Shadow play
Moody black and silver art, with Umbreon V, Mega Absol ex, Zekrom ex, Lugia V and N’s Zoroark ex.
About this collection
Shadow play is a page of cards that mostly decided colour was optional. Storm clouds, night skies and silver light, with Thundurus, Noivern and Lugia sweeping across the top and two Zoroark lurking at either end.
Mitsuhiro Arita drew two of them, Noivern V and Mega Absol ex. The Paldea Evolved Magikarp in the middle is the only one who didn’t get the dress code.
The colours
Mostly black, white and silver, with Zekrom ex’s lightning blue and that one splashy Magikarp breaking up the gloom.
Standout cards
Umbreon V, Evolving Skies #189, illustrated by Teeziro.
Mega Absol ex, Mega Evolution #180, illustrated by Mitsuhiro Arita.
Zekrom ex, Black Bolt #166, illustrated by danciao.
Make your own
Colour themes are a good excuse to mix eras and rarities, and Binder Studio helps you try the order before anything goes in a sleeve. If an artist keeps appearing, start an illustrator collection.
