Where it came from
The Lugia-EX card, cataloged as BW83 in the Black Star Promos series, was released in 2013 as part of a promotional campaign for the Pokémon Trading Card Game. It was designed to coincide with the release of the Plasma Storm expansion, featuring the distinctive 'Team Plasma' aesthetic characterized by the signature blue border and the team's emblem. This card served as a highly sought-after inclusion for players and collectors looking to integrate powerful colorless-type attackers into their decks during the height of the Black & White series.
The artwork for this card was provided by Eske Yoshinob, a prolific illustrator within the franchise known for a dynamic, high-contrast style that emphasizes the power of legendary Pokémon. The design focus was to highlight Lugia in its legendary capacity, utilizing the Team Plasma frame to signify its thematic allegiance within the game's narrative. Upon release, it was well-received by the competitive community for its versatile 'Overflow' ability, which allowed players to take an additional prize card when knocking out an opponent's Pokémon, making it a staple for aggressive strategies.
