THANX!

Uncommon is a diamond. Rare is a star. If it is a Pokemon EX , the star is usually foiled don;t know about SP or LVX. now about saving money : I would get any theme deck to start (60 cards = S20).

While as individual cards they would be decent, the fact you need both cards in hand kills it. Two conceptual ideas were introduced in HS. Pokémon Prime are regular Pokémon with better attacks and higher HP. Nothing significant about them. Pokémon Legend are Pokémon that take up two cards to be played directly from your hand onto your bench.
