Alakazam ex Special Illustration Rare #201
What a spectacular card from Shinya Komatsu, who has been knocking it out of the park since Brilliant Stars’ wonderful Octillery Trainer Gallery image. Then came Astral Radiance’s hilarious Machamp V alt art, Crown Zenith’s Magnezone factory, Scarlet & Violet Base’s amazing Clauncher IR, and now this meticulously detailed Alakazam. (And it continues—Paradox Rift has the most amazing garbage heap depiction of Garbodor.)
I still think it’s a shame Alakazam was chosen for the ex special, given that 151 marked the triumphant return of Kadabra. (Uri Geller’s still not speaking to me, since I challenged him to astral project into my study to read a number I wrote on a piece of paper.) It’d have been nice to see the uni-spoonular monster getting his dues. Still, this SIR is proving amazingly popular, currently costing $37.50
