Cards like Giratina VSTAR, valued at $250 - $300, and Arceus VSTAR, worth $180 - $230, make this set a top pick for collectors looking to invest in high-value items
Level-Up cards must be played onto the corresponding Pokmon like evolution cards (though, in one rule change, it must be the active Pokmon), allowing for a variant of the Pokmon with greater HP, damage and additional attacks - as well as being able to use the moves of the card from which they levelled-up, unlike evolutions
The rest of the deck goes along with the Kindred Pirate theme of getting all sorts of Pirates in play and attacking until your opponents die

Plenty of cards from that set offer benefits based on the number of party members or even having a full party with one of each creature type
