Favorite modern set/sets

Shiny Star V and Brilliant Stars

Vmax Climax hands down. I loved all the chrs and csrs from the set.

I’m excited to see all the art rares and special art rare for Vstar Universe.

Ancient Origins is probably my favourite ‘modern’ English set; opening those packs when they came out got me back into cards!

The Japanese modern sets are pretty solid. I definitely agree that I enjoy sets with an identity. I quite enjoyed the Legends Arceus/ Diamond and Pearl sets. Having entire sets dedicated to various aspects of gen 4 is a dream come true for me. I think these sets truly shine with their commons and uncommons. S9 is probably my favourite, but i have S10D, S10P and S11 all in that same binder and even though im missing 98% of the chase cards, i still love flipping through it just to see the art. S10 is great and so is S9a (the legends arceus cards :pinched_fingers:). Was going to take a few pics of my favs, then ended up taking like 15 :sob:

Great topic! As far as set theme I actually like X & Y Steam Siege - there are a lot of industrial/urban backgrounds and depictions in the art work, and also many of the more mechanically designed Pokemon featured in the set. The BREAK cards I think are what drag this set down, as they are not highly looked upon, and I also do not care for them much.

For more modern sets, I really like Chilling Reign and Darkness Ablaze. Someone else had mentioned the winter theme for Chilling Reign, and several cards have snow/ice art which I am very biased towards. Darkness Ablaze just happened to have some of my favorite art in it, including Lugia who went missing for awhile in the TCG!
