Pokémon TCG: Sword and Shield—Brilliant Stars

Gliscor's fakes: Fourteen cards added (6/25)

Sorry for the lack of updates. Exams can be a kick in the teeth.

Slugma
Iris's Dreams
Last Battle
Thundurus-EX

Some of you might realize that Thundurus-EX is missing that gold outline that all FA EX's have on their card. Since a friend of mine drew this Thundurus and he did not make it intending to be on a FA card (or on a card for that matter), there is no gold line present. And don't nearly have enough patience to sit down and outline Thundurus. So it's not gonna look accurate just because I'm lazy, pretty much.

So yeah, Thundurus is supposed to get rid of giant attackers. The effect of going right back into the hand seems a bit powerful, though, so I might tone it down.
 
The slugma is perfect for a slugma !

Iris's Dreams I am really enjoy and it seems like a great card !

Last Battle is awesome, might not be as useful as some would think but still a great card !

Thundurus EX is almost spot on to what I would expect minus the returning the defending pokemon and all cards attached to the opponents hand...

None the less, I have no idea why you do not have a job yet with the pokemon company making cards, you are brilliant at it !!!

P.S. if you take requests I would love to see a Full Art Emolga !
 
For 'The Last Battle' I would take out the first sentence. My reasoning is, if you look at 'Twins' or 'Black Belt' it doesn't say 'Count the amount of prize cards...' it just says 'If you have more remaining prize card than your opponent...'. Just a helpful hint.
 
I think you could balance the return with an energy sacrifice - if you return the defending pokemon, shuffle 2 energy attached to thundurus into your deck. This would keep him from just running through an opponent, but would allow you to still constantly attack if you could stream DCE's onto him.

Making Thundurus EX have to shuffle 2 energy into the deck for the effect would turn a card that's playable/competitive in our current format into garbage. Please don't do that.

I'm sorry, throwing your opponents powered up attacker away in exchange for your attach for the turn is nothing. You can repower that with a DCE instantly, or pull some Electrik shenanagins that are already common in this format. I'm not suggesting discarding the energy, as per Tornadus. That DCE you just shuffled away is still in your deck, unable to be lost removered. Combine that with hitting for 100 already, and you have a card that's overpowered in its current state. 100 for 3 with a bonus vs 100 for 3 with a drawback (and that's on a card so playable that it's in almost every deck). Think about that for a moment, please.
 
I think thundurus should do 80 and shuffle 2 energy into the opponents deck. The 80 damage would work, becuase, when used in conjunction with its ability, can still 2HKO bulky EX's, but at the cost of 20 damage to all of your pokemon. Apart from the OP thundy, brilliant cards as usuall (like the thundurus and the final battle art alot ;))
 
I have an update coming to Thundurus pretty soon. I followed ShuckleLVX's idea of having two Energy shuffled back into the deck to limit Thundurus' power.

Anyways, special update:

Giratina
Serperior
Ho-Oh

I've been working on custom blanks for a very long time now, and hopefully I can make a fake set out of them in the fall or winter. I'm mainly looking for critique based on looks, but I guess critique's on playability helps too.
 
T1 80 to an EX? IMO, that would just be broken with Catcher, especially because it only requires a Colorless.
What do you do with the cards you don't discard with Alakazam?
I really like the Gengar.
It would be awesome to have a PlayTCG tournament with these using their legal counterparts as Proxies, just because the set is so balanced with no cards that just destroy everything like Mewtwo-EX and Darkrai-EX.
