Great list! My top 10 cards would be: 10. Gastrodon by Scav 9. Armarouge by DOM 8. Exeggutor by Oswaldo KATO 7. Mankey by Apios 6. Volcarona by matazo 5. Bouffalant by Anesaki Dynamic 4. Eternatus by AKIRA EGAWA 3. Paldean Tauros (water) by toi8 2. Mesprit AR by Hyogonosuke 1. Primeape by Felicia Chen
Lovely selection! For me the best recent set that had art I liked the most were Future Flash and Ancient Roar Regular Top 5 1. Blitzle - Going to be collecting the artist master set style (Only currently doing this with Kuroimori) Amazing tones and painting style. First artist I've seen in the TCG that I was already following on Twitter pre pokemon commission work 2. Volcarona - an fully realized piece of art, love the shift from hot to cold tones and literal temperature 3. Scattebug - flora and a superclean style, shows scale and weakness of weak lil fella, I just love it 4. Keckleon - a strong piece that appeals to me in how it looks like an organized mess. One of Kanda's stronger pieces imo 5. Paldean Tauros (Water) - not a fan of the artist's other arts, but the inclusion of pretty black lines of various weights really elevates this piece for me AR 1. Slakoth - not a fan of the artist or the Pokemon but this card just spoke to me (I am a lazy daydreamer) 2. Feebas - Kuroimori, connecting piece, gorgeous plants 3. Ceruledge - thick lines, beautiful fat strokes of popping color on an appealing Pokemon SAR 1. Milotic - just beautiful. love how KM used a wide color palette for this piece which set it apart from the Gardevoir SAR which stuck to mostly blue silver and white shades. 2. Hydreigon - reminds me of the Shiny Milotic card from way back when because of the clouds. Has a beautiful background unlike most Tera SARs, a very strong hit from Egawa who excels at making the gem facet texture on tera pokemon The rest of the SARs were decent but nothing special for me
All worthy choices. I can't get behind the Slakoth, but that's ok, because we all have different tastes. I might be persuaded about EGAWA's Hydreigon if I saw it in person.
@@saturninebearAppreciate it, and very true. I've seen a lot of images on Ebay and some videos (not the best quality) of it being pulled and it looks solid. Most cards don't capture me until I have them in hand. This was a rare exception. Waiting for the price to drop before I get a copy for myself
The Milotic is amazing! As soon as I saw it I knew it was going to be my chase card for the set
it is incredibly special.
