Is Brilliant Stars Worth it?
TL;DR: Definitely — Brilliant Stars is one of the best all-around sets in Sword & Shield!
The big chase is the alt art Charizard vs. Venusaur, but what really makes this set shine is the introduction of the Trainer Gallery, which added a whole new layer of collectible cards with gorgeous full-art Pokémon + trainer combos. You’ve got hits like Arceus VSTAR, Charizard VSTAR, and Umbreon from the Trainer Gallery that keep pack openings exciting.
It’s got a great balance of heavy-hitters and fun pulls, making it one of those sets that feels rewarding whether you’re opening packs for the thrill or filling a binder.
