The Pokemon TCG’s MUR cards both feature a sleek gold appearance. This isn’t the first time the designers have released gold cards, but as PokeBeach notes, these feature completely original art; in the past, those cards reused the artwork that appeared on the full art cards. That should make MUR cards a lot more enjoyable for collectors, and something even more worth seeking out. An image of the Lucario MUR card can be found in the Tweet embedded below.
As is often the case with Japanese Pokemon TCG sets, Mega Brave and Mega Symphonia will be slightly altered when they arrive in North America. Mega Brave and Mega Symphonia are getting a combined release locally, and will be put together as a set simply titled Mega Evolution. Mega Evolution will arrive on September 26th, and several products have already been revealed. We should have a better idea of The Pokemon Company’s plans for the English versions of these MUR cards as that release date gets a little bit closer.
It will be interesting to see how future TCG sets handle MUR cards. Following Mega Evolution in September, it’s looking like the next Pokemon card set in North America will be called Phantasmal Flames. Presumably, that set will be putting a big focus on Charizard’s Mega Evolutions, as it will contain cards from Japan’s upcoming Inferno X set. In theory, that means we could see a gold Mega Charizard MUR card. Given how much attention Charizard cards tend to see from collectors (and have since the release of the original Base Set), that could be a very big deal. However, that’s purely speculation at this time.
