Illustration Rares in Temporal Forces
Illustration Rares (IR) and Special Illustration Rares (SIR) are the full-art, scene-style cards collectors chase hardest. Temporal Forces packs 32 of them into its 218 cards: 22 standard IRs and 10 larger-art SIRs. That puts the full-art count at roughly 15% of the set — a meaningful share of why Temporal Forces is fun to open.

IR vs SIR in Temporal Forces
If you're prioritising, the 10 Special Illustration Rares are the scarcer, pricier tier — full-bleed art and lower pull rates — while the 22 standard Illustration Rares are more attainable but still some of the best-looking cards in Temporal Forces. Together those 32 full-art cards are the heart of the set's chase and the reason a master set climbs to 358 cards.
