State/Province Championships are happening this month and next! Will you be competing?
The in-client store's products consists of theme decks (LTR-on), 5-card packs (NXD-on), and a 1-pack blister mimicking those found in the checklanes of big box stores like Target. Every now and then, other products like 3-pack blisters and products mimicking IRL value products like boxes are available for a short time.
The best decks for beginners and theme deck tournaments are still as follows (But not in terms of consistency)...
>Yveltal/Xerneas Battle Pack>Red Genesect Collection (not available in the TCGO)>Resilient Life>Psy Crusher>Destruction Rush>Dark Hammer>Ocean's Core>DragonSpeedAny starter deck released before LTR cannot be found on the in-client shop and must be redeemed from a code card.
