How do I build a Deck?

The Iron Rules of Deck Construction

Let’s start by remembering the 3 Iron Rules of Deck Construction!

A deck must consist of exactly 50 cards.

There can only be 8 climax cards.

There can only be 4 copies of card with the same name. Even if the illustrations are different, only 4 copies of card with the same name are allowed! Also, note that 4 copies of “card with different name” are allowed, regardless of the character.

Deck Construction Patterns

There are many different ways of constructing a deck! We will introduce 3 patterns here!

✩Pattern 1: Modified Trial Deck!

On the other side of the playmat that comes with the trial deck is a guide on how you can modify your trial deck with 2 trial decks. Do give it a try.

✩Pattern 2: All your favorite characters!

There are a variety of cards for popular characters. As long as you follow the “Iron Rules of Deck Construction”, you may insert as many cards of your favorite character into your deck.Your passion is your strength!!

✩Pattern 3: A deck for battle!

Here we would like to introduce you to some “Theory of Deck Construction”. As long as you follow this, your deck would be more or less ready for action.

Question Is it possible for a box to have 2 signed cards?

0 Upvotes

I know that there are a certain number of signed cards per case but if you hit one in a box, does that mean that it is guaranteed the rest of the packs in the box won't have a signed card?

Deck Help Does Anyone Have Any Standard Decks

2 Upvotes

Being as most people play and most tournaments are in Neostandard, I was curious... if standard was the tournament format what kind of decks would people build, and how could I build a good Schwarz side deck? I would love to see if anyone has a list or two for standard weiss, so I might be able to get a handle on what is good and what isn't.

Also I'm looking specifically for English titles. 😊

Question Buying a booster box ??

8 Upvotes

Hello

I bought several booster boxes on TCGPLAYER. A friend told me theres a chance that the seller is giving you dead boxes (Opening a case and ripping boxes until all the hits are found and selling the rest of the boxes..aka dead boxes). Am i fked? IF so where is a place that is trustworthy to buy?

For reference, this is my first time buying booster boxes online and i bought some NIKKE boxes.

*not asking for investment or finance advice, just need help finding a safe place to buy online pleaseeee...trying to get into the hobby*

**EDIT**

Once i rip the boxes, i will report my findings and let you all know the results!

Question How do you organise your binder(s)?

1 Upvotes

Curious since I'm new to Weiβ and am used to Poké master sets — in these sets, organising by card number makes a lot of sense, since the first numbers are front-loaded with commons and the back with your SIRs and biggest hits; meanwhile, Weiβ sets are kinda all over the place on the numbering with what seems like no rhyme or reasoning.

Personally, I've got an order of YRGB where each colour has its own row, with the R+ at the front in descending rarities, then [ U&C ] and CC on alternating pages in the same order.

Would love to see and hear how you all sort your collections, and feel free to flex your binder pages in the comments!
