Obsidian Flames: Grass Type Card List and Translations

Leave a comment

Paldea Evolved was an amazing set with beautiful and powerful cards. If you are a collector or trying to start your collection, Paldea Evolved is a great place to start. I can’t speak on the monetary value of the set, but the cards are so pretty. Paldea also brought a lot of fun decks to the standard worth trying out. I’m working towards a Noivern Deck because I pulled the Ultra Rare.

Look at how pretty it is!

But since it is the beginning of July, it is a good time to get ready for the upcoming set, Obsidian Flames. Obsidian Flames releases on August 11, so make sure you put in your preorders at your LGS or TGC Player if you don’t have one.

To prepare, I thought it is a cool idea to go through the set list, starting with the green cards and their translations. If this is something you’d like to continue seeing, make sure you like, comment, subscribe, and share this with your friends.

Man this set is so cute! There are some cool looking cards, and some cards I will probably end up playing with. Let me know what you think about the set so far. I’ll be back with the red cards as soon as I can. Don’t forget to like, comment, subscribe, and share this with all your friends.

Pokemon 151 set list revealed!

Leave a comment

Pokemon has officially announced the complete card list for their upcoming Pokemon 151 set releasing in Japan on June 16th. The Western release is scheduled for September 22nd, so make sure you start saving up now! This set is simply beautiful. The regular set is nice, but the alt arts are amazing! The set will feature the original 151 Pokemon, including Kadabra which hasn’t been available in a card for 20 years. There are 165 cards in this set with a few alt arts to pad it out. I will have to try my hardest not to collect them all. I don’t normally buy Pokemon cards, but I might have to snag a couple of packs on my trip to Japan for the nostalgia.
