Theres a new set reportedly coming in January 2024 that will focus on Shiny Pokemon yet again, with PokeBeach revealing some of the first details
They wont make your cards stronger, but they can definitely make them look cooler
Only playable in a select few formats, Brainstorm's strength lies in the sheer amount of card selection it gives you
Elemental Badge works specifically with Pokemon V that have Vaporeon, Jolteon, or Flareon in their name and reduces their attack costs by a Colorless Energy
While there are other cards that can provide similar benefits, such as Rhystic Study or Consecrated Sphinx, which offer more control over card draw or can generate overwhelming advantage, Kami of the Crescent Moon can still see play in casual or themed decks where its spirit type and lore are relevant, but it may not be the optimal choice in competitive settings
Opt lets you balance your deck, like other cheap cycle cards, while also increasing consistency like scry lands do, yet affords you more flexibility and options as to how and when you use it than basically any of the alternatives
