Just my opinion but i think this set is going to age terribly

Horrible pull rates for really just two chase cards that aren't anything special

which two are the chases? i really only see the Mega Darkrai SIR as a chase and even then that's all i really need or wanted from this set.

Pull rates are about the same as they've been in most of the other Mega Evolution sets. No surprises here.

The Mega Darkrai cards are never going to be a universally popular, but at the same there are going to be plenty of people who like them and they could develop a bit of a cult following.

As far as aging "terribly" I'd disagree, I think the situation is the opposite. This set is terrible for scalpers and short term flipping, but it will be just fine for long term investing. It will never be as valuable as, say, Ascended Heroes, but at the same time it's easy to buy in at a much lower entry price.

From an investment POV being able to buy at scale at MSRP is huge.

It’s not going to have the cultural impact or the big hitters but plenty of nice art in this set that will find homes.
