Pete's Expert Summary
My human has procured what appears to be a cardboard sarcophagus filled with smaller, crinkly packets. They call it a "Booster Bundle," which I can only assume is a term for a collection of disappointments. Inside are glossy rectangles depicting bizarre, brightly-colored beasts engaged in what looks like a rather undignified shouting match. The stated purpose is for humans to "collect" or "play" with them, which involves a lot of staring and sorting. From my superior vantage point, the only elements of value are the delightfully noisy foil wrappers, which make an exquisite sound when pounced upon, and the box itself—a perfectly serviceable, if temporary, fortress. The cards? Merely shiny, slippery things that get in the way of the truly engaging packaging, and a potential waste of a perfectly good sunbeam.
Key Features

A Tale from Pete the Cat
The ritual began as it always does. My human, with the clumsy focus of a toddler, tore open the box. The sound of ripping foil—a symphony of promise—echoed in the living room. He laid the cards out on the floor in neat little piles, a mosaic of mediocrity. I watched from the arm of the sofa, feigning disinterest, my tail giving only the slightest twitch of contempt. Another collection of flat, static objects. I was about to return to my nap when a sliver of afternoon sun, piercing through the window, struck one of the cards. It was no ordinary reflection. The card, which my human called "prismatic," didn't just shine; it fractured the light into a thousand tiny, shimmering daggers. A kaleidoscope of color exploded across the room, dancing on the walls, the ceiling, and—most importantly—my own pristine, gray fur. Suddenly, I was adorned in shifting nebulas of emerald, sapphire, and ruby. The light wasn't just on me; it felt as though it was *coming from* me. The little red dot my human sometimes wields is a single, frantic peasant; this was an entire royal court of light, and I was its throne. I leaped from the sofa with a grace that belied my languor. I didn't stalk the card itself, but the patterns it cast. I pounced on a splash of violet on the rug, batting at the ethereal glow. I chased a streak of gold up the leg of the coffee table. My human chuckled, "Oh, Pete, you like the pretty holo!" The fool. He saw a cat playing with light. I was communing with it. I was a celestial being, cloaked in cosmic energies, battling phantoms of pure color in a silent, epic war that his simple mind could never comprehend. He eventually gathered his precious squares, but he left the "prismatic" one on the floor, likely amused by my "game." I ignored the card now. The sun had shifted, and the magic was gone. But I knew its secret. This wasn't a toy. It was an instrument, a prism that, under the right celestial alignment, could transform a humble living room into my personal galactic stage. It is worthy. Not for play, but for the moments when it allows me to wear the universe as a coat.
