The Dragon Storm master set has only two variant families, which keeps the job compact: 66 slots for 66 cards, so each card adds exactly one slot on average. Normal prints account for 49 of them and holos for 17. Nine to a side, the whole master set checklist fits in 4 double-sided binder pages, a small project for a Sun & Moon era expansion released on April 6, 2018 in the Japanese Pokémon TCG.
The Dragon Storm master set is built from just two families, Normal with 49 slots and Holo with 17. There are no reverse holo slots here and no stamped or edition-specific families, so no card has to be tracked down in a second finish. A holo slot is the foil version of a card printed with a shiny finish, and each of the 17 is its own entry in the binder. The master set checklist reads as a close to straight run of the set.
| Variant family | Slots | Priced | Share of value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Normal | 49 | 40 | 19% |
| Holo | 17 | 17 | 81% |
The Dragon Storm master set cost is heavily concentrated. The ten most valuable slots hold 75 percent of the total value, and the holo finish alone accounts for 83 percent against 17 percent for normal prints, even though holos are the smaller group by slot count. At the other end, the lower-value half of the priced slots holds just 4 percent. Prices are tracked on 57 of the 66 slots, as of October 24, 2026.

Five holo slots set the pace in the Dragon Storm master set: Blaine's Last Stand, a Super Rare, Fiery Flint, an Ultra Rare, White Kyurem GX, a Super Rare, Charizard, a Rare, and Dragonite GX, which sits in the tier above Rare. Together they hold 60 percent of the master set's total value. All five are the main holo print of their card rather than a variant, so no obscure extra slot is hiding among them. The difficulty sits in a handful of high-value holo cards, not in scattered extras.
At 66 slots, the Dragon Storm master set is about equal to the era median of 73 slots, so it is an average-sized job by slot count for a Sun & Moon era set. By master set value it ranks 23rd of 36 comparable sets in the era. The neighbouring sets are much larger: SM6: Forbidden Light has 110 slots and SM7: Sky-Splitting Charisma has 112, and both hold higher master set value than this one.

A SM6a: Dragon Storm master set is one copy of every card AND every variant in the set — the 66 cards on this page, with their Normal, Reverse Holo and Holo prints each listed and priced on their own. Sign in and the checklist tracks what you own, in step with the Cardboard Alpha app.
The large NM-only figure is a complete catalog estimate when every printing has current NM pricing. LP, MP, HP, and DMG “and up” totals below it use the requested condition or a better available condition. These are summed reference prices, not a quote from one seller; a dash means the current market does not cover every printing yet.
“LP and up” means lightly played or better: the total uses LP when available, then NM as the better-condition fallback. The MP, HP, and DMG tiers follow the same pattern.
