Oh man, Zoroark is in a theme deck? That's interesting, he's one of the best cards in the set!
 
^Same pic was on T&T hours ago... Beach isn't the only source of info on the net you know...

TCIP really seem terrible compared to the Japanese when it comes to naming sets why couldn't they call it something like "Dark Avengers" or "Dark Allegiance ". Even "Dark Sqaudron" would have sounded better.

If you clicked the source link, you would have found the image right there. http://images.trollandtoad.com/products/pictures/333243.jpg

Anyways, here's the blurb:

What’s out there in the darkness, waiting to be discovered? Play the Pokemon Trading Card Game: Black and White – Dark Explorers expansion and find them all! In addition to more Pokemon-EX like Tornadus-EX, Raikou-EX, and Groudon-EX, the shadows are filled with other exceptional surprises, like Darkrai-EX and a host of Trainer cards that will knock your opponent’s lights out! When you play Black & White – Dark Explorers, you’ll not only explore the darkness, you’ll rule it!

Because those names don't have "EX" in them.
 
I demand that Battle Strength Decks Lillipup be added to this set to go with the other three cards from Lillipup's family. :p
 
Personally I don't mind the name, kinda reminds me of Pokemon Mysterious Dungeon. And it's not bad if you consider some of the past names...

Take a good look at the image in the link.

The Image is a High Quality version, but look at the fine print.

It clearly states there are 6 Pokemon-EX in full art versions.

It confirms already that we will get Darkrai, Tornadus, Raikou and Groudon. If we look at the japanese sets, it is safe to assume we would get Entei and Kyogre.

Really don't think this upcoming set will get Dragon stuff as there isnt a single mention of them.

So yeah.

I kinda thought that was a given. This set should give us up to Dark Rush, and the August set will give the Dragon Selection + the 2 dragon mini-sets. Then we'll see the Keldeo battle deck + whatever next set they announce for Japan as the November set.
 
Raikou makes Eel mirrors a ton more interesting, and about destroys setup decks... Max Potion being usable in a big way, Skyarrow Bridge gives it free retreat so you can just swap between two with Eel, and discarding all energy means Mewtwo needs 9 to KO...

Not hyping or anything, that'll require testing... Just throwing it out there that TPCi clearly wants us to use basics...

:sigh:...

heh these prices are hilarious. (818$ for a case... :lol:)

One case is 6 boxes.

$818.64/6=$136.44

One box would normally cost $143.64. That's a five percent savings right there.

Now, one box contains 36 booster packs.

$136.44/36=$3.79

Booster packs normally cost $3.99. That's still a five percent savings.

Therefore, if you're going to get six boxes, whether combined with others, by yourself, or whatever else, get a case.

(this is assuming all retailers sold at MSRP, which they definitely don't for card stuff)
