An Ascended Heroes master set is 613 cards — every card plus its 38 reverse holos and Poké Ball / Master Ball patterns.
What an Ascended Heroes master set includes
One of everything: all 295 numbered cards — the 217 base plus 78 secret rares — then every reverse holo, 38 of them. That sweeps in the 55 Illustration and Special Illustration Rares, the full-art cards that carry most of the value. The ones you have to land:
- Mega Charizard Y ex (#294) — Mega Hyper Rare
- Mega Dragonite ex (#295) — Mega Hyper Rare
- Mega Froslass ex (#265) — Mega Attack Rare
- Mega Eelektross ex (#266) — Mega Attack Rare
- Mega Diancie ex (#267) — Mega Attack Rare
- Mega Hawlucha ex (#268) — Mega Attack Rare
The extras unique to Ascended Heroes
Ascended Heroes also carries 140 Poké Ball and 140 Energy pattern cards. They count toward a true master set, which is why Ascended Heroes' total runs so far past its 217-card base.

The Ascended Heroes master-set total
All in, a complete Ascended Heroes master set is 613 cards versus 217 for the base — about 2.8× the work, or roughly 69 pages in a 9-pocket binder. Sleeve and storage budget should target the larger number if you're going all the way on Ascended Heroes.
