For the first time ever, a set is themed entirely around a single character: Ursula
But these rules also permit a certain degree of consistency in game planning and play, such that decks are not just a completely random agglomeration of powerful cards, but can actually constitute strategies. The 60 card minimum and 4 card maximum was a brilliant balancing of these elements, replayability and consistency, that has helped Magic endure for decades
The Extradimensional Crisis meta is evolving, causing previous top decks like Magnezone and Tapu Koko ex to slip down
However, as of now, there is no evidence that backward packs have rarer cards in Pokmon TCG Pocket
C Shadow Slice Another expensive cipher card
So effects that cause you to discard your spells with shroud still work unless the card in question is Quagnoth
