Full art cards are also entirely holographic, adding to their aesthetic appeal, popularity, and value
If you read yesterday's review of Swirlix, you'll know that I thought that card was a below average Basic Pokemon card, mainly because the only damage it could do required two energy cards instead of one, because other than that the card had a decent HP, low retreat cost, and two moves
While I still have some reservations, I find the D&D crossovers a lot easier to reconcile with Magics aesthetic (as I likely will with the Lord of the Rings set, and I am sure I would have were this set of precons focused on Warhammer Fantasy Battles, or even Age of Sigmar)
We are in the post-lockdown boom era of trading cards, with Pokmon collectability still looming large in popular consciousness
