I'm new to PTCGO and while the servers are down and so there's not much to discuss, I figured I'd ask for some advice.
I started playing about 2 weeks ago, but didn't switch to the vs ladder till it was halfway over. I threw some cards into a theme deck and ended up in expanded. Obviously I struggled, so with a couple of days left, I switched to theme and the lightning bolts came flying in. Managed to get halfway along the prize ladder.
2 questions:
>trade packs/chests for the cards in a deck you actually want to build
1. How do I decide on a deck? Most decks seem to be heavily reliant on ultra rare/EX cards - are there some easier to acquire decent decks?
>enter theme format tournaments whenever possible using coins
>don't open packs before you have a solid deck
2. Should I be doing this for ALL my tokens? I've learned that Shaymin-EX is basically mandatory for every deck and the trade offers are ridiculous - I was going to spend tokens on Roaring Skies packs*. I have a decent amount of tickets anyway from the wheel/ladder to start with.
*I have already bought some BREAKpoint/Steam Siege packs to try to get some cards I like, but probably won't use competitively.
