I’m really enjoying how artists are experimenting with the obligatory color palette of the tera-type Pokémon for these SIRs. Yuriko Akase takes things in a very pastel direction, and it’s so effective.

The card itself is part of the current meta of requiring multiple color energies to deliver mighty attacks, but bloody hell, this card is ridiculous. A 150 attack AND you can attach any number of energy cards to any of your Pokémon! Sorry for the italics, but good grief, because that’s the minor attack. Swinging Sphene then gives you a 50:50 chance to knock out your opponent’s active Pokémon (albeit Basics only), and even if it misses you knock out one on the bench!

Sorry, I’ve got to go build an Exeggutor deck immediately. Uh, the card’s currently $51
