energy cards.

Modern Monday

Featuring Magikarp from Paldea Evolved.

Who would’ve thought Magikarp would be the most popular Pokemon in a set?

It’s all thanks to its illustrator; Shinji Kanda.

That’s not something you see often after release.

A steady line, a huge price increase, then back down but still higher than the initial going price.

It’s a beautiful illustration, no wonder the price is high. There’s just so much colour and detail in the illustration.

Everyone just loves this Magikarp card.

Even you.

Don’t lie.

That’s a wrap!

I hope you enjoyed the 95th edition.
