Phantasmal Flames is officially out in the wild, ready for Pokémon Trainers worldwide to catch it. Luckily, I'm here to make sure they can do it with more Pokécoins left in their backpacks.
Right now, the Phantasmal Flames Booster Box is under market value compared to TCGplayer, and you could save another $60 on top of that deal if you play your cards right.
This isn't just exclusive to the Booster box either; you can even get Phantasmal Flames and Mega Evolution Booster Bundles for free with Amazon's latest promo card offer in the run-up to Black Friday.
All you need to do is apply for an Amazon Visa card, get accepted, and you'll receive an instant $60 credit on your Amazon account.
Got AMEX or Discover? Use it at checkout to pay $1 off your order for a possible discount of up to 50%. It isn't always available, but 100% worth checking before you commit to buying.
The discount should be applied automatically. Just follow the link here to see if you qualify, or see here for the Discover offer instead.
Of course, I wouldn't give any financial advice, so if you'd struggle not getting into debt with a credit card, it might be best just taking the discounted price as is.
There's always a chance you'll pull the Mega Lucario ex Gold Hyper Rare or SIR or perhaps the Mega Gardevoir ex Gold Hyper Rare or SIR, but there's also some gorgeous full arts to catch such as the Bulbasaur IR, Ivysaur IR and Venusaur ex SIR.
Or you could just follow the hyperlinks and buy them outright, with the Illustration Rares costing far less than a booster bundle if you can't snag the free gift card.
The good news is Phantasmal Flames is moving to more affordable pricing after it's launch weekend, with over $200 off the Gold Hyper Rare Mega Charizard X ex alone.
There's plenty to chase in this set, but if you want to save more money i'd suggest buying single cards over opening endless boosters.
Here's where to buy the top chase cards right now alongside up-to-date market values.
