## Chasing them in Obsidian Flames

Obsidian Flames runs to 230 cards with 18 Illustration/Special Illustration Rares, but landing Charizard ex, Ninetales and Charizard ex covers most of what collectors actually want — a far quicker goal than the full 406-card master set. The rarest single pull, Charizard ex (#228) (Hyper Rare), rounds out the want-list.
