Boss’s Orders
Sure, Boss’s Orders isn’t exactly a card people usually get excited about. It’s a stalwart of the TCG, the classic dick move of entirely upsetting your opponent’s plans by switching in that benched Horsea instead of the VMAX that was demolishing your team. But it’s not often given the full art treatment (outside of promos, not since Rebel Clash), and this is certainly its first Special Illustration Rare.
But it’s here because it just looks so damn cool! It’s Ghetsis from Black & White, the big bad behind Team Plasma. Why a B&W boss, and not someone from SV’s Team Star? None can know the mercurial minds of The Pokémon Company. But look at him! Plotting there, in front of his charts and maps, and, err, chess pieces. He has evil in the works. And those works are pissing off your opponent next turn.
