With Mega Darkrai ex hype building ahead of Pitch Black, honest question: does one big chase card make a set "good" for you — or do you judge a set on everything else?

Discussion

As we prepare to host our Pitch Black pre-release today, almost every conversation we're hearing is about one card. It got us debating: when you look back on sets you loved, was it the chase card that made them special, or the stuff nobody talks about — the artwork depth, the playable commons, the vibe of opening packs with friends?

One customer shared that a set with no monster chase card can still be an all-timer. Where do you land? Any set you loved that had a "weak" chase card, or one you skipped entirely because the hype was all one card deep?
