Perfect Order has 17 Illustration Rares and Special Illustration Rares.
Illustration Rares in Perfect Order
Illustration Rares (IR) and Special Illustration Rares (SIR) are the full-art, scene-style cards collectors chase hardest. Perfect Order packs 17 of them into its 124 cards: 11 standard IRs and 6 larger-art SIRs. That puts the full-art count at roughly 14% of the set — a meaningful share of why Perfect Order is fun to open.

IR vs SIR in Perfect Order
If you're prioritising, the 6 Special Illustration Rares are the scarcer, pricier tier — full-bleed art and lower pull rates — while the 11 standard Illustration Rares are more attainable but still some of the best-looking cards in Perfect Order. Together those 17 full-art cards are the heart of the set's chase and the reason a master set climbs to 203 cards.
