Collecting Karrablast

Karrablast debuted alongside its evolution Escavalier in 2011's Noble Victories, and the two are worth binding together since the games famously require trading one for the other to evolve. Ten of its eleven cards are commons or uncommons, with the 2025 Black Bolt Illustration Rare as the sole premium entry. It's a cheap page to fill before moving on to the pricier Escavalier stage.
