Just as with the Classic Collection, the contents aren’t legal for tournament play because they feature reprint cards that are not part of the standard rotation.

The two decks are excellent battle-ready products that players can expect to bring to their local club or tournament and score with.

The Combined Powers Premium Collection may not be usable in competitive play, but is a great sealed product for Pokemon investors, and features beautiful art which makes it great fun for playing against friends.

The Mabostiff Ex box isn’t the best for competitive play, but the adorable artwork and chance to get lucky with your booster pack pulls will make it a fun addition for collectors and players alike.
