On Friday, we got the full Stellar Miracle set list, which is expected to be part of the Stellar Crown expansion when it comes out in English. In this post, we'll go over all the interesting cards and our first impressions.

Item Cards and Trainers

Glass Trumpet: This item card is incredible. It can only be played if you have a Terastal Pokémon in play. With numerous great Terastal Pokémon to pick from, the Glass Trumpet is an amazing new energy acceleration option. By choosing two of your benched colorless Pokémon, you can attach a basic energy from your discard pile to each of them. This card is expected to warp how Terastal decks perform.

Fossils: New fossils like Antique Root Fossil and Protective Shell have been introduced. However, these fossils don't seem powerful enough to become mainstays.

Papaya Berry and OCA Barrier: These cards reduce damage from Psychic and Fire Pokémon, respectively. While useful, their playground will be limited.

ASCS Tools - Sparkling Crystal and Deluxe Bomb: Sparkling Crystal reduces the attack cost of the Terastal Pokémon it's attached to by one of any type of energy, and Deluxe Bomb places 12 damage counters on the attacking Pokémon when the holder is damaged. These tools can be game-changers depending on the meta.

Gravity Stone: This tool increases the retreat cost of both active Pokémon by one colorless. It could be relevant for trapping strategies.

Supporter Cards

Crispin: Search for two Basic Energy cards of different types, attach one to a Pokémon and put the other in your hand. This can be relevant for Dragon-style and Terastal decks.

Lacy: Shuffles your hand into your deck and draws four cards. If your opponent has three or fewer prize cards, draw eight instead. Its utility doesn't seem strong compared to other options like Roxanne and Iono.

K: Place two cards from your hand to the bottom of your deck and draw four cards. This card currently lacks strong synergies.

Brier: One of the most exciting new cards, Brier allows you to take an additional prize if a Terastal Pokémon KO's your opponent's active when they have exactly two prize cards remaining.

Stadium Cards

Great Tree: This allows you to evolve a basic Pokémon all the way to stage two. However, its practicality falls short compared to Rare Candy.

Area Zero Underdepths: This card allows you to have up to eight Pokémon on your bench if you have a Terastal Pokémon in play. A game-changing card for trapos ex and other decks relying on a large bench.

Pokémon

Jolic: Allows you to search for up to two basic Grass and two Lightning energies and attach them as you like. It synergizes well with Terastal Pokémon.

Galvantula EX: An excellent card for item-lock strategies, the attack "Fuugarite" has the potential to disrupt opponents massively.

Lapras EX: A basic water Pokémon, but it seems to be more of a gimmick card than a competitive one.

Salazzle: Helps discard cards from your opponent's hand, an option for hand-lock decks.

Cinderace EX and Hydreigon EX: Solid cards but not groundbreaking.

Notable Mentions

Noctowl: The dual-haunt ability allows you to search for two trainer cards when you evolve into Noctowl. Comparable to the Shady Dealings Inteleon, it's anticipated to be the backbone of many Terastal Pokémon decks.

Trapos EX: This card allows for varied gameplay with its Unified Beatdown and Crown Opal attacks, which cater to different types of opponents and scenarios.

Conclusion

Stellar Miracle is poised to be a game-changing expansion with its powerful Terastal Pokémon and supportive items, trainers, and tools. The set will definitely reshape how decks are constructed and played, offering numerous new strategies and synergies for competitive play.
