Sandstorm presents a compact 100-card collection with a clear structural emphasis on Pokémon cards, supported by a small Trainer suite and a single Energy. Its rarity mix is anchored by Commons and Uncommons, with a measured layer of holos and a handful of ex cards. Across the set, the dominant look is traditional and cartoonish illustration, favoring readable, simple layouts that keep the subject centered and easy to parse.
The prevailing tone is playful and lighthearted, carried by vibrant and soft palettes that often drift into pastel and earthy greens. Compositions stay balanced and focused, with only occasional pushes into more dynamic staging. For visual highlights, Aerodactyl ex and Typhlosion ex stand out as polished focal pieces, while Gardevoir ex is also a key card to note for collectors, as it leads the set’s market value.
The set’s artwork is led in volume by Mitsuhiro Arita and Midori Harada, with substantial contributions from Atsuko Nishida and Ken Sugimori. Together, their combined presence reinforces Sandstorm’s mix of traditional rendering and approachable, cartoon-leaning character work.
