Happy New Year! Thanks for sticking with us through another year :) This week, we break down our 10 best cards of the year. These cards were selected based off their usability and performance through the last year. We tried to stay away from major deck archetype cards (like Gardevoir ex or Dragapult ex) just to make things interesting. What did we miss? Let us know down below!
