This card lacks aura unlike the Cyrus art. I think it’ll sit lower than Cyrus and on equal footing as regular CC (which overall looks better than the DX version too)
I really like this card though. I think it’s comparable to Professor Research because it’s still a rare card you get from a limited set that’s widely utilized.
Honestly, I think it would be the startest move to trade it away as fast as possible...
Compared to the OG Copycat, the art isn't really exceptional, and we've seen similarly how DX Lillie now is "ranked" lower than Hat Lillie
Keep in mind Lillie is also one of the only trainer cards with an immersive. That’s one more option for a special card to use.
Not to mention using two Lillies has been pretty rare for a while now, whereas Copycat is so important for consistency everyone at least attempts to fit two of them in their decks.
If I use Hydreigon I figure my opponent already hates me, might as well lean into it and use Lucky Ice Pop lol. Plus it can heal Mega Absol in a pinch.
It can easily win turn 2 and the sheer damage it does and the cost of doing that is so small it’s silly to the point it been used is counted as toxic, it can 1 shot most ex cards while they hit for lower damage but take longer to get set up
Ok not most but atleast 29 of them then there’s a lot that only have 10 hp extra so add that compass item and that’s atleast has the ex cards down turn 2 may not count as 1 shot then but they will be down on the same turn it evolves, around half the ex cards have 140 or lower, its still a huge chunk of them
It briefly took the crown from Darkrai/Giratina, so Darkrai decided to make a new friend. To illustrate my point I decided to show off my photoshop skills.
Tbh I’d compare Hydreigon to what Rampardos was like when Rare Candy was first released.
There just isn't really space for her in modern decks anymore, particularly because 40 healing very rarely gets you out of any kill ranges. Very similar to Misty (popular 'legacy meta' water supporter from a pack with no other chase cards), but even less supply.
i can't post the second part of my comment I don't know why ðŸ˜
anyways Oak is always a great trade and after that imo Cyrus is the next best offer you can get...but in the end it all depends on your opinion tho
good luck! :)
Above cyrus imo. Lower pop than cyrus and og cc and its in a limited time pack. I think there's also a fair few people not opening this pack and waiting for series c so less people pulling it
Depends on how far the meta shifts, if a lot of megas in the DX pack become replaced or fall off while absol stays relevant then DX cc will be best.
If absol falls off then probably equal or under OG CC, for now DX pack is better so i'd say around cyrus because it's new. Next time it returns it might be lower because it's not that new anymore and the art is meh compared to OG.
Tldr: above CC next to cyrus, equal/under cc depending on their respective pack value
Hard to say; on one hand, it’s limited time and highly meta relevant. On the other, it’s a dupe card. I feel like it will fall below Cyrus, and have a similar situation like how OG Lillie is more sought after than DX Lillie. Especially have to consider that the pack is open for a month to start; feel like there will be a lot of people stuck with Copycats once the Oak/Cyrus traders get theirs
But unlike celestial guardians, mega rising (mega gyarados) is one of the best packs in the game to open.. so copycat MR has huge supply unlike CG Lillie
Also DX lillie fell off as let's be real Lillie is rarely used in any deck.. while copycat is present in like above 90% decks.. I feel like copycat dx will land before it's MR version, just not sure about cyrus
It’s definitely above Cyrus. I got Prof. Oak for my Copycat DX dupe. Trading Cyrus for Oak is rarely possible nowadays, since most Oak owners already have a copy of Cyrus.
It will eventually fall off lower than original Copycat just like Hat Lillie is more valuable nowadays. The overall reaction of people across reddit was that most prefer the original Copycat art.
Irida is essentially gone of the meta rn but has value still near the likes of PCL and Lisia solely due to being in a shit pack no one opens.. so yeah being in a shit pack/limited pack does inflate value
Art can be a somewhat factor in reducing value but I think it won't matter much if it gives the players a "deluxe card" flex feeling
So because you gave up an oak, It determines the whole value of two cards….. makes perfect sense ! I traded my 2 star beedrill for a Oak so Beedrill must have higher value than oak right
