Deoxys VMAX
The contrast in art styles between Akira Komayama’s Deoxys, and the previous Mew, is one of the reasons Pokémon cards can be so celebrated and adored. Much like the Mew, there’s so much going on here, the first-glance appearance of a Mythical Pokémon stood in the light of a UFO belying a more complicated scene.
That’s not a UFO, but a Gigantamaxed Orbeetle, the megamind ladybug beast. But look at those planets, the colors chosen, the pink blasts of laser light. Surely, with this collection, there’s a case for clean prints of these cards with all the text removed?
