Day 12’s gift is a pack of Destined Rivals! Today I just pulled out one card, this Shaymin by tono. What stood out to me was the way the Gracidea was centered within the composition, especially since the pink stands out against the soft sea of greens, pinks and whites. It’s almost like Shaymin itself…

Today’s gift is another fun pack, but this time it’s Destined Rivals! Let’s take a look at the three cards we got today: We got Marnie’s Scrafty, with artwork by Kazumasa Yasukuni; Steven’s Carbink, by Ligton; and Team Rocket’s Nidoran ♂, illustrated by buchi. For this set, let’s look at how the backgrounds of card…

Day 10’s gift, once again, is a Journey Together fun pack! Here’s our three cards: Today we have Hop’s Rookidee by Shinya Mizuno, Skwovet by sowsow, and Lombre by Mousho! There’s something to love about all three of these illustrations: Rookidee has some painterly lighting and shading reminiscent of vintage official art; Lombre has a…

Whoops, missed a day! No worries, let’s catch up: Day 8’s gift was a Journey Together fun pack! These packs contain only three cards, so let’s see what we got: We got the wonderfully pleasant Nymble and N’s Klink by Ayako Ozaki and Saboteri respectively, but this is actually my first time seeing this beautiful…

For day 7, our gift in a pack of Paradox Rift! Let’s see our hit… An illustration rare of Iron Jugulis! This card has artwork by GIDORA; Iron Jugulis looks right at home above a neon-lit cityscape. The bright colours contrast great with the dark night sky!

Today’s gift was this sticker sheet! Alongside some snowflake and Poké Balls, there’s a Happy Holidays emblem and some of the Pokémon artwork from the Holiday Calendar’s spread; Eevee, Pikachu, Alcremie, Tinkaton and Audino! Happy Holidays!

Today’s gift was a pack of Temporal Forces! Let’s take a look at some artwork from this set. I picked out these three cards to highlight! First is this Meltan by Taiga Kayama; I love the bubbly style with the soft, rounded shapes of the plants and tree trunk and light, cheerful colours. Second, Turtwig…

Today’s gift is this Delibird card! Originally from Paldea Evolved with artwork by miki kuda, I love this paper cut-out art style! The slight drop shadow ‘layers’ for example between Delibird’s sack and body, combined with the distance blur in the foreground and background, work together to create something that seems both 2D and 3D…

Today we got a pack of Journey Together! Sidenote, I love the cover illustrations for this set, and Lillie’s is my favourite as Clefairy is one of my favourite Pokémon 🙂 No spectacular pulls, but there’s some really nice artwork in this set, and I’ve actually not seen this Komala before! The artwork for this…
