Not trying to derail the post, but my god the new friendly card shop Sowsow promo and Galarian Slowking V! How do they expect to stabilize supply while releasing such amazing products and artworks?
Just release a couple of sets with nothing but 5ban and Planeta illustrations and I’m sure the supply issues will be gone in no time.
I hope the eevees wont have the artstyle of Hidden fates where they were lazy just copying the same art from the RRs only changing some colours to make them look like Shinys
We are in year 2 (Year 1 is finished!) of Sword & Shield TCG now and S5 Rapid / Single Strike Master (and even S4…) did not reveal any Amazing Rares.
Amazing Rares seem to be a thing for year 1, more intended to be a one-off special to Legendary Heartbeat. Amazing Rares are similar to Shining Cards from Shining Legends, they are a similar set after all, even released in the same timeslot (summer of the first year of the TCG generation).
From what I see: It was sort of an ‘bonus’ that they included Kyogre, Yveltal and Reshiram in Shiny Star V / Shining Fates, to close off year 1. That’s what High Class Pack sets are meant for, throw in all the crazy stuff and close off the TCG year in Japan and continue to the next TCG year (new theme).
If I were you, I would keep your expectations very low. It’s very unlikely at this stage to see new Amazing Rare cards. You should be stunned if they would return it in year 2. VSTAR also got trademarked back in November, that could be their new type of new rarity card / successor to Prism Star cards. Time will tell.
